    How about doing it NOW???

    Well I'll go and power up the big computer which is attached to the printer and have a look.

    Alao going to stare at the bathroom which has been bugging me all week, it's filthy and crammed.

    Anyone any ideas where to put my stockpile of loo rolls?

    I normally do the kitchen on Mondays, but as I've got a few things on tomorrow I decided to do it today and it's all nice now. Unfortunately I've got to do a roast dinner later so that won't help but it shouldn't take long to S&S it round.

    DH still painting.....

    Get yourself some soda crystals and vinegar (and any dirty cleaning cloths while you're at it!). Put the cloths in the drum. A couple of scoops of soda crystals in the detergent dispenser, and vinegar in the softener dispenser (about the same amount as you'd use of fabric conditioner), and put it on the hottest wash the machine will do (mines 90 degrees) on the longest cycle (usually a cotton one).

    Hopefully that will clean out the mould where the drawer goes as well as any other gunk in the machine! As a general rule, soda crystals get rid of grease, vinegar gets rid of limescale.

    :o:o:o No soda crystals or vinegar (except brown) in the house...how un flylady of me...I ahve an abundance of flash multipurpose though...does that make me a bad person! :o;)

    Triker have you printed the form and completed it yet??

    Hi Gang

    Back from church/Sunday school and dropping in on my mates. Just decluttered lunch, about to do homework with A & W and then doing more of my tax return. I also need to speak to WTC/CTC peeps to give year end figures so they can finalise payments. Should have done both of these tasks ages ago so I am not on the last leg. Seems Triker we have the same tendancies!

    Had a very nice Thai meal then off to the pub where the four of us got chatting to two blokes working here on business - the Geordie 'very kindly' offered to show me what I have been missing since I have been single ... but I declined his kind - but repeated and increasingly desperate - offer - so no doubt Mrs Geordie would have been pleased. (Mind you I dragged one of my mates to the toilet to tell her what he was saying and to keep an eye on me because I was [strike]really hammered [/strike] a bit tipsy and I wanted her to know I wasn't interested and to remind me I wasn't if I started to cave in :rolleyes:)
    His Welsh mate wore two wedding rings as his first wife had died in his arms at 36 of MS which we all thought a lovely story.
    Oh - and I lost an earring but still have my dignity! I never even found out Geordie's name - :rotfl:
