    Help!!!

    DS has gotten lots of paint onto a dining room chair - washed off painted bit - any ideas for the upholstered seat??

    Grrhh

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    ooh I know this!!

    Turpentine or whatever you use to clean brushes is fine unless it is a plastic seat.. in which case it will melt it!

    Is it not just water based paint though and will sponge off with a wet cloth.. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRUMSTANCES RUB IT!

    Told DD she could have 10 mins on the wii, 5 for putting the hoover round and 5 for taking the shopping she could manage out of the car and into the house!!!(different child today), think some one said yesterday she was looking for the attention so maybe she needs bigger jobs to do now to be seen as getting older???????

    julliff ((big hugs with a gentle kick up the bum for you)) it's easy to get into what I call 'slumps' when these things happen. It's no great help but maybe a small comfort that there are very many in the same situation at the moment. Fingers firmly crossed that something comes up soon for you both.
    pigpen - everything crossed! I think if I had so many I'd be excited about getting them all off to school too
    SarahS, just an idea, you could boil water in a pan (I know it looks murky) to get bugs out and use to clean the SC...as for the ex he can have a grrrr from me too. I'd grab some legal advice on the ex.
    mummyyof5 well done to your Megan, oh I was such an untidy teenager and a horder too so I know how gastly room tidying/decluttering can be but I bet she has loads of space now, 6 bags, wow!!
    funfairprincess I was the same when both boys went, in fact DS2s first day at nursery I cried then picked him up about an hour early as I missed him, made a pathetic excuse :o they even could tell I was fibbing. He did full time nursery from 3 1/2 same as DS1 so school thing was a bit easier. I love having them off school, I just hate morning mayhem!
    toochoosey well done on finding the remote, mines still missing....

    Well I did ok, bit longer than half an hour LR done - box filled with OU stuff, basket filled with games (I actually really like them now, I'd resisted for ages as they are expensive but they do look nice, better than a games/DVD rack) floor swept (will deeper clean when boys in bed!) then did bathroom which was a general scrub of loo/sink/bath and a tidy up, many empties flingered. Desk area in my room decluttered, small desk now so not much room for clutter on it which is a plus. I've got the steak casserole/stew for dinner on low (was originally a SC batch cook) will make some dumpldinks to chuck in there, need to do the spuds then dinner is prepared :D I took the towels in off the line I forgot I'd put out and popped them in the TD to finish them off, put another load in WM and gathered another from upstairs - it's definately breeding this week! I've also filled the DW and got that going.

    So toots can I please have the LR and bathroom/study star, I've not managed the master bedroom yet to level 3 unfortunately....Oh and toots THANK YOU for my little hookie things, I actually needed both as another snapped last week, you're a star!!! I'd not managed to find any yet, my bras (being in a 'special' size) are so expensive, £30 ish usually, I can't afford to just fling them.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
