Pen Pen - this is the KH definition posted by me a few days ago:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=28192675&highlight=#post28192675

As I recall there was then a discussion about whether it should be NH rather than KH and I pointed people in the direction of the Urban Dictionery to look them both up and realise that maybe KH was the correct acronym

I wasn't the only one wondering then thanks Pen Pen for asking;)

oooh whilst I think on, I want to croquet a blanket or two for the baby's moses basket, I've seen measurements of moses baskets matresses so shall I make them 4 inch bigger all round than the said matress? It's been a long time since I last made one. Like croqueting far better than knitting (such as cardies etc) as you see the results quicker!! Moi - impatient - not a chance!

Just checked on my moses basket and 4 inch all around should be plenty hun

Just dropped Mum of at train station feel a bit sad now we got on for the first time in ages with no arguements still she has to go home or by next week we would be wanting to kill each other.

And :p

I need to find a very small sideboard/console table for my kitchen. Either French oak or carbonised bamboo, to go with either the dining table or units. 90cm wide, 50 cm deep and probably about 90cm tall. Can I find one? No... of course not... they're all 110 cm wide, which means I wouldn't be able to store my chairs either side (I have 6 tiny pawnbroker chairs that I keep in corners round the house so I have enough dining chairs...)

Lists nearly done... then I might start working through them!

I've been in the kitchen, on and off, for about 6hours today - like you all said it took a while to get into that state and its going to take a while to get out of that state. It still doesn't look like I have achieved too much. I've taken everything off the work surfaces and put them in a central pile and going through it slowly so I don't throw anything essential. Its going well!

Like I said, I didn't feel that i'd done much but having crossed so much off this list I really have - what a great motivator! I've also done an hour and halfs dance class this evening so absolutely exhausted but feels soooo good - bring on tomorrow!!

Also: Cleaned windows, 2 loads of washing, dried and put away, Crimbo cards down and ready to recycle, decorations ready to go away. Am decluttering last box of Crimbo choccies and watching film as we speak.

Might pluck up courage to tackle neighbour re: crows tomorrow - he's not a farmer btw, we live in a sort of urban village and he is 2 doors up from the pub....

Nighty night. Pantomime tomorrow...Oh yes it is!

Right I've had enough. My Ebay schedule has gone up the spout! I've listed one thing and really CBA to do the other four! :rolleyes: So I won't.:p

I've just decluttered a homemade beef curry and naan! Nom,nom,nom!!:D Had two little bottles of lager and lime and now my Xmas alcohol stash is neat and tidy:rolleyes:;):rotfl: Will probably all still be there next Xmas as well at the rate I don't drink very often:rolleyes:

Might just declutter myself to bed and read for a bit I think.

Catch you all tomorrow xxxxxxx

Had quite a productive day here BUT then at 8pm I saw Miss A's school trousers had not been washed :eek: Goodness only knows how I have managed to miss them all this time, anyway they are washed now and on the radiator for the morning.

WM x 2 today, TD x 1, WM and TD both loaded ready to go on in the morning. DW finished with all tonight's dinner pots so kitchen is not too bad apart from the HUGE bag of plastic recycling that is ready to go to Mr M's next time I am passing.

All in all quite a few dots joined today, here's hoping tomorrow is as good although the main task is getting the tree down whilst Miss A and W are at school. I need to put the pedometer back on as well now we are back into a normal routine.
