  • Morning all! Done HIC, found Shelob's lair at the bottom of the ironing mountain.

    Any views on what to clean windows with, I have been using window spray ( smells nice, doesn't work too well) and meths (stinks, works less well) they are sadly neglected, do I give in and just use neat bleach?!

    Happy Flying...

    Yay I'm feeling pretty good this morning after feeling pretty grotty yesterday. Daughter is off out for the day again, yesterday it was Drama practice for her exam and today school is open for an Art coursework catchup or something so she is going to that cos she's bit of a teachers' pet with art. I'm certain its mostly for the social side of it lol, and I'm glad she's not sitting on the PC all day in her dressing gown (oops, like I am right now! Better go get started on this HHC!)

    Morning everyone, didn't manage to even start the livingroom list last night. Decided to have a long soak and watch a girlie dvd instead.:D

    So need to complete the two lists today and get some food into the house, so i should really go make a start.

    Dusty hope your DS is feeling better soon, my DS2 is out in hives at the minute the same as this time last year and the doctor just said he was alergic to something ( i think it's a plant in the garden somewhere).

    Sarah glad your having a lovely holiday.

    Right i'm away for now, bye bye.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    ETA Think I'd better go and wash my hair and get dressed as someone just rang the doorbell and by the time I'd rushed upstairs to get my dressing gown on and rushed down again, they'd gone!
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Sort out changing bag
    Strip bedclothes
    Do something to the birds nest that is my hair
    Wish for a relaxing birthday tomorrow and appreciate the long weekend with OH!
