    Flower that list is toooooooooo long, ditich it, they will all come round nxt week

    :rotfl:I know, probably won't do most of it and am using it as a guide (windows definitly out for instance), but I'm working all next week and am away on the course the week after so need to hit what I can - bedding, cleaning floors, ect... I won't get any stars but I will have a nice clean house IYKWIM...

    Kaz - I will Utube it and show hubby when he gets home tomorrow night - sounds like fun - there are now a 'gang' of his mates that have just passed and some that have had bikes for years and they keep wanting to go out for days together - they are all late 40's/early 50's - do you think it's a male menopause thing? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sarah - love the scheme you've chosen - very relaxing...

    OK, I really must get on...

    Anyone for a HHC...?
    I'm starting now, but if you want to join me I'll finish at 10.45 and update...:D

    Kaz, can't find a link on UTube - any idea what I could type in (have tried ride to the wall, ride to the wall stoke, war memorial stoke, harley davidson ride to the wall, etc...) am mainly getting skateboarding tips, but my old bones won't take that... :rotfl::rotfl:

    Ohh, must get on, I'm supposed to be on a HHC... :?

    Morning all

    had a lovely evening with girlfriends...the hostess couldn't get a sitter so we went to hers and ordered an Indian and my favourite restaurant delivers (we all like that one - I never knew you could get huge deliveries in special boxes...)
    Rach (hugs) a colleague of mine had a daughter diagnosed with PCOS and said daughter went into panic mode and started 'trying' and had a boy and within weeks of giving birth conceived again - TWIN GIRLS so 3 babies in 2 years :eek:

    Hello newbies - glad Toots' balloons are bigger and better she'll be feeling all loved and thought of -

    see you later

    (oh washing on line BTW)

    I got missed off this week...but managed to do everything except Friday's activities which I did last weekend. ;)

    Soappie, I think this woman deserves some stars?

    I've done some washing up. Decided to watch a Frost this morning, and when looking through my tapes discovered I have one that I've never seen before! It's very exciting! So I'm watching it now, it's a good un.

    When it finishes, I need to have a wash and hair wash and then clean the bathroom and have some lunch. We are going to London to see Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat this afternoon. It's the fourth time we've been, but the first time with Gareth Gates in it. Some of our friends are coming so it should be a fun afternoon!

    Thanks AnW'sMum and Flower. I really like it too.

    We've got a fake marble fireplace, which is black, but I want to paint it white. Any tips??

    ah ha - I know that! There is a special marble paint. Flower recommends going to a trade paint place for stuff like this and asking them for advice...
    (she will be so glad that I have (a) read what she posted and (b) remembered it!)

    ah ha re-read your post - what is it faked on - ie wood?
