I went back to bed DP decided not to go out as it rained heavy so I stayed there until just before 6pm he ordered the kids tea (because he can't cook) which I suppose I will forgive him for for being nice as he said 'thought it would save me getting you up to make it'. Anyway, back up now, decided sod assignment and will guess the rest, I've answered enough right to pass, I hope, will enter it online after I get the boys to bed. I am a little cross with him however as he's ordered something else on Ebay.

Sorry if my cold has passed via the tinternet, possibly just the season for it.

Solway, sounds great, WD40 comment made me laugh very loudly!

DS1 I am pleased with, a boy on his bus nipped him and he didn't hit him back, must be a first, driver came out to tell DP about it so that we knew etc.

vanilla I think I will join you in that celebration cuppa!
