greenbee

Thanks Lil_me!! I'll make sure I pass it on.

Off to find some food (sweetcorn & tomato soup) and read very boring work paperwork that I need to send comments back on tonight... I'm sure I'll be back later :rolleyes:

Valli please don't laugh...how do I iron a fitted sheet?

Not laughing at all hun! Perfectly reasonable to ask an expert

I fold them into quarters and iron from the middle out and then do the bit that goes over the side out from each corner...See Greenbee - great minds think alike!
hated them and when they worn out got rid!
Dead tidy list that BTW!

Lil_me towel - that was gross... makes me shudder what some people do... mind you I am funny about towels (ducks and laughs as can hear Flyladies the length and breadth of the country say 'no really - Valli funny about towels and laundry') and we all have our own here. When the kiddiwinks got impetigo I didn't catch it ...and when I got it on my face under my nose they didn't get it.

Greenbee thanks for the link - dead professional. Mind you I am funny about payslips (all filed...date order) and I think I'd get twitchy if I didn't have them... I registered school on that thing you PMd me about BTW - thanks for that as I too try very hard to be green.

AnWs mum have spoken to Councillor and it looks like the lorry is too small (under 7 and a half tonnes) and not in contravention of laws but he has suggested I call the firm and tell them it's causing a problem ... I have to be all polite and calm ... I can do polite and calm - but it will have to wait until Thursday when I will have time.

Hi all

I've done hardly any flying this weekend:o , i have however climbed up a really massive hill:eek: and i did it without moaning:rolleyes: . It was really steep in places too i usually moan like hell when OH suggests a walk.

I also got rather drunk on Friday night at a friends party and ended up being sick and passing out.:o I hardly ever drink as i'm such a lightweight, but me and OH had had a row earlier and were barely speaking so i thought i'd get drunk. I drank a bottle of wine really quickly then realised what i'd done and tried to stop it. I had 3 cups of coffee and a pint and a half of water but it was too late. I feel so ashamed:o

Anyway i'm in

Defrost the freezer.. clean it out and make use of those things which need using!
Extra Mission : help yourself

1. clean the fridge..
2. Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
3. Empty the bin.. wash it out.. and make it smell SWEET

My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is.............. to eat at the table at least twice a day we've got a lovely dining room that is barely used.

Nearly forgot, my MACAW is to get poppy puppy house trained.

Hi all, I'm in again this week please - can't believe it's only 9pm and already 3+ pages of the new thread!

Didn't fly much in the house today but have:
finished the pavlova for church bring and share lunch
gone to church!
gardened and cut the lawn - looks much better now - saved morning glory seed for next year - waiting for purple sweet peas to ripen, picked tomatoes
made bramble jelly from berries picked yesterday - ours were good I know some folk were complaining recently about how small and tart they were
put roast in and did veg; made pineapple pud; made choc and cherry loaf for packups; sat down with a cuppa!!lol!!
Sorted clothes for the morning; will do packups in a while.
Well that's all for tonight - have a good day tomorrow - will catch up with some of the posts tomorrow evening :T

oops forgot to say our macaws for the week are: DD to open curtains and switch off night light when she gets up; DS open curtains and make bed in the mornings; me: take off my make up before bed every day - bit naugthy some nights when I'm cream crackered!
Kids are loving the challenge especially DD who is only 7! And since I changed mine las to Monday to putting down the loo lid, I've not lost anything else down the pan!! Twice in a week was just too much - my make up is just on the sill behind and I cna't afford to keep replacing it!! LOL!!

sexymouse

I'm in again this week between gyming and supplying. My Mum wants to go swimming tomorrow evening, so I'll be going then too. Have just washed the towels etc from today. lol

Forgot to say - congratulations mudbath - give poppy a hug from me.
