    Just put the computer on so I haven't read anything yet and I'm miles behind.

    Today's list done.

    Washed a throw from the living room and that's over the banister to dry. Very cold and dull here.

    Also damp wiped living room and computer desk and vacuumed through there. Just need to do the stairs tomorrow.

    I'll try to catch up gradually.

    This is a question about oven cleaning that was answered on here years ago. When soaking oven shelves in the bath what would you recommend for soaking them in? I have put washing soda but am very impatient.

    And, Greenbee, How do I get my glass oven door clean using environmentally friendly products and as little elbow grease as possible? I asked a while ago and you asked me to remind you:)

    I'm soooo tired :( I've got lots of jewellery to make this week (and probably next week too) so not sure how I'm going to get on with the lists.
    I should be able to finish the above though while I'm cooking dinner later :D

    Been here a few weeks now and still can't remember/work out what's going on with who:confused:

    MOF77 hugs to you cos I know you need them from reading back. I see your DD is on azathioprine. I've been on it for years (a lot longer than I'm supposed to) Great to see she isn't having too many side effects!

    On the ironing issue.... DH always says there's no point in doing it:rolleyes: I did go a few weeks not doing it when he first moved in but then I got my steam generator thingy and I "have to" do the ironing!;) My clothes always end up all crinkly and need a good iron... and I'd feel awful if DS went to school in an unironed uniform:eek:

    Afternoon all,

    I've been for a nice lunch with my Sisters & Ds2. I thought he was going to go to sleep on the way home but he hasn't. I need to dig out a freezer surprise for DS1 for Tea, i'm still stuffed, Ds2 should be stuffed considering he ate his own dinner then 1/2 of my Sisters.:eek: I'll make him a sandwich or something later.

    I can't believe it's almost dark already.
