    Anyone want a HHC from 10am?

    Lady-L - big hugs love - hoping they can fix you up.

    Why does one job lead to another? If I'm to move THAT out of the front room, the only place to put it is in the cupboard under the stairs. But the cupboard under the stairs need sorting out first ~sigh~

    On top of that, I've nipped next door and put the oven pride in NN's oven to clean it - I've been promising to do it for her for a couple of weeks. It WILL be sparkling by the time she gets home from work.

    And, as it's a fantastically breezy but sunny day, I ought to get the washing done. It's going to be a busy day I can tell!

    ~double sigh~
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    I use a microfibre cloth. My dad uses isopropyl alcohol. Apparently meths works too... My mechanic uses screenwash (he generally returns the car MUCH cleaner than it is when I leave it with him :rotfl:)

    Suppose I should pack up and go to bed... can't be bothered though...
    Thanks, I will have a look and see what we have. I think the only one out of those we have is screenwash, why didn't I think of that! LOL! I only ever think of it for the outside of the windscreen! :rolleyes:


    Jenny, well done on your exam results!

    Big hugs Natty, so sorry to hear about lodgercat xx

    Boddy, enjoy your last day today!

    Penny, wow, I love the idea of your DD being an illustrator, will look out for her work in the near future (although just realised I won’t know its her as she won’t be known as Miss Penguin LOL)

    Big hugs Lady Liberty, hope the pain and sickness eases off, you are in my thoughts and prayers, love you lady

    DH is home today, he's still not feeling well. Not sure how much I'm going to get done today, it's harder to do things when he's here. Saying that tho, the things I've got left on the lists might still be achievable, and I've got to pop into the village which I'm dreading, but really should do. For one thing, I need to take the tax disc for the old car down and see if I can get any money back, need to research what I need to do...

    Thank you :A Her surname is very unusual (it's almost certain that if you know someone with it it'll be a relative - she knows everyone on FB with that name ;) ) so you may be able to spot her :D

    I'm going to do a HHC starting now if anyone wants to join in :j
