Just been having a catch up:

Fedupandskint - ouch! Hope you're not too sore.

Dusty - good luck with the computer, the techies on here are great.

It's not that scary I did it and we're now married and have a little one! There were a few odd people that emailed me first (most about 40 years older than me!) but then along came a good one

Flower - thanks, I'm alright....just a bit tired

Well, here's to a second week of happy flyladying! It seems to be having some affect on the OH, as he sorted out the cupboard under the sink (though I understand it collapsed on him while he sorted the recycling! pmsl!) Today he did the kitchen floor for me, and cleaned the kettle and coffee machine. Bless him!

We looked at the Baileys when we were getting our van. In the end we got a 'new' 2006 display model Avondale Avocet with a 3 yr insurance guarantee on it, a mover and an excellent trade in on our motorhome. I love my van and have spent ages putting things away in her. Am hoping to go out for a weekend soon but first long stint will be over the long Easter weekend

[/list]can somebody please help elly2 - I dont do ovens!!!! -( well mine is so new I just have to wipe it over so havent need to really clean it)

i soaked my shelves in the bath - dissolve a scoop of biological soap powder in the water and leave them over night and then i used a mixture of stardrops, white vinegar and water in a spray bottle on the insides and door - took quite a bit of elbow grease but it's lovely now. someone suggested putting the shelves in the dw it doesn't get all the blacks bit off but softens them so they don't take as much scrubbing and this got the last few really stubborn bits off for me.

hth.

going to start another hhk then off to bed - oh and i STILL haven't had any chocolate:A

i think online dating is just blind dates for the 21st century - just take a deep breath and go for it of course you'll meet a few losers but just make sure someone knows where you are etc - i met my dh on a blind date 20yrs ago and wouldn't swap him but there were 2 or 3 right ones before him - i thought my 'friends' were out to get me at one point.

night night all

sampler all framed and packaged up - that was an effort!! Now have various packaging all over the floor :rolleyes:

Rach - I'm not sure I could do it; I mean, I'd have to go out somewhere (on my own) and meet someone (on my own) and talk to them (on my own) - you get the idea :rotfl: Someone else suggested it but I'm still not sure!! Surely they should all just be waiting at my door :rolleyes:

Good film on BBC1 now if anyone's bored - I, however, have to do my list for tomorrow and go to bed!
