    I put the vinegar in the drawer in the fabric conditioner dispenser.

    Morning all

    The cats got me up at 4 am so I went down and kicked them out and went back to bed. The birds were singing as loudly as they could. At 5.30 the dog woke up and started singing and banging on the living room door. At 6 I gave up and got up!

    Tuesday's list all done Soappie :)

    Got my washing done, dried and put away by 11 o'clock, it's a lovely day.

    I also cleaned the little bedroom, cleaned the bathroom mirror and dusted all the light fittings upstairs, tops of doors etc. I looked in the middle bedroom (DH's train room) with my duster in my hand. After he and DS did some wiring in there on Saturday there is not one inch of space for me to dust! I did manage to do a little vacuuming in there but he will need to move some stuff for me to even pretend it's clean.

    Landing done too.

    And I've been to the dentist and had my filling repaired. Numb all over one side and desperately trying to leave it alone ;)

    Going to catch up now.

    Bevan and Tinkabell, you put it in the drawer. The idea is that the hot water and vinegar will clean all the gunk out of the tubes so that the WM will be all clean and sparkly and keep your clothes nice!

    I've stripped the bed, emptied th hoover, and spilt the contents all over the floor, hoovered that all up and reemptied it properly, and hoovered th bathroom floor. Then I stopped as Whoopi Goldberg was on This Morning. Now I'm going to do some more hoovering - kitchen this time.

    I have done nothing - the phone keeps ringing with people wanting quotes from DH! His advert in the phone book is obviously a very very good idea! Im so pleased! I think I need to start answering the phone more professionally and change the answer phone message if I can - its BT 1571 can you personalise that? I will check!
    Well done on getting the calls for quotes:T
    As far as I know BT 1571 is just a generic message. If you want a personalised one you will need to set up an answering machine.
