Well done Homespun - pic?

D'you know, I actually thought about doing that, I am so proud of it! I still might if I can find the camera tomorrow (CSI now - I have earned this hour off!)

Only a fortnight - I told the children I was never using the oven again! :rotfl:

ETA AnWsMum could drop 'em off on her way to Skeggy!

She definitely could and is most welcome to - you'll have to let me know which way you're coming from as I could well be on the way (what with the roads round here like they are!) You could stop off for a cuppa and some cake

There are loads of kind folk on this thread - that's why we love it here so much!

I'm learning that. Everyone has been so kind and welcoming I feel like I've been here forever and it was only 2 days ago I found you all :rotfl:

I have a sparkling oven interior :beer:

:T:T Well done - you have all my respect! Going to work on the interior tomorrow, but mine isn't nearly as bad as the door was.

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.

I keep going to the kitchen and switching my oven on so I can see the light through the sparkly door :rolleyes::o

Right off to [strike]ogle Warwick(for now), Nick and Grissom[/strike] watch CSI

Mudbath, say thanks to your DH for me for his diagnosis and well done on a decision on your mortgage and for the superb delegation of chores to DH! Make sure you're careful. And as for the look around for the cobwebs, I've had a crumpled one hanging from my bedroom ceiling for the last few days. I refuse to remove it. After all - it's somethings' HOME - how can you demolish that?
Pigpen - thanks to you too re the damp - I'm beginning to realise I will need to get a man in for this. And don't fret, there's no electric sockets on that wall! And, I didn't realise there may be issues with a leaky UPVC - as coroborated by Valli....
And Valli - there's no paint flaking off - not yet! And I'm 99.99999% certain I would have noticed a patch that damp when I washed down the walls when I got the new futon (what - a couple of weeks ago? After Christmas and before New Year anyway!) so it's quite sudden.
HomeSpun - well done on your oven door!
OddJob - platonic hugs - the housework will still be there for you to fly with tomorrow!
Boddy - thanks - hope your sneezing etc. sorts itself out real soon! Meant to say earlier in the week - thanks for the report on your retirement plans - you need to make sure your Manager keeps on top of things! What are your shifts this week?

OK, what have I achieved this evening? Not too bad at all. Given I've been persuing the damp subject as well! Just about to get my dinner out - cauliflower cheese tonight and flop in front of the TV for a short while then sleeeeepppp

I also put the carrier bag holder back up, put my new pjs in the cupboard for when i fit into them, reshelved a couple of books and prepped my porridge.

there's not really a chance of me getting any more done tonight, and have deleted what I'm not doing. am just going to do my 30 mins on the wiifit and then we'll be watching the pickwick papers which we've got from lovefilm at the moment.

soappie - hope the damp gets sorted
AnW's mum - I might be asking for the same favour if I can't get hold of one this weekend - thought I might have a bus ride to wilkos so they might have one

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 try not to use Paypal as they thieving so and so's slap loads of charges on, let me know how many you want, your address and I'll sort it. You can just credit my account either online or next time you pass a branch. I'll PM the details back

A cuppa and cakes sounds like a great idea Valli and I could have a day out with you.

OK ATTENTION PLEASE

I shall pick up several of these tomorrow (assuming they have got them and assuming they are about £2!) so all those who want one or more let me know and I'll 'sort it' can always get some more next week if people are not desperate for them.

Justamum

Didn't feel like doing much today on the flying front

However the place isn't looking too bad. I've been getting back into the habit of drying and putting away the dishes at night so at least I can wipe down the draining board. If I leave them to drain it tends to turn into a conveyor belt of stuff which is never completely cleared away, and the draining board looks really mucky then.

Swept and mopped the kitchen floor after dinner, then decided to mop the hallway and porch too - shame to only use all that hot water on one floor :rotfl:

Just quickly tidied round the lounge then I'm going to bed - but not before doing a quick S&S in the bathroom. I really think I've got the hang of this flying lark - at long last :rotfl:

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

Thank you Mudbath. On the bright side, DD is feeling much better now she has puked. And I've been forced to make a start on tomorrow's Master Bedroom jobs. The bedding is in the WM. I've patch cleaned the carpet. The duvet is soaking in the bath, and the clothes Mr CS left on the floor have now been puked on so I'm not in any doubt about whether they are clean or dirty. They have been put in a bucket ready to go in the WM when the bedding comes out. I only need to hoover and dust and put the bedding on when it is dry and tomorrow's jobs will be done.

froddington

kazwookie - hugs and prayers for you and your dad

Chritsmasshopper - wow, that's nice of your neighbour! Hugs for you and DD

Dusty - errrmmm - I have the photos (but still on the camera!!) and ooh, 1911 census .......... must resist ..........
ZLS - well done on setting up the BG agreement :T and on completing the list

mudbath - huge hugs for you and cat; 'special' cats need special people to look after them - that's why you've been sent them

twinmummy - I do Rainbows too

OrkneyStar - all the best for you and DS - hopefully we'll 'see' you around on here
Tilli-tot - well done on the cooker :T
pigpen - that's lovely to offer to do that :T and you AnW
HomeSpun - yay! Well done :T

Washing up now done and binbags ready to go out in the morning.

Spose I should look at tomorrow's list ........

pigpen

Well.. hubby has left me home alone AGAIN!! and the only thing I have cleaned today is my glasses... actually I'll go load the TD in a sec...

ooh... loo.. brb...

pigpen

ok.. yelled at the boys.. they are having power cables confiscated until they can go to sleep like sensible people and have their room tidied.. it is gross up there and I am simply not having it!!

I have also decided (about 15 seconds ago) we are going to go minimalist... everything is going.. I've had enough.. too much of everything is crippling me, I cannot keep this hovel tidy on my own so if it on the floor and it isn't meant to be we obviously don't need it do we?

First room to be gutted will be.. my bedroom.. it is hideous up there and I can hardly make the children tidy when mine is a skip so room #1 .. my room... shall be started Thursday.. (I'm a college tomorrow) and will be done over the weekend and I WILL have a shelf emptied and I will have rid of the 2 little bedside units and I WILL get rid of the carpet.. if it kills me that thing is going.

Now I have decreed this is what I am going to do I want you all to nag me until I show you photographs to show you it is spotless!!

Before I go to my nest tonight I need to do the following..

uniforms
TD
DW
Prep. stuff for SC
feed cats.. argh.. cat food.. text hubby as I have none..

Oh.. podiatry are sending Tiddles some new insoles as hers have squashed almost flat and are pretty much useless so they are sending the good ones out for her like Moomin has which cost 4 times as much but are so much better!
