    How about you give the outside of it a really thorough clean? Or substitute it with something else (cooker hood, including cleaning/replacing the filters?) that needs doing but you've been puttin goff
    Glad you like it. It's from Debbie Brown's 50 Easy Party Cakes

    Pity work is all done via my browser... if it wasn't I might find it easier to stay off here... :o

    How about I substitute it for the cupboard under the sink - is the only one I didnt do as it was such a mess. Could do some before and after pics :oToots - would that be allowed? Thank you for the link greenbee - have saved it to favs for now

    De.Nattom – Your list :eek::eek:

    Quillion – Thank you – took me ages to get the ‘blinking’ working

    Well since last post have been flying. WM emptied and another load in, Outside bins ready for putting out tonight, washing put on radiators to dry (I don’t have a tumble dryer), DW emptied, plus what is marked off my list

    Am now off to sort out the shower room. Dont know if anybody has any suggestions but my cat who is 14 has started spraying and weeing in there. It smells rank. Have no idea why he has started doing this and am getting paranoid whenever he is walking around and start screeching at him if he pauses too long in one place in case he does it there. Do you think getting a litter tray may be an option?

  • Just HOW does the house get so messy over the weekend? And then they all just go off to work safe in the knowledge that it'll be sorted by the time they get back. Well today it may not be because I'm flagging and feeling resentful. Problem is I want a star off Toots so I'm going to have to get my act together.
  • Ok, this morning I got in a mad cleaning frenzy so I've cleaned the bathroom, bedrooms, kitchen and computer room (under stairs). This is the kick up the bum I've been looking for as my house looked like a bomb had dropped yesterday.

    I stayed off the computer so didn't even know which fly day it was. OH is a sleep on the settee so once I de clutter him from there I will crack on with that room and then play catch up with my ironing.

    Also need to clean out oven as negelated this in the clean, once I finish the washing I think there's about four loads left I will run it through a cycle.... ok off to pick ds up from nursery so wishing you all well sorry not been around or caught up with thread may do that tonight with a coffee!!

    Me neither. No one seems to want anything at the moment...

    I know greenbee, what's going on with Freecycle! I've offered a few things, games etc that are brand new and would make really lovely presents etc... no takers!

    Poppytime, I wouldn't normally iron the sheets, but we have family coming over for the first time over the hols... greeeeeeeeeat.

    Also, about your kitty! A litter tray may not work as they usually spray to mark their territory. It's a different 'process' to urinating... didn't realy know how to phrase that! Anyway, cats usually only spray if they're anxious about something. They get stressed easily and spraying is like a comfort to them, they feel like their empire (your house) is protected! Have aread here for some ideas on what to do and how to clean the areas: http://www.cats.org.uk/catcare/leaflets/VET06-Sprayingandscratching.pdf All the best with that!!
