[Kazz]

Sorry we had a few fireworks last night and Bella is restless and needed a wee and would not go out without me. Back now and she's asleep on the sofa again.

[angieh]

We also had fireworks here at about 6.45 - evidently Santa had arrived at the pub and he has to have fireworks. WHY??? Poor little Monty was a shivering wreck again, but came out of it quicker now I use the Pet Remedy on him.

[Kazz]

What have you been up to Karen ?
Have put the new curtains up in the lounge both windows cleaned the windows and out up clean nets also eggsehelled the downstairs doors and frame and eggshelled the skirting in the living room.
I am liking eggshell rather than gloss a nicer finish I think and no smell and better still will not yellow like gloss now the European guidelines have reduced an element,
Oh done the front garden weeded swept cut back where needed and applied more weed killer to the path.
