What happened to the delete thanks button and the thanked totals?

PS: Jennybee - I'm intrigued as to what the 6 posts were that you did that you then deleted? (post count 340, thanked count 346?)

I haven't a clue! I don't think I've ever deleted any posts! I expect someone official got fed up with some of my rambling and got rid of a few!!!

Update on 100 fling:

5 pieces of paper / card (recycling), 2 old pens, 1 old receipt, 1 plastic beaker from a game I don't have any more, 1 old pair of scissors, 1 book (will give to friend's daughters).

Also have 2 spare covers / protectors for Wii remotes. They didn't cost me anything so, if anyone on here wants them, let me know.

Total so far - 34 / 100

um....I iron fitted sheets....badly admittedly, but I still try!!!

I do if they are very creased - but do it quickly when the sheet is on the bed:rotfl:

Belated happy birthday - had a quick read of the posts this morning but then had to get on and knew if I started posting I would never get anything done. As it is.... I have hardly done anything (and I started so well earlier in the week....)

Gorgeous baby too JennyBee - I love babies - especially when they are someone elses and can hand them back As for blaming the mess on him.... it just gets worse. DD is 18 and at uni but is currently home for the hols - can't even get into her room and the house is full of things she has 'put down' and not picked up again. But I miss her when she is not here and love her company.

Anyway, back to the task in hand - need to get my act together tonight as have only done a couple of personal things as been out all day so my list hasn't changed much since I wrote it last night.

Tuesday twinkles! - Living room, hall and stairs!
Level One
Declutter and vacuum! – and wash floor after vacuuming (laminate floor)

Level Two
Wipe sofas – will vacuum


Thursday Scrub-a-dub ~ bathroom/loo and cruddy study!
Level One
throw out 100 things from the house! – not sure if got 100 things after all that sorting but am going to sort my makeup and toiletries (there’s loads so know this will take a while but will do it whilst watching tv to make it more bearable!) - on reflection probably threw out more than 100 last night after posting my list as was sorting through old paperwork and managed to fill up my recycling box but still going to try and do my makeup


Level Three
15 minutes filing/shredding! (did the bins because it is bin day tomorrow but will do 15 mins filing on Thursday)


Extras for next couple of days

• print off accommodation vouchers
• [STRIKE]
  
• pay money into NW a/c for hols
• [/STRIKE][STRIKE]change money[/STRIKE]book theatre tickets
• [STRIKE]
  
• get dd to sign card
• [/STRIKE]flights

Oops only managed to cross off a couple of things but also managed:

• phone call to mum (long one so in good books )
• went to Tesco to get slow cooker (thanks for the recommendation Toochoosy - decided to get the chrome one which was £15 on the shelf but when I went to pay it was £9.99 so well chuffed)

also got really nice king size duvet set for £12.50 - really pretty, fits in with colour scheme and a real bargain

ok DD home and then back out so evening free now so going to do 45 min HCC (or is that called something different?) before Eastenders, and then during Eastenders will try and sort out that makeup....

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:

I wouldn't say that ...the Fireman who came to our school before Christmas was a bit of alright, just not my taste. He was tall, slim and blonde whereas I like tall and dark haired usually :rotfl::rotfl: Having said that we quite often get trainee policemen in our school who come in for the day, just a pity they don't have the uniform on :rotfl::rotfl:


Been to Asda, and then had a quick tea of tuna steaks (Aldi frozen ones ) with Hot and Spicy Cous cous (also Aldi), followed by a choc ice :rotfl:. So I'm updating my list as I have no idea (apart from vacuuming and dusting) I've got left to do.

Soappie have you tried fever tree tonic in the company of Gordon?

after extensive research into this, DH and I have decided its more the tonic than the gin, though Henricks in the company of ft is pretty special with cucumber instead of lemon. (sounds gross!)

Nope - never even heard of fever tree tonic. I use good old Schweppes full fat IT.

Just compiling a shopping list for tomorrow. I have lilbro and family coming to lunch on Saturday. I'm doing salmon coubil...caboul...salmon in pastry with rice, mushrooms, dill etc. with new potatoes and salad. Haven't decided on a pud yet.
