    Right, you lot are all on it so I can't decide what to comment on...So I'll just say "Hello Mozzy" sorry I missed you earlier.
    Flylady meet Thats the week end DF is in Edinburgh again for work function, so I'll have to give it a miss:( So since I've been telling you all for months that Im expecting you to keep me company, I think you can make it up to me by giving me your favorite tv stuff so I can set up to record a bunch of stuff to watch.
    Also must ask poohbear wedding invitations?

    TD man was here today and says the motor is bent, so he has ordered parts and I will be sans TD for at least another week:mad:

    :j Ooo Oooh Did I tell you all my hob rings are silver and gold?....:doh:thats right I didn't! Because I DIDN'T KNOW!!!
    I left them in neat stardrops for most of the day today and then spent about an hour (and four scouring pads) scrubbing them. But my hob is now sparkly as you said it would be Toots:j

    Right, let me go find my list (I even pulled out the sofa and scrubbed the floor beneath it aswell as the skirtings (more yuck)
