    hoover through
    clean toilets (still not done)

    reload DW
    S&S kitchen
    housekey for work
    hoover for work

    make neds
    tidy living room
    move money
    SC


    It's trying to be sunny, be interesting to see if it wins.

    Hi just popping in for my lists. Hope you are all well and happy.

    I have a message from Lady-L She has told me to tell you all she says Hi.

    Dusty It's venetion (sp) blinds I have. I used to do my verticals in the bath too but I used liquid soap powder meant for wool and a small nail brush to gently rub if that's any help. Toots gave me the tip as the time I washed my blinds before I tied them to the washing line and they took an age to get clean!

    DeniseNZ So sorry for your loss

    Emily Don't worry about still waiting for the baby to arrive. My mums due date was the 27 April and I never made my entrance into the world till the 3 May so plenty time yet!

    DS1 is really worried over this swine flu. One of the kids in his class has a family member working with the two confirmed cases at Monklands. I spent most of last night talking to him and then had to go through it all again this morning. The media has a lot to answer for.:mad:

    I know exactly what you mean... I've got the same with my big girls.... they're really worried about it, in spite of our reassurances. And with me in bed with a disgusting cold... their imagination is on overload! :rolleyes:
