    Sorry to hear that MO477 hope everything turns out ok for you x

    Carol Not terribly OS but I just use Asdas own glass cleaner and kitchen roll for my windows, a vigorous rub all over and they're gleaming...I have big windows too 8ft and the rest 7ft I couldn't be bothered to do them twice and found this gives the best results for me.

    I'm about to bring the bin in....

    Gor what an announcement lol

    we took the kids to the park earlier - they had a good run around!
    then went a got a few more pieces from mr. S - needed a view bits for ds's bday tmrw :rolleyes:

    embb tell your dh to bring a take away when he comes round later ;)

    Sunnygirl you've kept that one quiet - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! and what a great present!!

    kids are having dinner - and i am not far behind!
    dh and i are zombie like today (me 5hrs sleep, him 3 hrs :eek:)

    we've got 2 parcels already for ds - one from dh's sister and one from my sister (they are the only ones who bother) - and nanny will give it to him when we see her soon! -so he is a very lucky boy!

    I have been out for lunch today and then dropped off something to a freecycler and she was cleaning under her sink. Methinks she may be a flylady! I didn't think till I came home and logged on.

    So which flylady received a freecycle delivery while cleaning under her sink then... come on, confess :D

    Sunnygirl - happy birthday!

    MoF77 - another one who needs to learn to look after herself and not just run around after everyone else!

    Well done rosepink - its nice when you finally see some real benefits from the effort you make. Don't forget to wash it up ;)

    crafty - apparently castor oil is toxic if swallowed (which probably explains why it is such a good purgative :rolleyes:), but has been used for centuries for external application. There is also a scientific basis for the way it works (more to the point, there is clear evidence... put the pack on, get a reaction :p, a bit like the epsom salt baths). There are lots of websites, but I won't provide links as I don't know which ones are good... if you're interested, have a browse! Anyway, it doesn't seem to have caused any problems, so I'll be doing it again, increasing the concentration, for the rest of the week. After that I'll have to try to fit it into my routine.

    Am now washed and dressed and ready to meet my brother and hand over his present (didn't get round to making the cake). I thought it best not to go still wrapped in clingfilm! I won't stay late, as I want to have a nice epsom salt bath and an early night so that I can catch up tomorrow.

    Oh - and I've just realised I need petrol. Bother...

    Emily - huge hugs, sounds like everyone but you is being put first.
    Mudbath- I finally got some yankee tarts and love them - thank you for the suggestion!

    The window guy is still here but I've found out why - he's doing ALL of them not just one, only got the dosh for one but he says not to worry about the money just give him it whenever OMG I could kiss him :j:T:j:T will kiss OH instead cause he's the one that arranged it all :cool: :T:j I've plied window guy with tea and chocolate digestives....and also offered him some curry and rice, gosh I do love my mates.

    Ok, one curry put in a tub for the freezer, the other one plated up and some leftover rice will be put in the fridge for another day to go with err something....can't waste it butt...:confused:

    This may sound a little odd, but I've just gone to cook my dinner. I had a clean saucepan and a clean frying pan and clean tongs to cook with. Then I needed the colander which is clean. I have a clean plate, clean knife and clean fork. Even my tray is clean.

    Do we need to get a Flylady collection together to buy you a pair of sunglasses to shield your eyes from all that gleaming? :D

    Hope the traffic's not too bad
