    I've done a bit more - I won't get everything done, but I have done a whole lot more than I would usually do on a Tuesday evening :rolleyes: Time for another coffee though......

    For the majority i think you are correct.:eek::eek:

    However one is from the villages near the dreaded town and believe me there is a hole world of diffrence between postcodes!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
  • re Charities. Heard about a pensioner who spends about £10 a week on food for garden birds and stray cats. My hubby said that £520 a year is a huge amount to be spending on something like that and how many other people are sucked into the "feed the birds" syndrome. In comparison - Children in Need for example usually raises about £30million each year which roughly equates to about 50pence per head of population. The sums dont add up do they??

    OK, I just want you all to know:

    Tonight I cleaned my oven :eek:

    It was the first time I'd ever done it - and it's about 15 years old. :o
    I *think* Popeye cleaned it sometimes, but he's been gone for 2 years......

    I blame you Hypno for all this midweek housework :naughty:

    I am very impressed OO :T I didn't get as far as cleaning the oven, or the fridge, in my flylady quest today, but I did climb on a stool and clean all the grease from the stainless steel cooker hood, so it is now shiny - and the whole kitchen looks a million times better than usual!

    So, two days in, and I am very pleased with myself......I just need to keep going!

    i really need to do some housework so i will have a go during the next tv break. I will definitely make sure the dishwasher gets unloaded/loaded and turned on before i go to be.
    I've had to be quite rude to those doorstop guys who expect me to hand over my bank details to start a DD to charity when i know most of it won't reach the destination. i would rather donate blood or time than money because i have more of it going free.
