We got home at 5:30 this morning.. I'm saying NOWT.. but nothing is bald!!

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Valli - the bananas I just bung in, in their skins (mine are still in a bunch :rotfl: ). They arent any good for eating after but are brill for baking

MOJ2 - thats me all over TDing stuff in time for a party of sports session

Boddy - its hard to know what to get for the elderlies. My dear departed nanny was 95 in Dec and in a home so we just got her nice warm cardies etc. Love to your mummy for tomorrow. And glad to be of lightsabre service, we all need to laugh sometimes. Kids think I'm mad when I giggle at the thread sometimes.

Well done to everyone flying this morning - I usually do most of mine at weekends but as I've been at home I'm just chilling at the mo.

Well after saying I need to update my cupboard/freezer inventory as I have loads, I've just been out and bought more :eek:. I cant stop buying bargains - all this moneysaving lark is having the opposite effect. I've just bought another 4 x 6 packs of Muller corners on offer, but why we dont normally have them and I've now bought 12 x 6 packs now in the last week. I've got to make room for the 4 I just got . And I'm sitting eating a box of Orange Matchmakers for my lunch as I found them at 99p a box - needless to say I didnt buy just the one . And kellogs variety packs we dont have them either but I just bought 4 as they were only 99p a pack :mad: , no small wonder that I fail the grocery challenge each month as OH is as bad for yellow stickered stuff.

Ok gonna have a snuffle round the threads then put shopping away then I guess I better do something with those darn blackcurrants

Hi Honeys I'm home!

Just got back from taking elderly neighbour to Mr T, and she insisted in paying me £10 as she knew I'd just had to spend out loads of money on getting my car fixed, and she said that she'd much rather give the money to me than a taxi driver. Ahh bless her. I did say that it was too much, but she insisted as I'd walked round with her and helped her with her packing.

Back tidying my desk for 20 mins, then it's lunch methinks.

Well done for all of the achievements in the HHCs. You've all done loads, particularly Tag. I don't know how you do it all so quickly.

mine is black too...

flash gel with bleach.. .. fantastic stuff!!.. failing that.. drizzle washing up liquid or stardrops or bleach drown in boiling hot water.. tipped from the kettle in here and go have a cuppa and let it soak.. mop it off and it will all lift off beautifully!!

if it is a flat hob.. soak a cloth in hot water and lay it on over the drizzled washing up liquid/stardrops

Such is my idleness!! lol

............Days later and I still haven't done it............ I can't use bleach but will give it a soaking with stardrops again but on a cloth overnight.

My neighbour had an accident yesterday and we ended up helping out so my flying got the boot again.

DH is washing all the lads clothes that I have refused to do for them until their floors are cleared.

Thanks for the banana freezing tip Sarahshattered incidentally I wash (to remove the wax use HOT water) lemons, slice and open freeze them then put them in a polybox ready for use in Tanquerays (other gins are available - s'not Gordon's - s'mine;))

Thanks for the lemons tip...like that a lot!!! Mind you last night I was SO tired, I didn't even get the ice out, much less the lemon!!!!! :rolleyes:

:T :T My 100th post!! Feels like a milestone! :T :T

I have bleach, borax, soda crystals but havent been able to get stardrops yet - will any of these work - have tried soaking in a little bleach but still some marks there.:rolleyes:

I have a daughter called Jemimah!!.. spelled the posh way..WITH the 'h'...

caio .. isn't choi a cabbage or some green plate frond?

I knew choi didn't look right! My daughter is always called Jemima. She loves the name and everyone calls her that.

Anyway...maybe I wanted to say cabbage to you !!! :rotfl:

Dusty - how did the pigeon do? What a lovely son you have!
Lil-me - my first choice would be a rat too, we had three pre children, however, dd has always wanted a hamster. I've been bitten way too many times to really like them but this one is very friendly so I'll tolerate it.
Pigpen - how do you get home at 5.30 and then still function. I'm obviously old!!

I've got a one handed hot stone massage booked in this afternoon. She's had one before and says they're just as good as normal so she's happy to come. Thank goodness my dodgy finger is the same hand as my dodgy wrist and dodgy thumb!!!

Think i'll go do some flying before she arrives.

Have a lovely weekend xx

TAG

I'm starting to flag now and lose my momentum. DH has just come home and is relaxing watching the TV. Which drives me insane as I've still got so much to do. But I will not let it get to me:rolleyes:

Instead I'm gonna disappear for a bit. Go and lounge on the bed and watch TV with the intention of doing some ironing but I suspect sleep will will overcome me.

Be back later when my batteries have been recharged.
