    Has Smilie been watching the Musketeers. Don't let him watch Star Wars - you end up with mop and brush heads lying around and no steels (handles) as they have all been used as light sabres (the metal ones break, the wooden ones take longer to break).

    Saw a little boy in a Spiderman costume yesterday and remembered the time DS1 and DS2 tried to walk up the walls in the large bedroom. They melted jelly cubes onto their hands and feet and then 'helped' each other do the walking / climbing - they must have helped one another because they had got as far as the ceiling.

    *snort* -sorry mothernerd - had to laugh out loud at your post :D:rotfl:

    Did the boys get guided in the techniques of Ninja housework in order to clean up the walls and ceiling?????? :rotfl:

    Evening peoples :D

    mothernerd I firmly used to believe I could fly and climb walls when I was small. Distant hazy memories of jelly free par coring way before it was 'invented' :rotfl:

    Smilie is duelling today! How energetic. I can barely singling right now. ;)

    Am off to warm up some chickpea korma I made from scratch (with spices and everything... Greying rubbing off on me) and have a relaxing wander through diaries. Spent the day out at the park in the rain with the small. 'It's Slippelly mummy!'

    Night guys xx
