    Evening flyladies (and gents)

    Just finished sorting WM/DW etc, done a load of accounts, went to B&Q today and got all the decorating stuff (£60 saved thanks greenbee!!) which will hopefully be started next week.

    Anyone else think it's wine o'clock?
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Soappie - my football obsessed husband would like to know where the fourth most valuable property area in the world is, and who the well known football personality is. He keeps trying to guess and it's driving me mad!

    Depending on how long you want to keep him in suspense, you might like to hide the following links:

    ..... AAArghhh - on second thoughts, I'll not post the links publically, I'll PM you them. Have had sudden visions of the NotW or some such rag doing an article about it!

    For sure!

    We are list planning and deciding what can be Ebayed and what is for Freecycle or charity shopping. With more than a little help from Mr Laithwaite!!

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Mum on a mission - you get Muddy's challenge of the day gold star sticker. Of course, if you'd like to collect more I supply the most wonderful sticker books at only £19.99. Just make your cheque payable to R.Ipoff:rotfl: :rotfl:

    On a flying front - i've taken the stamens out of all my open lillies so they don't stain the floor / people / dog! I was wondering what the brown marks were around Stripe's muzzle then I saw her smelling the lillies.

    I'm going to s/s the kitchen now....anyone joining me? xx

    OH YES!!!!

    WM+TD unloaded and reloaded, wash basket empty, ironing pile growing:o

    Well survived first day back at work - have managed to wangle using remaining leave to reduce working week to 4 days a week for February and most of March so that should help.

    Feel shattered now - have cooked tea but only baked spuds, posh sausage from butcher and gravy - thats it no veg at all - how bad a mother am I - oh just thought do the herbs in the sausages count as a portion of greens!

    Will try and wash up later but need to rest now - have huge list for tomorrow. Did manage to move towels from wm to td and de-poop the litter tray this morning before work.

    Dont think I will get rest of list done tonight - oh hum

    Mof77 - hugs for your daughter and also you - my DS had really bad eczema when he was little and we went through so many wm's as they cannot cope with the creams (rots the insides). He is now 18 and mostly fine (had Chinese medicine at age of 2 and head to toe eczema was gone in 5 days) - may not suit everyone but certainly worked for him. Think it can be almost as stressful as a Mum to have to put cream your child on as you know that it stings even though it will help.

    well I've now done todays level one. the s&s of the bathrooms took ages as they were in a pretty poor state.
    I am feeling quite pleased that I've managed to stick to it this week - I had been looking at this forum for weeks but it all looked so exhausting I couldn't face joining but the house does look better already.

    Do we get the weekends off or will there be jobs for saturday & sunday?

    By the way ladies if I ever get over enthusiastic and say I'm aiming to do level 2 tell me I'm not allowed to as there is no way I would keep it up..

    :rotfl: Apparently thats good for reducing bags under the eyes:) all the top models use it!!!!!!:eek:
    Yeah I know!;) But the smell gives it away!:rolleyes: Now how do I know that:o
    Can we chat a bit now? Purlease?
    Have made my bed - done the ironing;) sheets and white shirts....
    ooh help - DS has a school shirt that is foul -looks like dried in ground in mud...washed in bio twice without success - am now desperate to get it clean - it looks awful. Any tips? If not I shall wet it and vanish bar it ...but I am thinking bleach which I have never used on clothes - well, not deliberately LOL
    and I have done my my hated hated hated job - drying pots and putting them away:confused: think by the time I have cooked, served, eaten and washed upI have had enough.
    Going to check the forecast - because if it is going to rain I have to put washing in the TD to dry on E7 like a good little moneysaver...so I have to go to the shed. On the plus side at least I don't have to have a window open...
    Sorting paperwork out - but less to do (3 piles, all hidden in hotspot hell aka dining room)

    Rosepink - if it's where I am thinking of there is a football dynasty connected, a girl group...and it is beautiful down there...am I right Soappie? Was going to put it on the thread but I don't know why she's asking...
    Glad you have a diagnosis even if it wasn't mine...I'm a girl - what do I know?:rotfl:

    Looks like sunny spells tomorrow ... so no TD!
