    Had to laugh at all the 'firemen' talk.
    My father and grandfather were both in the Fire Service. Sorry to burst your dreams but real firemen don't look like the calendar pictures.

    Well that's my little fantasy done for :eek:

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Emily, just reading back and saw you got a stain on your top – have you managed to get it out? I had some little tiny splatters on a top once from cooking a tomato sauce and they wouldn’t come out so I sewed sequins over them and put more sequins randomly over the whole top – it was a plain top transformed into a nice sparkly one! I wondered if something like that would save your top from the bin!

    It seems to have come out after treating with soda crystals but thanks for the suggestion Rosepink :A

    Well done MOJ2 for doing the holiday thing on your own...that''s a hard call when you've been half of a couple.
    And well done Soappie for obsessive and precise listing...
    DS has been on here most of the day sniping and shooting apparently...

    today I have
    scanned PC
    changed blown lightbulb
    cleaned bathroom level 3
    pegged out washing
    brought it in
    draped on maiden
    pegged it out again
    brought it in again
    made potato hash with suet dumplings (I have a 15yo to fill)
    made double batch dumplings and boxed half up for freezer
    phoned sis and arranged to collect DD later, hopefully M1 will have cleared and surrounding roads be less affected
    Taken DS to GFs
    Booked dental check up for DD
    Prepped for Friday errand

    Still to do
    Kitchen
    iron washing (manly tea towels from work and a duster)

    been on washing line or whirly thread - peg matching and perfect (in the hanger's opinion) line hanging is a national obsession :rotfl:
    Well that's my little fantasy done for :eek:
    I know a right hunk who got a new job (I was teaching his niece so she told me this...) as a FIREMAN
    I came over all unnecessary.:rotfl:

    LOOK AT THAT TYPO LOL - it's thinking about firemen! I'll leave it in LOL
    Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY
