    Just contemplating sorting out the airing cupboard, I say airing cupboard it contains the boiler and a mound of 'useful' stuff :rolleyes: there's a few towels and sheets in there somewhere but I couldn't see them :eek: my thinking being A: I'm going to the skip anyway so may as well fill the rest of the car up with junk from there, and B: It has to be emptied for the heating guys anyways. I'll just grab a binbag.

    Afternoon all

    DH has started painting the inside of the garage so we can put the new carpet (from Mum's bedrooms) down in there to make it lighter and cleaner. Then we need to get some shelving for out there.

    - I never knew you was going to be on there - was you the one with the chicken bedding? Or the one decanting handwash? I'd have paid closer attention had I known!

    Can't decide what to do next, I've stripped our bed so I might sort that out or there is gardening to be done.

    .
    I think she might've been the shredding/bedding/composter or the decanter or possibly the bucket in the shower flushing the loo lady...
    I am SO going to do the handwash thing though!

    (I have just watched it on i player)

    She deffo wasn't granny Barbara :rotfl:

    well aren't (some - mine definitely) neighbours WONDERFUL

    DD has dancing class at 10.30 at 10.15 I was in the car which coughed, spluttered and chugged and would NOT start. To late to go for the bus...
    Ran round to neighbour, who, still in dressing gown said he would take her to town, which he did then (having dressed first) he came back and jump started my car. Off to the spares shop for a new battery (£45) but fine now.
    What a star!

    So managed to get DS into town in timwe to be collected by his dad.!

    House is a tip - kitchen floor needs remopping so I am going to

    1 - iron a maidenful (this will be bedding)
    2 - run round like a mad thing tidying lounge, dining room and mopping out kitchen

    This will be AT LEAST half an hour - would anyone care to join me?

    Triker likes pretty numbers - so round numbers or numbers with sets of digits in - thought she might like that set!

    and on THAT subject heres mine
