    Tag did a search and found this Not exactly what your looking for but pretty close I thought. Maybe it'll help...I dont have a DW myself but I use about 100g in WM without problems-but then I suppose the closing mechs are different.

    Okay DH is now home so I've shared his chips with him!

    In my HHC I:

    Fed and watered the dogs
    Cleared the floor in the hall
    Half-cleared the floor in the LR
    Sorted out a bag of recycling

    It's a start I suppose!

    Evening all :hello:

    Not much in the way of flying here today as I'm doing some overtime on Friday so I can help finish off the models I've been making with an artist and the year 6 kids. We're plastering them today and tomorrow (the same stuff they use on broken bones apparently) and then in theory on Friday they're painting them so I want to be there for that :D Only one problem though - I have to go in in fancy dress (I'll take a change of clothes with me ;) ) as my favourite character from a book to celebrate National Book Week. :eek: Having not done fancy dress (and it having to be applicable to kids, otherwise I would have just gone in and said I was the demented housewife from the book "Secret diary of a demented housewife" :rotfl::rotfl: ) I'm going for a character from Harry Potter, Bellatrix LeStrange to be exact :D Thankfully I can do most of it without a problem from my collection of goth-like clothing, so I'm going to sit and watch the scenes from "Order of the phoenix" that she's in so I can get an idea of anything else I need to do. Only problem is going to be doing the darkmark tattoo (I love black biros ;) ) and hair.... :confused: I'm wondering whether Asda might have a wig I can use :confused:

    Anyways, I've got some granary baps in the oven, and I'm going to collapse now as I'm exhausted. I'll try and catch up properly at some point... :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
