That would be one of those scientifically proven thingys then? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

By the time you've spent a year scrubbing the smell probably will be gone :beer:

Good Morning to All :hello::hello:
Have had a really busy couple of weeks with one thing and another and have totally lost track on the thread and not much flying done either. Trying to read back and catch up so have been skimming as best as can.
LL – Sending huge hugs for you and think it is so wrong that you have been kept waiting this length of time but am praying that no news is good news
boddy and lil_me – my father suffered with alzheimers and we went through an awful period when he was in one particular ‘home’. He was always agitated when he was there but we were lucky enough to get him into a specialist hospital where he was much more settled. Unfortunately we lost him earlier this year so this will be the first Xmas in years where the BIG day hasn’t been planned around visiting him. Just will not be the same this year
froddy – positive vibes being sent for Maddy
pigpen – your posts make me rofl. Cant wait to read how XH reacts to the divorce papers
diva – thanks for the morning carols and vibes being sent for Tris – love your cards by the way.
Jue – hope all turns out ok with grandad
Rosepink – spent couple of hours tackling my oven last week but didnt get very far with it. Gave up in the end and have got some guy coming out on the 21st to clean it professionally. Have promised myself that I will never let it get into the same state again once it is done. Hope you are feeling better.
Jinky – hope things get resolved with your Mum. Big hugs being sent your way. I really dont get on with mine and what makes things worse is that she actually lives with me – long story but biggest mistake I ever made. :mad: Now get scrubbing on that floor lol – may be a while before we see you back
Hugs to anybody I have missed that need them, Birthday Wishes to those I have missed and Welcome to any newcomers also. Special Thanks to Toots, Soappie and Pigpen for the time and effort put into this wonderful thread
Well so far I have been denying the arrival of Christmas but DD nagged me to put the tree up before she went away so this has dutifully been done and I have to say that I am so glad it is up and am now starting to feel festive. DS has an induction today for an Xmas post and I am going to write lists galore today and start – yes start! – on my xmas shopping. The plan is also to get all the cards written and posted :T
Am not putting up my lists this week as I am so far behind but have done the daily necessities. Will make sure Monday to keep up with you lot and get house back into order

Morning all

Bright and sunny here.

DH taken DS3 to football and DS2 tagging along.

Just off to the shower and to check DS1's room - he was sent to tidy it yesterday and the laptop has been held hostage to help in the negotiations.

Want to put the tree up today/tomorrow and get the blind made too.

My missing parcel has been resent so just waiting on 3 deliveries now. Need to still get a few bits but not venturing to the shops other than Lidl and Mr M on the weekend.

Maddy - sending healing vibes for you
