    We tried him with a collar and bell a few years ago. He just kind of shrugged one shoulder up to silence the bell and carried on. Didn't even slow him down.

    Was flying in the garden over the w/end, surprize,surprize :p and had a bonfire, managed to set fire to my hair and am now minus eyelashes on one eye and singed hair, :eek: :eek: :eek: really pretty. Thought that might give you all a laugh. Especially if you could have seen me jumping up and down slapping myself around the head trying to put it out!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Actually not that funny, really scary all I could see was a wall of orange flame and the smell!! :o
    The Grass may look greener :o but it`s always going to take just as much mowing ;)

    Magnificent Monday - Kitchen and dining room
    Level One

    Level Two

    Level Three
    Wipe the table and chairs... clean cloth if necessary
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Degunge the fridge!
    Extras
    1. Thoroughly clean the cupboard full of tins!
    2. Run the WM's and DW's through a clean cycle

    Not looking too bad, the dining room is more of a study so will do the table and chairs on that day but will substitute them today with the breakfast bar and stools if thats ok(that way I can get my stars on the right day)

    Hven't caught up on the thread yet, so will do that with a cuppa and then carry on.

    I've been lurking for a while and have decided to sign up and join in. I have a shockingly bad home and need all the help I can get to organise it. I'll post later with my progress, anything else I need to do?
