    I'm in - thank you, Dusty :A

    Had lunch today with mum and 6 members of her family, only 2 of which I'd met before! Lots of sharing of photos and memories!
    Flying will be mostly delegated tomorrow as the birthday girl takes a back seat.

    It's not your birthday tomorrow, is it?!! :rotfl:

    Will probably PM you tomorrow with a genealogy query - no rush, just has me stumped!

    ionafan - you may find yourself with a PM too!

    Not a good start to the day. I was up early - too early really, but couldn't get back to sleep :mad:

    Came down to find little black ants scurrying over the kitchen worktops. :shocked: YUCK! I hate ants in the house! They are so tiny that I can't tell where they got in, and every time I move something, an ant or three runs out. Lots of them had congregated under the little food refuse bin provided by the local council, so I've made a start by putting that outside the back door to deal with later.

    Has anybody got any otherwise reasonably eco-friendly ideas as to how I can persuade the ants to go?

    Oh no! - a sudden thought - I hope they haven't scaled the bread bin and attacked the sticky hot cross buns... (not the home-made ones, but still tasty)
    :eek::eek::eek:
    Perhaps I'll let DH check that one... :o

  • I'm in :j

    Need to get my butt in gear and get the house sorted before 'squirt' arrives. This is my first week of Maternity that I will be in the house myself so should (fingers crossed) make a good start.

    Just kicked Hubby out to work so I'm off for a shower then to start work in the kitchen :D

    Will check in later with a nice cuppa:coffee:
