    Morning all

    Emily - hope the workmen aren't too disruptive - and well done to your occ therap!
    Dusty - hugs - hope your Nan improves today

    Am going to strip the bed shortly and wash the sheets. The rest of the day is a bit of a blank page. I have the gas man coming to service the heating this afternoon so I'll need to clear out the 'boiler house' so he can see what he's doing.

    I've been lurking rather than posting for a while as work is sooooo busy.

    No days off now until next Saturday :(

    Can anyone tell me how to run a the cleaning cycle on a washing machine?

    Just can't see it on ours.

    Hello Princess Jane- to do a cleaning cycle on the washing machine a lot of us use soda crystal and white vinegar and put it on a hot setting with no washing in it except maybe you cleaning rags etc. Only found this out myself this week :D:D

    Toots-hope you are doing ok

    Soappie hope Boo is alright. You too.

    Dusty- so sorry to hear abut your Gran :(

    Emily- Sounds like you will be having a busy day today. At least they are getting it done. Mess for 2 days must be better than mess for 5 or 6 days .


    Right then todays list is Children's room. really want to get it done so that I have done all this weeks list. (Toots don't worry about the stars I just want to be able to know I have worked hard this week) May even try to do the weekend list :D

    Hi all, I popped by yesterday for a read then forgot to post! Just seen the time of night some of you are up!!:eek:

    Anyhow...
    Toots - Hope you're ok..
    Soappie - Good to hear the doggie is doing ok
    Dusty - Sorry to hear your Nan is so poorly
    Emily - Hope the day isn't too stressful, but at least it gets it over with in one go!

    As for flying, not much point in posting my lists for the last couple of days as I've done very little on them! I'm on a holiday day today so off to the supermarket shortly then planning to tackle the lists & general tidying for the rest of the morning, then hoping to get out in the garden this afternoon. Catch you all later
