    Wednesday - Living pit, hallway, stairs!! Done

    I did the living room & stairs on Sunday so it's out of the way for me today BUT I'm bottoming the kids rooms today :eek: I've given up on them keeping them nice themselves so am doing it myself! I shall actually enjoy doing several bin bag dances in there :rotfl:

    Hi Tink

    I would use it on windows if I didn't have a weird cloth, I don't know if it's microfibre or not as it came with the microfibre cloths but it's for windows. All you have to do is spray a small amount of water onto the glass/mirror, wipe with the cloth and hey presto, clean windows/mirrors. I leave one in the bathroom so that whenever someone has a bath they can clean the mirror as it steams up and saves me doing it with spray bottle :) hehe


    If you put shaving foam on the mirror rub it all over and then wipe off with a microfibre cloth and buff it up. It won't steam up then. Always open a window as well. Kids don't always remember to do this and can't always reach.

    Well, finally headache seems to be easing off a little :) So can now do bits and pieces, still sticking to level 1 but if there's something little one another level and I feel ok to do it I'm doing it to.

    Thank you to everyone for the tips on the WM, I put the vinegar in on the hottest setting and I must admit, the drum looks as shiny as it was when we first bought it :D Also managed to get all the dishes done last night :j There was 2 days worth as just wanted to go to bed Monday once I'd had my tea. Tea last night was ok, tonights is in fridge deforsting, I'm getting good at this remembering to take tea out. Just wait till DH comes home, it will completely finish as he's so fussy and cant decide night before what he will eat. Out of pork chops and lamb burgers now though, don't think I'll be getting the lamb burgers again, there's something in them that little digestive system doesn't agree with (bl00dy thing)

    Michelle good luck at the Dr's, I was having similar symptoms a few years ago, the lump in throat, weight on the chest, I also had very severe migraines with them as well which worried the Dr's a little and they even sent me to a neurosurgeon :eek: that terrified me!!! Turns out the migraines were something my Mum suffered from when she was my age and they gave me tablets for it, and the lump in throat, nausea and weight on chest was all from anxiety. I was already signed off from work because of another health problem so didn't know what was causing the anxiety, just had to learn to 'relax' (still dont know how to lol) but when the other problem started to gradually get better so did the anxiety symptoms. I only get problems now when I relapse or am really stressed out! Having a good Dr always helps, my Dr in Cornwall was amazing, seen me through the whole time I have had this illness, I am now trying to find a Dr up here who can replace him, it's very difficult, cant wait to move back to Cornwall again!! :)
    I hope you are enjoying your little bundles Lady-L, Gizmo was in a strop last night as I was paying more attention to my flying and Angel (she's in heat at the moment and only way to quiet her is to stroke her) so I now have 2 cuts on my hand as he decided only way to get my attention was to attack me! Times like that I wish they were still babies as they're claws didn't hurt so much or go so deep back then! :rotfl: The shyness fades eventually, although Angel will stay away from DH when he comes home, been doing that since he started tour work so don't really know why, while Gizmo is over the moon when he comes home as he seems to prefer DH! lol He's a mans cat.
    Hope Toots is doing ok. I'm trying to get atleast one star this week to help with the numbers.
    jjeff I had 4 teeth out ready for braces and as much as they hurt while I had them, it was well worth it and I would do it again! Hope everything goes well for DD today, I'm also terrified of needles, I can have injections in my arm, I've even got a little tattoo but needles in my mouth???? :eek: completely freaks me out!
    Quillion, will definitely use that idea :) I normally open the window after I have a bath as it is right over the bath, if I open it during I get a cold wind while in the bath! :rotfl: The only thing the kids do in there is cause a mess :D
    *Hugs* for all, better do some work today :) Then see what I can do when I get home tonight :)

    Doesn't look much better but doing the floors in this weather is not too good, so took a while.
    Washing on line as well though, cold drink and a cool down now, then a HHI at 10:30 if anyone wants to join in

    ETA, how did you get on Sexymouse? I need to do 1 or 2 HHS later as my tutor is phoning this evening for a practice oral and I hate them!!!
