    soappie - your dinners always sound very gourmet! I'm eating spicy mushrooms burgers and spicy wedges with salad!

    I do my best :D Tonight it is roast lamb, roast potatoes, sprouts, carrots and parsnips along with yorkshires (I ALWAYS do HM yorkshires, whatever the roast) and my special leeks in cheese sauce accompanied by mint sauce and home made gravy.
    Well Done on getting your tax return done Soappie...
    When I did our returns on line, there was a bit that I could check what we owed, what we had paid, etc... was that not on yours? might be worth another quick check...

    Nope, nothing yet saying what I owe taking into account last year's payments on account. I'll check again tomorrow.

    But, must fly and do the gravy and then eat!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Hiya Flower - are you still on for 60 items an hour tomorrow - my house is desperate for it! Well done on doing your form.

    No flying today because I was on the course again - fab course but feel totally pooped now! I'll declutter a glass of red and go to bed I think.

    Hugs to all xx

    Maybe the floor tiles would benefit from being lightly scraped, it get residue dirty off first.

    that's enough for a sunday :D
  • Thanks Greenbee, Flylady Flower and Kazwookie - I have been scrapping off the worst bits but worried about damanging them further!
    They arre terracotta, think ceramic... not sure... The only "grout" appears to be cement, think I will take one to a tile shop and ask (it is not connected!) very good idea! Am beginning to feel it might be worth paying to get it done properly - or if possible to so myself I shall devote half term to it! :D

    I know greenbee - its a worry!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
    Mind you I think I would need to ebay about 10-20 per day to clear everything before my special visitors arrive!!!

    Well you'd better get working on it then hadn't you! And I assume you're not going to buy ANYTHING until you've cleared all the clutter...

    welshgirl - flower's covered pretty much everything. The people I got my tiles from http://www.indigenoustiles.com/ recommended Lithofin Cement-Away Cement residue remover -extra strong- after my builder made a mess of the grouting :rolleyes: . It's mostly acid, so use it carefully, and check first that its OK with the type of tile you've got.

    Fridge clean. Tomorrow's lunch made. About to make supper and a pre-yoga snack for tomorrow. List getting shorter :D

    I have batch of yogurt that I made but won't be able to finish up before it starts tasting yeasty... any ideas as to what I can do with it?

    wow too many posts to catch up with and too many fglasses of wine with my dinner

    I have fed the washing machine too many tomes to count and OH and I have managed to relocate the shoe rack upstairs so the wine rack can go under the staoirs. Thinened out the coats hanging up and left them in a heap on the hall floor, hguess I'll have to pick them up now as he's walked bny them too many times and obviously isnt going to.

    Dd hasnt finished her room but then I kenw she wouldnt, does anyone else hav children who's DS games LIVE on the florr so she knows where they are :confused: . have decluttered her to the bath now so not liong til bedtime. NN some strong coffee i think before i get the ioron out

    Am hoping that while I'm on here he's started clearing up the roast dinner stuff although roast potato tin will be decluttered to the bin so thats nice n easy. Wanted to make cake too as I've got the munchies and really dont fancy chocolate, shal I sharnt I :confused: .

    enogh now gotta go so must get in to it on ne thread as this weeks has been an abysmal (do you sppell it like that?) fAILEURE.

    Triker reclaim those charges, I got mine back before the hold on them and with PPI insurance and creedit card charges claimed as well had nearly £10k back in a year.

    Right hopefully see you tomorrow
