    To add to the fling boogie I have found two old, boxed mobile phones downstairs (as I recall seeing oxfam were recycling them) these are seriously ancient but...because I know there are two more upstairs which I will also take...so I'm well into the 40s now!

    Morning everyone.

    Bedroom done.
    Dailies done Monday and Tuesday.
    Floors washed.

    Will catch up a bit today. Need to pop to the bank of grandma as both DGS want a ex army Gore Tex coat which are being sold quite cheaply nearby. They both work outside most of the time so said I would help out.

    Kitchen is nearly cleared except for what I need till they come to start. Out tonight for a meal with the rest of the volunteers so that should be a good night.

    Hugs,spoons and sticks where needed.

    Off on the Manorial Rights march this morning.

    Thanks again for those who signed the petition, it is as 598 now so loads more needed. Just sharing again for anybody who didn't sign and might want to make a small band of people happy by showing their support:

    Healing and pain-free vibes for pigpen. Make the junior troops do all the work - that's what half term's for, isn't it? :rotfl:

    Hope everyone has a good week ;)

    Dusty, please don't get yourself arrested :eek:

    Aim is to make the press and TV, taking DS3 much to his disgust as it is hard to explain it to a 12 year old but he does understand the feudal system from school so that is a good start :T
