    crafty how does the op only take 5 min to mop the kitchen floor, does she live in a doll's house?

    More like a parallel universe - it only takes her 5 minutes to sort her washing and hang it on her airers!

    My kitchen floor is about 6' by 6' at its widest point so I could easily mop my floor in 5 minutes but hanging washing takes me much longer - and no, I don't colour match the pegs :D
    ... don't throw the string away. You always need string! :D

    It's a charity card... I thought I'd be nice to the charity and use it! I think it might be because I used it twice last week, and hadn't used it for ages.

    Random security check apparently... mind you, they said it should work now and it doesn't.

    Greenbee, maybe they thought Epsom salts and vinegar together were a dangerous purchase...

    Am having a v. small gordons this evening to celebrate the fact I have had no fever since I got up. Dinner in the oven - a sort of boulangere potatoe dish made using the remnants of the celery soup I did yesterday. The salmon will be popped in in foil shortly. Both kids are so it's just me.

    DD came and walked the dog. She's really worried about her bloke, his temp's still sky high. But, hopefully, now he's started taking the Tamiflu, he should begin to recover.
