    Did ALL that - now have cat's empty food container, a margarine tub (both to be recycled) and cat's dish soaking in sink. Fetched a bit more dried washing in and ironed that, too

    UPDATE

    Plan
    [STRIKE]Clean out fridge[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Put shopping away[/STRIKE]

    [STRIKE]Sort washing[/STRIKE]
    Load WM and TD - both done twice now
    HHC in kids rooms - challenging
    Lunch
    HHC in our room (when OH gets up he's on nights again)
    Update finances/spends on computer
    Catch up on anything else


    Having a break and a cuppa as ready to throttle DD in her room :mad: . She will quite happily let me do the lot while she prats about, and now she's thrown a strop because I've abandoned her, and she wants a friend round tomorrow who can only come if her rooms clean. Now she's stopped for a sandwich :rolleyes: .

    OH just got up and I think he's gone down the allotment to get potatoes and escape the atmosphere (and thats after I took 4 Kalms at once)

    Well if she's having food best I get something as well.

    bumbles away muttering something about crisps .......
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!
  • Ok panic over - let the iron cool and managed to pick off most of the melted material and then used an iron cleaning cloth I found under the sink when tidying up last week (thanks to the flying!1) and its all sparkly again ready for a HHI!!
    have now cleaned all the windows and front door glass and the 3 large mirrors

    toots xx

    and dusted the bedroom, lightshade and curtain track!!
    Peace will be mine

    Try heating iron up and wiping off with water on a bit of old towel/tea towel if there's a lot.
    Let it cool - try WD40, nail polish remover (both of these are flammable!) on cloth or wipe with water and Cif cream (or similar) - depends on your soleplate. Forget it!

    Well I was meant to be doing the bedroom, but kept on seeing other areas that needed decluttering - I've just thrown out a couple of my old bags that couldn't be taken to a charity shop as they were past it, and discovered lots of packs of mints and all sorts of other things I didn't know I had, including a nice nail file set that I've looked for for ages.file.gif
