    Have towels and bathmats in the WM atm, when that's finished i'll strip the bed and get todays list finished. Between last night and this morning i've also blitzed the bathroom - it's all sparkly and having organised all the toiletries i don't think we'll be needing to buy anything for months! Have a basket for oral hygiene, a basket for the shower, basket for the bath, and 4 baskets of shampoo/conditioner - shocking stuff but now it's sorted we can see what we have and shouldn't buy anymore for a while! I also discovered 7 hair dye kits - lord only knows why i have so many spare but shall dye my hair tonight and make inroads on the stash! :o

    Hope everyone's well and Toots i make my banana bread in a loaf tin in the oven - i use the recipe from the Thrifty Ways for Modern Days book and it goes down well at home and in work!

    Hugs to all those in need atm especially Toots, LL and Rose. xx

    Just have a lunch break as my brain stalled (too much ICT abbreviations on a page I was trying to read stalled my brain :o ) and done some little jobs while DD watches Murder She Wrote from yesterday ;) So, washing put in TD, lunch made, breadmaker on, tea out to defrost (the last of the homemade lasagne...I'll be doing that again :D ), and I'm about to put some bread rolls in the 'moska to cook - I could really do with doing some of twinks hob nobs to snack on but I can't spare the time ATM. Might do a couple of batches tomorrow ;) Cupboards, freezer & fridge are looking decidely empty...time to get creative :rolleyes:

    Right, off to check email etc again and then I'll get back too it. :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Twas me! I have such a small space to clean that I always do it by hand. Means you can get right in the corners and do the skirting boards, kickboards and the bottom of any doors whilst you are there!!

    Holly - you are getting sooooooooo much done. Are you normally like this?!

    Thanks Glazmazon it was so much better i could get to all the grotty edges.

    When i'm in work or college i struggle to get much done so on my days off i really go for it. I didn't do anything yesterday as i came home from college with a migrane. Today i'm off so it's catch up time. There's probably a better way to do it but it seems to work for me. Also i've been flying for about 18 months so some things don't take very long to do.
