Hello all :hello:

I'm back because my house is a mess and I fell off the wagon with a hell of a bump. To top it off I've got a throat infection but if I don't start moving soon I'm going to seize up major style, two days laying on the sofa is more than enough for me Oh and I haven't managed to catch up with the threads that I've missed (last one I posted on was the WB 16th March :eek: ) or with this weeks so Hugs, congrats, sorrys, tissues and wine as appropriate :D

DD is away this week until lunch/early afternoon Sunday but I have a months worth of OU work to catch up on :eek: With two assignements due in the next two weeks. :eek::eek: BUT my NVQ is finished, and I got confirmation on Monday that I have passed so I am now a qualified Level 2 Learning Support Assistant aka Teaching Assistant :j:j:D:D:D It took alot of work but I got there in the end and thats the reason I've been missing.

Wonderful Wednesday - Kitchen and dining room
Level One - DONE!
Level Two - DONE!
Level Three
Wipe the table and chairs... clean cloth if necessary
Sweep and mop the floor
Degunge the fridge!

Kids are eating lunch at the table, it will get cleaned when they're done, and the chairs were thoroughly cleaned on Friday when we swopped the tables in the kitchen and conservatory. I will vacuum and mop the floor this afternoon, but have made an executive decision to leave the fridge alone, because it is full of groceries which were purchased last night. I don't know if that will stop me getting a star or not (there must be a rule about executive decisions! LOL)

Pollybear

liuhut - that's very exciting, I hope you'll be happy there

All my washing is dry, folded and put away. Off to start cooking dinner now.

Use babywipes wendy!

Ok thank you, not that I have any of those either - my baby is nearly 11 now :eek:, but baby wipes have got to be cheaper. I'll get some when I go out next.

I have another question . . .

I have a . . . erm chip pan unhealthy I know and we don't use it very often hence it's state.
It's manky, covered in fluffy grease on the lid. How do I get it clean??

I don't want to throw it cos it is in good condition

I just watched Kim and Aggie yesterday (inspired me to get back on here!) and have in fact ordered their book on Amazon - hoping it will be money saving as the money I pay for the book will be offset by the money I save on cleaning products - and I will want to stay in more to enjoy my very clean and tidy house (when it happens :rotfl:)

My daughter brought me their book from a bootfair at the weekend it only cost her 50p, I've read it now just need to put it in practise now

Hi all :hello: Hope you are all ok and having a good day. Thought I would give the kitchen a good blitz today. I am working through the list and just adding lots of extra jobs. I have just finished taking everything off the shelves and scrubbing them all down. I have also given all the tiled areas a good clean. Stopping for some lunch now. I have been trying to eat something small and often, hoping to curb the morning sickness a little bit. I had some lovely cards today, from a few Mums, whose daughters came to the Fairy Party on Saturday. They said that they really enjoyed the party which means such a lot, and makes all the planning and organising very worthwhile! DD had some lovely gifts, so at some point this week I will have to find homes for them all! Hope you all have a good afternoon; see you later. Abbie xx

I've got 45 minutes before lunch so I think I'll go and attempt to clear the washing up pile. With being ill I've just left it, DD has been using plastic stuff I had in after last time I got sick . I didn't even have the energy to put the stuff into soak until last night after I finally managed to get some soup in me This may take me a while, but I'm getting there slowly. :wave:

Afternoon everyone

SarahS - glad you're having a wonderful time
Dusty - sneaky sneaky on the green bin - love it!
Hex2 - a rib of beef sounds a little small for 10 people. Tesco have an offer on their large topside/silverside joints (at least they did on Saturday) I picked up a nice piece for £16.00 which I've cut down into 3 joints and frozen.

Well, as you can probably guess, we all bunked off at lunch time - I now have five and a half days with no work

Having checked the weather forecast, I will potter in the garden this afternoon. I stopped off at a garden centre on the way home for an incinerator. Ended up with a dill and a tarragon plant and two packs of seeds but no incinerator as they were out of stock So I need to sort those out. I want the incinerator to burn the mass of pine needles that have collected over the winter (our green waste collection stops between Nov and April and I can't do a Dusty because I'm not here when they collect) . As tomorrow is going to be wet and grey, I thought that would be a good day to do the burning - it won't upset the neighbours too much. I'll pick one up from the hardware store when I go shopping tomorrow.

Right, off into the garden...
