    Aww Narc0 that's a shame. I wish I lived nearer, I'd take it off your hands :D

    List updated for tomorrow - I'll be out all day, though.

    Looks like our elves have arrived :D aww I missed the little blighters lol. DD keeps mentioning when they pegged her pants on the dolly washing line, lol. I have a list of ideas (including a new one made possible for the very lovely valli) of what they can get up to this time... By mid-month it'll be driving me nuts, lol.

    Right, bed for me. Early start tomorrow.

    Piggers, sounds like you need to get yourself to the quacks to get something stronger to deal with this. Take care.

    I have a sparkly hob and oven. About to clean the fridge.
