  • WM and DW on will put robot vacuum cleaner on before I leave in a minute. DD2 room passes level 1 already apart from a dust of the skirting boards. Her window sill on the other-hand has "displays" of toys which she hasn't played with for ages. I may need to have a chat before removal as I think removal means charity shop. Off for a busy but fun day.

    Keep flying ladies (and gents).

    Just the 7 here - and they are great little-hot-water-bottles!!

    Flying (in an aeroplane) this time next week so plenty of sorting and packing to be done. I have lots of lists!!! :o

    I'm all for pet rodents, but as yet our 'tenants' haven't offered cuddles; just the potential for chewing through the solar panel and other cables in the loft!!

    Have a great trip.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Nothing to suggest the mouse has been, erm, dealt with.
    You just reminded me, when we had mice my ex hated the thought of seeing them in the trap. But would always insist on checking to see if any had gone off, then freak out if they had! Just let me sort it woman!

    Morning,

    I have a couple of hours before I have to take DD to her hospital appointment in the Big City. Spare posivibes always welcome.

    So theoretically that is a couple of hours to fly. I have succeeded in emptying the dw, switching on the wm, and will now tackle the (thankfully small) ironing pile. Downstairs loo and ensuite are also on the list, so I'll see how I go.

    Traces of the large variety of furry things found at work yesterday. Now I'm getting paranoid about where they might be hiding in the house!

    I hope you're not all getting blown away - the wind is howling around here atm.

    Morning all. Not a lot of flying going on here but the basics are done. About to start work so will see what I can fit in between shifts.

    Have a great day everyone.
