OOh I have just told a poster off on another thread - for criticising punctuation and grammar!
Might go back and change grammar to grammer and see what happens:rotfl:

wheres your grammer?
in the kitchen with me grandad, and all that. For the record I can spell and everything. I just can't type. Sent a shocker of a PM to Dusty Kitten the other day, I think faster than I type.
Pigpen - one for the cleaning spreadsheet - Tesco Foam Car Upholstery cleaner is worth every penny of £2, and I will buy it again. Both cars smell much better but I need to go to a garage with a decent vacuum as the dyson is not cutting the mustard in the Landrover - it wont suck up straw.
If anyone with an Electrolux wants a spare filter thingy and a turbo attachment please let me know. I got so fed up of waiting for the spare parts for my electrolux (under warranty) that I bought a new dyson, and a henry (for post construction cleans), and a vax carpet washer. Really want a Miele cat and dog and a Bissel deep heat though. Can we start a new society for the appreciation of sucky cleany machines instead of boring pegs?
Tonight I must empty DW, sort school stuff, and clear the kitchen table so that I can do HHI.

Hurrah!
Ceiling finished, shoulders screaming at me, neck complaining and grumbling but it's done. And drying very, very quickly. It's getting extremely windy outside so I've opening up the top windows on the east and west wall and there's a veritable jet stream up there! Just as well it's actually quite mild. I just need to do one small strip in the middle tomorrow evening and it's ready for the new light fitting.
The tray, roller and brush are currently soaking in the sink and I'm acting like an old soak and having an early, but well earned G&T :beer:. I'm allowing myself five minutes sit down before I go and clean the paint stuff and stick the beef in the oven for dinner.I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Well that worked, you will probably think 'wow that is strange' but DPs just been helping with the conservatory! I asked him to go in and instruct the kids on what they needed to do to help so he joined in
worked, must remember to use that one again. He's pulled one sofa out, moved stuff, vacuumed under it, cleaned the dyson out properly (after my half hearted attempt late last night which probably made it worse because I snipped stuff off the roller, didn't remove it so was flapping everywhere) and binned some junk. Now just the other half left to do and the windows to do properly, have put the dehumidifier back in there because it feels damp again. It was nice when he was helping as DS2 was helping him then DS1 came to help me make sandwiches for packed lunches.
Dinner made and eaten (early as he's gone to work to make up for a missed shift) washer load on the airers, DS2s shorts/top on radiator (forgot to wash them) another load in just spinning, not going too bad at all.
Tonights list
pack ups to finish
pe kits to locate and pack
DS1 reading
wash load onto airers
sort boxes of junk DP has filled
find somewhere for paper box
another washer load in
bath kids, do nails aswell (you'll no doubt hear them squeal!)One day I might be more organised...........
