    Just going to have a quick fly round before bed.
    thanks boddy - we get on quite well together even if our parents didnt (her mother and my father were brother and sister) - we meet every 2-3 months and have a girly day - she runs an autistic/adhd (sp) unit attached to a mainstream school.
    glad your shift was ok - must have been nice to get outside too.

    I must be getting tired - I misread your last line - I was wondering why and try to imagine (you and angel came to mind) why you were "going to have a quick fly round the bed" !!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Am going to work on the bathroom a bit more then off to bed. Goodnight all

    PS. Is there a list anywhere on this board of recommended stuff to have in your cleaning cupboard? At the moment I have washing up liquid, washing powder, bleach, Cif cream, furniture polish, various cloths, sponges, rubber gloves, cleaning wipes, dusters, kitchen roll, and I think that's about it. In particular is there anything you'd recommend for unblocking drains as mine honk :eek: and the stuff in the shops costs about £4 last time I looked. Thanks


    I don't think so.. but maybe we could do one!!

    Had to look again at that flylady's name - cos there's a place near Clay Cross called Sharley Park! Why did rats remind you of her?

    Shirley Park loves rats, has them as pets in her house :eek::eek: :eek: and has absolutely nothing to do with T'Cross one :p
