Elf - someone here uses the term 'dot to dot' cleaning or decluttering - hopfully given time the dots will join up and the room will be clean and tidy - I think this is a great approach too. (Sorry can't remember who first thought of this)

Right I have deleted 100 emails each from both email addresses - have removed them from both the inbox and th trash can.

now will finish tea and off to tackle HHC in the ROD

Oh I know its not a hard and fast rule - just thought I might have pulled my finger out and got loads done today but truth is I just cant be bothered :rotfl:. I was working on the idea that little steps can take you a long way but I like the phrase dot to dot

Oh and thanks PENELOPE PENGUIN re the freezing mozz info - going to go and try and find a little corner to fit it in now

hex Your house sounds just like mine. We have the dry stone walls too. I hate it when the cows knock stones off the top. Our house is a building site too,downstairs but upstairs is really improved. We keep all the cement and plaster boards for next door in here too so it is like a building yard.
pigpen I dream of living in a little house too. I would love a tiny two up two down.

elf As a HE teacher in my past life I would say freeze any cheese. I froze loads of Brie after DDs wedding and it came out fine. Cheddar tends to go crumbly after freezing but is still ideal for cooking.

A general question.. Is it wrong to put the central heating on in July? I am really cold, my toes are like ice, I am wearing a fleece jacket indoors!

hi all
what have we done - poor Triker
Elf - 'tis AnWsMum who perfected the dot to dot method which is, I believe, a system for dealing with one thing at a time.
AnWsMum (((hugs))) but I hope happy memories - how lovely that that was your forever house and you will stay there, in the house you both chose for your family to grow up in.
I have a STACK of ironing because I woke up early and put more washing in. So much so that both lines were filled and I have had to wait to peg out even more. So I am about to put yesterday's ironing away and do another maidenful.
Welcome back Tilli - missed your av! I am a Dilbert fan.
Sexy - that sounds like a VERY productive INSET day.

HHC at 2:15 anyone?

Happy Saturday all. First day of the hols, and we have a spaniel puppy come to stay. He has already picked up 3000 things, so could be a flypuppy.

wm x3 and DW x3

Hoovered sitting room and hall. Got guy to quote for installing woodburner.

Both children in bedrooms exhausted by puppy!

Soappie thanks for the fishy ideas! I am veggie and so underconfident about cooking fish or meat. Sounds yum.

Valli hugs, and being nosey, what is the job you have gone for? Still in teaching?

Rosepink you're right, its jolly cold.

I love weekends! Had a proper grooming sesh last night.

Duvet airing on line, mattress turned and hoovered, cat bowls washed and bleached.

Dead mouse decluttered from under settee by OH, downstairs floors bleached.

Smelly Tupperware flung.

Oldest cat brushed to within an inch of his life.

Phoned water company to go off meter - saved just £40 in a year being really careful, rubbish.

Off for food shopping and wholesaler for meat - wish me luck!
