    Trying to think of something delicious and nutritious for tea tonight but heads completely blank - no change there then!

    Have a good day all, hugs for those that need/want them x

    Valli's fly-with-a-blue-bottom list

    [STRIKE]make my bed
    put aired washing away
    iron next lot and air
    kitchen[/STRIKE]
    dining room

    assessing situation - it would make A LOT of sense to clean the bathroom next...I have hot mopping water for the floor...

    for future reference cloudy water that clears from the bottom up is very fine air bubbles and the water should be white...This is fairly common when they have been messing with the pipes.
    cloudy water that clears from the top down has some sort of solid (fine powder?) suspended in it and that would settle on the bottom of the glass like a sediment. Check with your supplier!

    Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY

    Well ladies you inspired me already after reading your posts i went and sorted said bedroom out, it really didn't take that long and i feel sooo much better now.
    Am having a minute before taking Ds for his haircut then going to supermarket kids are driving me nuts everything they do turns into a row.

    Had to sort out a hair appointment for my mum for this afternoon and she is pulling her face about the fact that thoughi will take her i am not going to sit there while she has it done!!!!!!
    Why a 59 yr old woman who runs a sheltered housing unit needs her daughter to firstly sort appointment then sit with her while she has it done i'm really not sure!!!
    I'm also trying to buck up the courage to trim DD's hair as i can't afford to pay for her to have hers done.
    In between all this i need to shop sort evening meal iron a mountain of washing put away.....................
    I don't get nearly enough credit for not being a violent psychopath.
