1) how do i clean my dw with soda crystals, dm got me some but i don't know what to do with them put generous amount (2or3 cupfuls) into the the base OF DW and some white vinegar - a good splosh and run on the hottest wash (without dishes!)

and

2) did anyone find out what errands emily is doing?!?! it makes me smile and go a little nuts at the same time whenever i see her posts - I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SHE'S DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D Emily's 'errands' are her little bits and bobs, little jobs or whatever you want to call them - phone calls, letters, tidying up - that sort of thing!

lil_me well done getting your first assigment in.

valli how did you get on at the hairdresser - are you pleased with it?

I have just spent HH re-arranging the stars chart as it was far too big to be in a random order - it is now alphabetical! hope thats ok with you all.

Thanks Toots! Much easier to find out own stars now... although I think there's going to be some jealousy what with Piper & Megan getting better stars than the rest of us

I sorta know what you mean there... very intriguing....ETA: Ooooh, thanks Toots - I did wonder. Have you heard how she has settled into her new home? I missed that along the way somehow, I know someone asked the other day but didn't see the answer - hope she's loving it...

Flower - if you want someone to read through your proposal, feel free to email me... anything's better than the request for proposal that I've got on my list for tonight


Crafty - I've just been forcibly upgraded from Office 2003 to 2007 at work and it's driving me nuts... even Outlook is different :rolleyes:

Thanks Greenbee, but she's doing the contract with me and has done loads of these, so will see what furniture/accessories, etc I've left out (if any, it was pretty good, even if I do say so myself... ) also, my wording is a bit 'as I say it' rather than my 'telephone voice writing' IYKWIM - a bit too Essex and she's from Hertfordshire, so much posher than me... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: (not really, she's like a navvy, but is good with words when she has to be... )

I LOVE 2007 - now I've got used to it, it's brill - give it a bit of time, you'll love it... (or am I just a sado that likes to play with tabs and stuff and see what happens... )

I was going to have it done on my left shoulder blade but I'm now thinking about getting it on the top of my left arm instead. I've not got any others - this would be my first I've been wanting one as long as I can remember though (at least :D15 years - I remember designing different ones when I was supposed to be doing my exams when I was in 3rd year seniors :rotfl: )

My DS is into drawing tattoos at the moment - bl00dy great things too, mind you, they stick an needle in him and he'll pass out... :rotfl: can't see it somehow (He's 15 and going through a 'phase' - polite version - he'll see something shiny and forget all about them soon...)
I had a very mild 'mid-life crisis' when I turned 40 - I was a timeshare rep, working with a lot of younger people, I started going out to the pub straight after work with them, getting 'tipsy' most evenings, and basically enjoying myself and leaving hubby at home (complete turn around if you knew what we're like) anyway, point of this is that I had a tattoo then too - a lovely rose on my left sholderblade - HURT LIKE BL00DY HELL when I had it done, but I was no way going to have a black dot on my back so went through with it, it took AGES (or felt like it) and I'm a big woose and will never have another one I can assure you... :rotfl: :rotfl: (but I do love it, sadly)

Hugs Triker - I'd cancel with damages if I were you...

Welcome back Dusty - hope you had a lovely time...

Flying wise, well, I REFUSE to do DS's bedroom tomorrow, but rest assured, he WILL be finishing it as I will stand over him and nag and nag and nag until he has... I will however wash his sheets... :rolleyes:
My study is pretty much done as I've been working on it most of the week, so hopefully tomorrow I will be doing some actual PAID work...

Morning all

Triker - that's why when I buy white goods I buy from stock and take them home straight away!
Welcome home Dusty - glad you had a good time

I am really bunged up this morning and have a barking cough so I'm taking the day off. Though I'm wondering where the world's gone. The fog is so thick this morning I can't see the end of the garden!

I shall potter gently I think in between blowing my nose.
