    OH is changing the sheets as I type, and I'll be off to bed in a minute. I have a very hectic week this week at work: 2 parent's evening, observing another teacher in a school an hour away, meeting after school tomorrow and of course my lesson observation on Friday, so I probably won't be able to pop in until the weekend. Msgnomey I still haven't written my lesson observation yet, so will do that tomorrow and email it to you - thank you again for offering to look at it for me.

    Hope everyone has a fantastic week this week. I'll be thinking of you all, particularly LadyL, MSDiva, Toots, Serena's DD, Mumof4 and Carol22.

    PS For anyone who wants to send positive flylady vibes whilst I'm having my observation on Friday, it's 9.15-10.15am.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Well I couldn't get the mould spots out of the washing, I did ask earlier but no-one offered any suggestions....I used a 'whitening' product that is supposed to get rid of stains but it hasn't. Dunno what to do, may have to bin all the washing.:confused:

    Anyhow, managed to decluter a load of Kiwi fruits to Piggers...at least they'll get used :D.

    Popped to Boots and bought a couple of :rudolf::santa2: pressies, with vouchers from Cokezone and got £5.00 off with a discount voucher and £10.00 worth of points on my Boots card so I'm a happy bunny.:j


    I came back and made;

    french onion soup

    potato and leek soup

    carrot and red pepper soup

    tomato soup

    and a beef roast dinner

    and my first ever banoffee pie, which is nice but very rich.

    Put another load of washing in, hung some more on radiators and banister. Also put some in the dryer.

    Had a shower and relaxing now, watching a bit of tv and then I'll call it a night.

    Triker if you can, presoak the clothes in some borax (but it isn't necessary), then wash in the washing machine with either a tablet/or cupfull of washing powder, a cupful of borax and a stain remover powder (vanish or oxyclean - I use Aldi's own and its brilliant!). Also pop a good glug of white vinegar in the conditioner section of the machine. Wash as normal, you may need to do this a couple of times, but it should get rid of the mould.
