    Argh yesterdays 'sort ironing cupboard' was a nightmare. I don't think i've emptied it fully in years!!! I've now got to sort through 30odd towels, several duvet sets, bedspreads and countless other things!!! Still maybe I can save money by not buying a new duvet set I was watching on ebay! :confused:
    Going out later and kids on sleepover so any cleaning will be first thing or late.

    I'll join your HHC Penny. Should get most of the list done in that time. Plan to go to the legs, bums, and tums class this morning at 9.30 and it's always been so popular in the past that I haven't been able to get a token, so need to get there early.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • ok does anyone have any bright suggestions how to get into my gas cupboard to read my meter outside - I have mislaid the key thing - I know you can go and buy them but thats not OS and its 2 buses and a walk for me which i was trying to avoid - I have received an estimated bill and I need to check it!

    Does anyone know where you CAN buy these meter keys from for gas and leccy meters?:confused: I really need to check mine myself so I can see my useage on both. Unless they are exportionate I think checking the meter might be cheaper than not!! I'm alll for saving the energy before its spent.:T :T :T
