  • Hi everyone, I am officially naughty...I have not done anything the whole time LO was asleep. Oh dear. Think I'll have to catch up tonight. Kitchen was mopped on Sunday night though so think I'll just give it a quick tidy after tea tonight.

    Ohh, and Pigpen, happy belated birthday to your littly too for yesterday.... February 2002 was obviously a good month!!! :)

    It was!!! (my DD is 6 on Sunday)!

    Well that was a pretty good start - :coffee: all round then I'm doing a HHI from 2.30-3

    I'd rather be watching CSI!

  • At work at present, but I did clear up the kitchen before I left this morning :D
    I'll be able to cach up with this lot when we get home tonight.....the doors and drawer units that I painted yesterday are dry enough now to put back, so my dining room and hall will be returned to some sort of normality (then I can clean 'em LOL) Excellent list for today, honey.......almost as if you knew I'd be putting the kitchen back to rights ;)

    By the way, does anyone have any advice re: choice of laminate worktops? I really like the shiny granite-look finish but I've been told it scratches really easily. All advice gratefully received!!!
