    Evening.

    Jelly made
    BM just peeped at me so must get them in the oven
    Also need to collect all the littles nic nics that have blown all over the garden!

    Mum just phoned my Dad is in hospital. He was doing some building work and has been stung by a scorpion (they live in Spain). The problem is he is allergic to stings (bees wasps etc) so he is in hospital on a drip, she is stuck up on the mountain they live at with 9 dogs and a 5 week old puppy! She has just phoned they are keeping him in, Dad said they have been brilliant at the hospital, x-rays the works.

    Have just ordered bunkbeds for littles room via quidsco of course:D .

    Rusty is a little sweetheart by the way. He doesnt know how to play as his previous home never paid him any attention. We took him for a walk but he was keen to get back as they get a treat when taken back to the kennels. Another family reserved him over 3 weeks ago but never called to collect him so thats how he is available so it means he has spent over a month of his 10 months in kennels!

    Am in tomorrow. Thanks for the ebay task I have several items I keep meaning to put on but never get round to it:rolleyes: . Right best get to my dough or it will be popping out of the machine.

    Mine has a little door on the front at the bottom and it is in there - I needed the manual to find it.

    Hi everyone,
    Can I join in? I've been lurking the last few weeks, but like a previous poster , I find I do well for a couple of days, then it starts to slide...
    I'm hoping that posting here will keep me on the straight and narrow.

    Will let you know how I get on......
