  • I've actually just read the wiki link about Catbells. It describes it as "family friendly". Unless your family has the agility of a mountain goat and their lungs linked up to an oxygen tank, this is a joke! My heart was beating so hard I thought it was gonna burst out of my chest!

    Morning all

    The drizzle rain has arrived here, and I still have 5 wash loads to do :( 2 of those are blankets we usually have on our beds so I'm not to worried about catching up with those, but I'll probably have to do a towel wash and stick it in the TD as its raining until the weekend now apparently.

    DD has gone off to school in her new waterproof coat and is very chuffed thats its lighter and smaller than her other one. I must remember she won't necessarily "grow into" stuff anymore, she just seems to be getting taller by the day and growing too long for regular sized stuff!

    I've already done some ironing, some project work, and now I'm off to do dailies. Then I guess I best get on with trying to figure out why my computer doesn't like playing videos, but DD's laptop is fine playing exactly the same one :mad: Its got to be a recent setting or update I'm sure of it as everything was fine until April :mad:

    Ok here goes this week! If its gone its done or doesn't apply :p

  • Gaffer tape - always worked for mine :D

    Not much flying for me today - I have Job 1 until after lunch, need to go out and buy meatballs and stuff for bolognese - DS's birthday request - and then I'm at Job 2 from 4.30 until 10pm. OH just commented on what a pit this place is and has begun flying. Guess what he'll be doing on his day off :D I can hear the pots being done downstairs, so guess I'll get out of bed now, shower for work and leave him to it. :j

    Dog is still lying in bed too - I think I've broken him!

    Have a lovely day. Think Summer is officially over as of today.
