    anyway, can I just put the record straight....

    'Toothbrush to clean the outside of the house' ... LUXURY!
    I lick it clean, and then anti bac it with an eyeshadow brush. You lot are slackers!

    Missed this as I read through the thread earlier, and it warrants a reply!!
    I wanted to make clear that I only used a toothbrush today because I couldn't find the tweezers that i normally use to pick each individual piece of dirt off with. I think I may have left them in the shed yesterday, when I was using them to check all the splinters were perfectly aligned.

    :p:p:p so there!!:rotfl:

    right enough, gibbering from me today.. I really MUST get off this laptop...
    :rotfl:If you have made someone laugh today... check your skirt isn't tucked into your knickers!!!:rotfl:
    Mrs B you're a legend.

    Hi everyone:hello:, went missing at the weekend ( I actually did the whole weekend list, but was unable to fight my way past the four males in the family on to the computer to [STRIKE]brag[/STRIKE] ) share about it) , but have remained calm with ds2 so I think all your good vibes and advice have helped me :T

    . Incidentally Pratchet is why my user name is Hex, the dog is Lu Tze, and DS1 is named after Commander Vimes. Obsessive, me?

    Big Pratchett fans here...dh and I like to think that we are Carrot and Angua, but in fact we are Lady Sybil and Commander Vimes :D...my husband's personality is so very close to Sam Vimes' that I wonder if Terry Pratchett has ever meandered over to Norfolk........Personally I am in total awe of Granny Weatherwax, what a woman!

    I'm a serious cleaner, I spring, summer, autumn & winter clean my house and that's not to mention the mid ones I do. I really think I have some form of problem, I do laugh that I'm a bit OCD, I'd tell you more but you may bar me from flying with yous. One day I may tell you the hospital story.

    I'm not as an efficient cleaner as you, never finish doing anything and the seasons certainly pass me by:rolleyes:, but when I do clean I am scarily thorough, think this my own version of OCD, so I would love to hear the hospital story!

    Welcome liamsmum and this is it! So glad to have you with us, look forward to hearing more from you.

    For HHC I.. put washer & tumble on, and changed oldest DD's bed... nightmare as theres hardly any floor to walk on inbetween the clothes/mess/make-up/hair stuff :eek:

    Going to do another HHC to finish off the dining room and then make dinner...a salad I think as I i'm too hot to cook.
  • That's me - no more flying today - porch and bathroom now thoroughly sparkly :T

    Sorry pigpen, got sidetracked from the living room - got carried away and decided to start some decorating - that'll teach me - there was plaster dust EVERYWHERE - the house was more messy than it was when I started flying this morning :eek: .... but .... we're back on track now :A I'm gonna sleep well tonight :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Ooops - seem we have a case of swine flu confirmed just a handful of miles up the road and a local school is closing for a week. Hey ho, better bulk buy on tissues at some point.

    The saga of the iPhone continues. I got a couple of pre recorded calls yesterday which started 'this is a fraud prevention....' so I just disconnected the call, not realising it was Barclaycard phoning DS to check he'd made the transaction.:rolleyes:

    A couple of calls came through today too so I actually listened to one and found out it was legit. DS came in from work, did the checks and then phoned about the iPhone - the order had been cancelled because the payment got refected. He has now ordered it AGAIN. It seems it will come Wednesday.

    I am now housebound for the next two days as DiL ordered a new phone this avo which will come tomorrow. ~sigh~

    Better go and depoop the garden - it's bin day tomorrow
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
