Money_saving_Diva_2

Morning ladies,

Special thanks to the triumvirate of power - Pigpen, Toots and Soappie as ever.

BeckyandJack, Pink_numbers and Mumof2 and welcome back Lizziedripping.
Jinkypinks -
LadyL - . As you can see I am here! Was sat in the candlelight for nearly an hour and then it all came back on. So glad I had the candles lit as when all the lights went out it was a bit of a shock. About 6 streets were knocked out, I could hear everyone outside when it first happened, all laughing and checking with each other that it wasn't just their house!
Nikki - Huge congratulations honey.
Rosepink - Huggles sweetie - hope you sleep better tonight.
Poppy - I am so sorry to hear the news - I have typed out the recipe I used but in light of the other things preoccupying you I will leave it for now and you can have it anytime you like. Am thinking of you hon and you know where we all are if you need us.

Hardly :rolleyes: Our tree and decorations went up on Wednesday 23rd Dec and will come down on 12th Night, as is traditional. We then have a festively decorated house over all the Christmas holiday period, when friends and family visit. I really don;t get why poeple want them down so soon but then I didn;t get why people wanted them up when November was hardly out :pPenny. x

Totally agree there. I only finished putting mine up on Christmas Eve and am still enjoying how lovely they look.

Off to find my list..

TAG

Morning Diva and everyone else.

I have my house back:j After spending 3 and a half days with Mr Tag, he went home yesterday and now I can get back to normal. That sounds a bit horrible doesn't it? It was nice for Miss Tag to have him 'on tap' if you like. But I've gotten so used to being on my own and doing my own thing that I found it really difficult!

Hugs to you Poppy You know where we are!
Congrats to nicki.

YUP - count me in again this week... hopefully I can remember to update daily, everyday instead of just M -W!!! giggle... Question... what is the best way to get rid of spiderwebs? I noticed yesterday that the ceiling light above the stairs (hard to get to - must use vacuum maybe?) has a MASSIVE web... I do not own a feather duster as I have a Dyson with a duster attachment... but seriously, what is the best way to get rid of spiders webs?

Hi all, hope you had a good Christmas, only a few more hours playing with my niece so I need to make the most of it.

I am in again. Although I am going to be doing the lists I am going to try to declutter each room fully first, if there is time I will clean although it should get done as I go. We haven't really been home for two weeks so it is pretty tidy anyway. OH and I are off for another week so a great chance to be able to fly easily when we are back.

The kitchen is the one room without clutter and we won't be home until later so will have to see what I can do. Can already tick some stuff off though.
