I think, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that extras are extra, and you don't have to do them to get a star. Is that right?

wow - pretty good start to this week! The fridge is well under control at the moment I'm pleased to say, the only thing in there that "needs" using is a savoy cabbage but that will go into a stir-fry later in the week to use up some of yesterdays HUGE piece of pork.

ETA means edited to add!! (on here anyway - but you are right too)
binbag dance - grab a bin bag and go round the house and put anything in thats rubbish and then fling it all in the wheelie!

ebay or charity - depends on whether or not you want to make money for yourself or you are happy to donate it - and whether or not you have the time or the inclinantion to do ebay!

Casleigh, you have been doing so great today! Well done, that's so great!

And well done to all newbies and everyone else! :j :T :beer: :kisses3: :dance: :grouphug: :hello:

Pigpen, that's so nice that you might have GF and Jacob move in with you. Make sure she fills in all the forms to go on the housing register as there will be times when you drive each other mad and knowing she is climbing up the list to get her own place will help to keep you both sane! It sounds like you are being so supportive to her, that's wonderful.
Does anyone want or know anyone who wants a brand new never used loo brush? We got two when we got married (how do you write a thank you card for that?) and one is still in it's gift bag. I found it again when I got the hoover out. We had a loo brush and a loo roll holder from an elderly couple we know, which was so kind, but I was a bit stuck as to what to put in the thank you card. I was tempted to say: "thanks so much for the useful gifts you gave us. They came in very useful when DH had his tummy bug when we got home from honeymoon" but I resisted!:cool:

evening all

have quickly caught up with the thread and now need to summon the energy to get the kitchen done, shouldn't take too long but I'll need to wash up first. Good day but tiring -walk this morning and I had a meeting in Whitechapel of all places (I haven't been watching that prog but it's one of the areas in the east end i work in!)ETA does mean 'edited to add'

welcome to all the newbies.

pigpen - posted your little parcel this am 1st class so you should get tomorrow fingers crossed.

Ooh 'eck, there's tons to catch up on, must be all the half termers, sadly working all week but got friday off.:T

So far,

WM x 1

More towels folded and put away.

Dirty washing moved from bathroom floor to washing basket.

Cat fed.

Going to catch up and make tea, see you all later.:D

Table cleared and wiped... I think that also counts as a binbag dance as there were cake crumbs from last week's baking session, recipes that need filing (now in a neat pile), junk mail, receipts, post for filing etc there. Everything is now in the appropriate place for being dealt with.

Have also hoovered throughout downstairs, but will leave mopping the floor until tomorrow so it can dry while I am out.

Just catching up with a glass of wine (will deal with some work emails too). Will then eat and do the ironing ...

casleigh - re the oven. Have you tried scraping it off with a wooden spatula? Try to get the worst of it off, then just wipe it with a cloth every time you walk past the oven. Eventually it will be gone! Don't try to get it perfectly clean first time. It's probably worth you investing in some oven liners too... I think AnW's mum located some recently so can probably point you in the right direction.

hex - I'm jealous of your time in the garden. Mine needs serious attention!

Ahhhh, didn't think of that... :rolleyes:
Hex, I'm jealous too, I really want a greenhouse...

The FC has chucked a wobbly and said noone (inc DS) is allowed to go round to her house because she can't cope.. apparently she was screaming and shouting and upset Jacob.. I may get DS's room sorted and she can live here and he can stay at my mothers!

That sounds worrying, although it might be worth getting onto the council as they are basically homeless then aren't they? It might allow them to get a flat of their own as they should be allowed see each other, that's a bit harsh? (not sure if that's what they want or not, but if it is, might be worth a try)
If not, she'll certainly be better off with you, although not sure how you will all cope...;) Hope you sort it out OK soon... :A
ETA: I agree, people shouldn't want it given to them on a plate - good on you!
Casleigh - well done, keep us posted with you progress... :T

Bit complicated! I thought it was sad. All for a moments madness he killed the people he loved most.

Thanks Rosepink, I think I've seen that one, and agree, quite sad really... I do love watching them though...
Oh, and ETA - Edited to add... (or expected time of arrival, but obviously on here not the latter...)
