"This time next year, Rodney" Hypno's latest instalment

They are just trying to see if we have noticed the difference!

Kitchen done - apart from washing the floor - no point in doing that until everyone has stopped going in and out for the day.

OH has done a load of shredding......so in theory there should be a pile gone, but I can't say I notice a great deal of difference as yet - isn't it strange how paperwork somehow seems to travel into any empty space and refill it

or is that just in my house!

Hiya! A moment ago, the box to type in was literally an inch or so wide, and now its gone back to how it was..... its going to be an odd day, isn't it :money: very happy to be back tho.

Well done on the kitchen, hypno - but I know what you mean about shredding. I've been shredding on and off for days (my machine requests that you use it 2 minutes out of 20.... ) and I have a binbag *full* of shredded stuff, tightly packed now. But the bag it came from was an ordinary supermarket bag, and thats only just started to look a little bit less full. Very odd. It probably drifts in from another dimension, dontcha know

hypno06

Yup, either that or it shoots off fast growing spores

My house is slowly getting somewhere.....yet to tackle the ironing though.....I may do some this evening (or I may not!) :rolleyes:

I would quite like to leave it nice before I go on holiday - then OH can just keep on top of it while I am away.

Well I've not done my de-cluttering. I've sort ten boxes of books to go to the EACH shop thats just opened near to us. Have a pile of stuff for DH to take to the dump tomorrow and have bagged a lot of newspapers etc for recycling.:j:j

Rocky and Babs ( our chickens - DD didn;t call them Korma and Kiev in the end :rotfl::rotfl:) have both started laying eggs now .............. mmmmmmmmmmmm.. The are delicious.

Nothing much else to report. Have a long list of things to do but having worked a wedding last night I'm now really stiff as I was begind the bar for 5 hours without a break. Still think of the dosh !!!

Hope you have all had a good weekend

hypno06

On the contrary, surfbabe, it seems as though you have done some worthwhile decluttering - charity boxes, newspapers for recycling, and DH to the dump

Fresh eggs.....yum.

Flat is tidy, shopping done, shredding done...I've done everything bar the ironing so that's this evening sorted!:rolleyes:

I think I'm officially addicted to MSE.:o

if you waved it under mine I'd do it for you Bob! I've often thought of setting up some sort of ironing business, I can't say I love it but don't mind it - now hoovering on the other hand...

It's ok Skinty , i like ironing but do find Mr.B's million and one work shirts boring to iron..he doesn't even have the decency to get the company to supply ones that drop creases after putting them in drier. They are thick cotton and murderous.

I am sure Hypno will let you iron though.

**gets fiver ready for skint_spice**

My DD did hoover downstairs today, and DS has done some bits and pieces for me too.....OH generally irons his own work shirts, so all in all not too bad I suppose.

As for the rest of the housework/ironing mountain......well, sometimes we have to be able to compromise a bit......or a lot!!
