Rach - hugs that was always me at work, no wonder I never got far and changed jobs every couple of years. I have to keep a rein on myself when invigilating and have realised that usually there is no point in me saying anything, wish I'd have been as wise as you at your age.

COLOR=green]15 minutes floordrobe clearance Mines more of a TVrobe...I daren't put them on the floor as they'd end up full of spiders! [/color][/SIZE

this was quoted from nicki, sorry i deleted too much, like the cut and paste havent got to grips with quoting either, sorry nicki (and toots, my techie teacher, see you have to stay

oohh didn't think of that, should have really. When we are down the caravan, i use a black bag for washing and if we are down there for a while, then we go to the laundrette, but for a few days or a week, i bring it home - anyway - last year i brought a bag of washing home and emptied onto the kitchen floor to sort through - and 2 big spiders were there with all the clothes - well i couldnt see where they went so i was stuck between the back door and the living room door - i needed to know where they were before i could move - i phoned my mother and she refused to leave work to deal with them , i couldnt ask my step father - our underwear for a few days so i had to stay there for 30 mins till the living room door was clear and i could get out!!!! these days DD(5) helps with spi..... and slugs

Evening all,

Toots i agree with everyone else i can't see how you could have offended anyone please don't change or stop posting i always enjoy reading your posts.

I've had another eventful afternoon:rolleyes: . I put some stuff in the BM earlier to make pizza dough, it did it's stuff then beeped, i went to take it out and it was still the same as when i put it in. I hadn't put the paddle in:o . i tried to rescue it by mixing then kneading then leaving to rise, but it was no good. So, i thought i'd make pizzas out of some pitta bread i had in the freezer. The microwave is broken so i couldn't use that to defrost them so i decided to put them in the toaster. I put them in and pushed the button down and it wouldn't work.:mad: We had egg, chips and beans instead:rolleyes:

So thats a new microwave and toaster i have to buy now.

I'm going to find my list then i'll be back to update.

Hugs toots and seeing as you asked i'll give an update though it's difficult for me as I don't normally like to chat about her. Actually, there is a flylady question in here too!

Spotty dotty pretty doggy puppy poppy (or Poppy for short) has had a troubled day. We were out walking and then this wet stuff fell from the sky and she didn't know what it was. She just sat there and wouldn't move looking up at the sky. Bless her! Of course, all the rain has put our back garden under water so she won't go out there for her wees etc and she won't do them on a walk either. By lunch time I was worried so stood with her (in the pouring rain!) at the side of the house for 40 minutes. Of course, she decides to go when i'm finally through to the tiscali service people who i'd been on hold to for half an hour. I had to tell her she was a good girl for going and think I made the service engineers day...he was in stitches! This brings me to my question....she's decided she'll poop etc on the path at the side of the house. This is the path my client's use. I'm cleaning it up immediately and hosing the area down. Should I disinfect too and if so how often?

Did I tell you she does a good impression of the hairy character in star wars...? :rotfl:

Dustykitten

Soappie say hi to you all and sends her love, she is fine just really busy right now.
