Flying is on hold, DARTS!

I have never been interested in darts (or understood them), but I caught the final while changing channels and ended up having to watch till the end. It was so exciting and I loved the way they spoke about each other in the interview afterwards.

Hi please count me in this week.
Have been looking at this thread for a while but it all looks so exhausting. Nearly joined last week but didnt & didnt do much housework either! Now realise that since very little housework has been done since Christmas I desparately need an incentive so I will start with level 1 & see how I get on.
The only thing that I am ever organised with is keeping the washing up to date & everybodys shoes clean as I've always loved cleaning shoes

WELCOME TO THE THREAD MLILLIEJO!
Hope you have a good time!:T :j

Toots - you were going to go to bed an hour ago! At this rate I'll be in bed before you :rotfl:

Homespun - I don't use stardrops, but I can tell you that it took me a couple of months to get my oven clean. I just took a layer or two of dirt off each week! I gave it another blitz at NY with soda crystals to cut through the grease, and put the big baking sheet, grill pans and roasting pans that live in it through the DW, as well as scrubbing the shelves. The only bit I haven't done really thoroughly is the little bottom oven, as its too fiddly (although I have taken the grill out and cleaned it! If you do it little and often it'll get clean and stay clean

Happy vibes to everyone for the new week... have an early night (so there isn't so much to catch up on in the morning ), and relax ready for tomorrow!

Thanks for the list pigpen :T

It's old fashioned cleaning fluid stuff. I bought some in Morrisons about 2 years ago (and still have 3/4 a bottle left as I couldn't get on with it ). It's supposed to be super-duper with bells on cleaning. It's bright yellow and has a cartoon drop on the front :rotfl:

Another breadmaker question...I've got a Morphy Richards (which I haven't used for ages). The instructions say to use 7/8 cup of flour - I've lost the bl00dy cup . Anybody know what the equivalent weights are, please?

Will be back to post for tomorrow...

i have a MR fast bake and a cup is 8oz hth

I couldn't find the christmas trees!!!! But these kinda represent my day and I hoped they'd stand out enough for pigpen et al to notice I'm here!! First date today...and he took me to a chocolatiers for coffee...gained lots of brownie points in doing so!

As declared when I nipped in last week to pick your brains would love to join in this week. Am cheating a little as blitzed my flat last week to impress estate agents...but its amazing how many places I found to cram stuff out of sight... so my extra challenge this week is to tackle one of those random corners, and to demolish the huge stack of photos I have. DD is seven now and there are still (cringe) lots of excess baby pics to sort out!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone got any lovely ideas for all those pics that don't make it into the albums?

:xmastree: :xmastree: :xmastree: just so pigpen notices!

I shall be off to bed soon, just waiting for the TD to finish. I forgot to load it earlier and was too darn lazy to drape everything on radiators!

Thanks greenbee, glad it's not just me lol. I do throw the shelves in the DW every now and again and they come up lovely and silver (although once I left it so long I forgot they were supposed to be silver and was most confused when they came out shining :rotfl:), but I hate doing the door so I leave it and it gets worse and worse, it's my own little vicious cycle :rolleyes:

Would I dissolve the SC in piping hot water (quite a strength I should imagine) and scrub with that?
