    and another THANK YOU for yet another HUG in a PACKAGE - more lovely bits - toe separators (I had lost mine!) post-it arrows, screen wipes, alovely handmade note book and pencil, teabags (ones that I have wanted to try!) and a book 'how I lived on a pound a day' (cant wait to read that) - I think someone - all of you - must be reading my mind or have inside spies - all the things I get are just me to a tee!!!!

    LOve you all and thank you for your thoughtfulness - the packages have certainly brought sunshine to my days.

    Well I've now sorted the washing out into 5 loads... I swear there wasn't that much when I looked in the basket this morning :eek: Mind you I've just put the dark stuff I dyed earlier in the week back though to get some more excess dye out while the weather is reasonably nice and it seems that DD has been through quite a few clothes :mad: Tomorrow, after I've washed the "underbedding" from my current bed (so thats 1 kingsize wool blanket, 2 single blankets that have to be washed seperately, and a double quilt:rolleyes:), I'm hoping to put some of mine and DD's jeans/denim jackets which are virtually white through to dye, that should make them darker than they are but still light if I put them all through together ;). I also have 1 pair of darkish jeans which need to go through on their own to dye the quite light patches due to wear on the legs back to dark :rolleyes: I'm just debating leaving the next dark & whites loads until DD gets home. She's in art club tonight so I dread to think what condition her uniform will be in when she gets in :eek:

    Right, enough procrasting...I really need to go and do this assignment :o IF I get 2 questions done before DD gets home then I will treat myself to a big bowl of ice-cream. If not then its salad for tea :rotfl::rotfl: :wave:

    Just a quick question. I read a post a while back, about how to clean the inside of your washing machine with soda crystals and vinegar I think. Could someone let me know if I have remembered correctly and quantities I should use. Thank you! xxx

      Hi,

      I didn't get much done in my HHC, my sister phoned me. She's lost her baby. She was 12 weeks and they think the baby died at 6 weeks. I'm devastated so i can only imagine how she's feeling. She's wanted a baby for so long. I want to go and see her but they're having a new floor put in their house so are at the inlaws. I'm not going to go to college tomorrow and am going to go and see her then.
