I hope you are all waking up to a sunny morning this morning - it's lovely here in the frozen north! Warm and not a cloud in the sky and the day has bearly begun.
I have to say I haven't had the best of nights - our house alarm kept going off - 3 times we got woken up with a start. of course the first time you go looking for burglars in your sleepy stupor - only to realise that as you didn't actually set the alarm it wouldn't be that!!
Turns out we've had a series of power cuts through the night - that means that the alarm circuit is broken so it goes off automatically (my clever electric man husband tells me) and as the back up battery in the alarm must be flat there's nothing to stop it - all I know is I haven't had a good night's sleep. As for alarms we don't and never have used the blooming thing - it just came with the house - hands up who thinks alarms are a total waste of time - how many times have you rung the police when you heard one going off.... or do you just moan about the noise and ignore it?!
Anyway I digress....We have a great challenge for you at
