The clutter I could understand. She obviously had problems throwing anything away.
BUT how could any woman not see mould growing on food:eek::eek::eek:

My ex-MIL's NDN had this problem. (Long gone now!) She has some crupets in the house and exMIL was going shopping and they were checking what she wanted. MIL said she's throw the crupmets out, NDN said not to, they were fine, Mil pointed out the mould spots which NDN thought were currants :eek:

Pigpen has done AMAZING things to her debt (mind you, her DS did set fire to the kitchen which helped out :rolleyes:, but this would take you a while, as you don't have kids yet...). Flylady Flower has also managed to sort things out pretty spectacularly, but she's not about at the moment. Valli's pretty hot on credit cards... otherwise we're all more in the 'don't spend any money, use up everything in the house before you next set foot in a shop' kind of camp.

Have you managed to get your utility bills down yet?

oooh Ta!

juliejim - when I was in the loo i noticed my Bionsen deoderant and thought of you -

Now if I hadn't read the thread I'd be doing this :rotfl:

Went to toilets neat Tower of London and they were packed so the very nice lady (think Gina Yashere's mum including accent) let me in to the disabled drawer with the RADAR key. There were copper pipes in there and they were absolutely gleaming - clearly they are polished regularly SO I went to coompliment her on her bright pipeswork. Fancy! a job like that and she took such pride. I ought to write to Boris. Then I though I'd share it with you lot!


I wonder what's on the list?

(Oh welcome newbies...)

:bdaycake:Happy Birthday Lil_me!

(We saw a cake in Harrods, which costs £4999.99 :eek:)

For a cake??????

Mudbath

How I wish 'how clean is your house' would go and visit my mother!!!

Happy birthday Lil_me - hope you have the fab day you deserve!

Natty - i'm glad that lodgercat is a bit better. The steroids should help as they always made our old lady eat more which was great.

Toots - glad you're feeling a bit more like yourself. Hugs to you xx

:wave: hello LL xx

We think the problem with stripes is she's on a new food (changed over slowly)...but the pellets are smaller as she bolts them down then she's sick and then she eats it again. We're going to add a bit of water so she can't bolt it so fast and see if that works.

Lots to do today.....burning eucalyptus and teatree oil to try and confine this cold to myself!

Hugs to everyone xx

:beer:
the weather here is great, so gonna see if I can reclaim my back door later on. But till then I have a nasty corner in the living room that needs reclaiming. I have an electrician coming on monday so need that corner sorted out asap. The heating company put radiators over plug sockets so they have to come out to blank the ones under the radiators and move them to where they can be reached.

Gonna be a load of mess in my living room and hallway!!!! Not a happy bunny at all but it needs to be done!!!

Right hubby is off at the college for his interview, looks like he got his course. Still waiting to find out about mine so just have to keep fingers crossed. He went to the open night last night and they practically accepted him on the spot!!! Me so jealous lol. DD2 was supposed to be at a paeds appt but they cancelled at the last minute so she is at school (yay!!!)

So off i go for more flying... see if i can get me another star!!!

See you all later xxx

Happy birthday Lil_me!!! Hope you have a great day xxxxx

I think so - I think they were these ones (although this article focuses on the Gents) as you walk up from the Thames (ie behind you) Tower's on the right and these were on the left, just past a Ben and Jerry's.
In fact I am certain it was these...
