    lil_me what a week - at least you will get a bit more relaxation now.
    mumofjust2 well done I take my hat of to you- I am glad you managed and the kids had a good time - maybe you could ask a friend with you next time?
    FFP you were meant to be taking it easy - REST!!!
    nice work soappie - you should feel chuffed!
    restaholic - have a lovely break - enjoy yourselves

    got a bit sidetracked trying to help NOF and it has raised something i didnt know so I thought i would share.
    She thought she would look for a cheaper phone package and fancied the postoffice - when she phoned she was told she would have to pay an installation price if £132 as ther wasnt a BT line - she is with VIrgin!!! So after we talked she tried BT as she was a customer there before virgin - same thing - she would have to pay a reconnection charge of £122 - so be warned about moving your line rental it makes it harder (and possibly more expensive) to move again or go back - always check the position before you make your final choice.

    back on topic I have done the bathroom - well as much as its getting this week - will have to do some pre-painting cleaning before tuesday


    I have now done 51/100

    well, the place is looking aok, if I say so myself, lunch dishes washed, dried and put away, hoovered through again after the girls had sandwiches and crisps, wiped down all surfaces, and put away any stray pencils, books Bratz dolls etc., so all ready for dinner when OH gets here....he has tomorrow and Monday off work, so a nice long weekend for him as he works hard.

    I forgot I had the kitchen to do and here's me going to S&S it doh! So, I've done biggest part of the kitchen, the only difference between S&S and full kitchen list I've discovered, is, spray cleaner :D I only use soap & water when I S&S and kitchen cleaner on kitchen day - makes sense to me :o:D I've also scrubbed the kitchen door and the window and frames outside. Just the floor to mop now :A eTA: and the inside window and frames...double doh!

    I'm up to number 11 on my fling list.
