Grrrr spent an hour on hold trying to sort out my sister's mortgage (freephone number) and was still in a queue :mad: will try again tomorrow after I have been to Morrisons.

Had a reasonable day otherwise got some washing and drying done, hoovered in the lounge and hall. Did some decluttering in the kitchen although I need to do a load more, but a start has been made. Paired some socks while watching neighbours.

Going to watch holby now.

I used to sell them on ebay! But you can get them in morrisons for a couple of quid I believe. I shall be going there tomorrow for party food for Miss A and can pick some up if you like. PM your address and I'll bung it/them in the post

OMG that is so kind - thank you very much! I will pm you my address, but only if you promise to pm me your paypal address so I can pay for them and the postage - you're not being out of pocket for little me

Thank you so much, I'm really touched someone would do that.

Thank you

I have a sparkling oven interior :beer:

I couldn't get out at lunchtime for the stardrops/baking soda/rubber gloves...but I raided the corner shop moments before DD's bedtime (she was n her pj's ) and came away with baking soda and a Mr M spray. Mr M did the trick on the inside but the glass is now sparking clean with brown spots - looks dirtier than before.... Am trying again with the soda now!

But even if it doesnt come up tonight...is thousands of times better than it was. Thanks for the encouragement flyers! Am off for another sneaky peak at the gleaming bits now!!!:j :T

PS Rubber glove shortage meant I cleaned it with my old gardening gloves wrapped in plastic bags!!!! Kids think I'm crazy!!

Hope you feel better soon boddy - well done to everyone else.

DH has just finished cleaning the kitchen for me and is going to do the upstairs bathroom...yeahhhhh!!!!!

My list for tomorrow -
- clear the floor in our bedroom
- clear the top of the chest of drawers in our bedroom
- study in the morning

AnW'smum - you are such a sweetie (re: the oven things), one of lifes lovely people.

Homespun - well done on the oven!

I've made a decision on the new mortgage and i'm going to phone to start it all off tomorrow. Just need to open a new bank account now as our old mortgage was our also our bank account.

I am going to be careful tomorrow as i'm totally shattered. Hugs to all xx

Muddy's challenge: look around the room you're sitting in. Can you see any cobwebs...dust bunnies...? If you can safetly get rid of them then do so now! If there aren't any then declutter x 5! xx

ETA: Sorry meant to send hugs to Christmasshopper - nightmare and I hope clearing up doesn't take too long and your littlie is ok xx
