Jude, you notice that do as little cooking as I can (I do not fry onions too often and if I do I add a bit of water and sugar to make them brown).
Jude you are one of the Earth's good people, anyone else would have exploded and ranted about the kid!
I have just put up a newblind in hija's clean (very clean) room. Had to get it from stpreroom and I always bang the door first to remove any critters, but this time when I barged it open, a little gecko head popped round, I was frit! so I gor a piece of plank and banged all around the door, and it's little head kept popping up all over the place, so I got my trsty broom and covered my head and make a dash for the blind which I could see was , lukily straight ahead at the back, so zoomed in and zoomed out, and opened the blin on the patio in case some little critters had made it's home in it.
