    [/STRIKE]I did pretty well today - got all of level 1 & 2 done (will probably save most level threes til Friday).

    Got into trouble with OH over cleaning soft furnishings though - I decided to wash our bean chair cover for the first time. Unfortunately this meant fillimg three bin bags with beans - got called all sorts of names and threatened with abandonment for roping him in to help :rotfl:. Evem more unfortunately, I may have broken the washing machine by overloading it with bean chair cover and throw from sofa (hoping it was just throwing a wobbler otherwise I'm in trouble :rotfl:

    I feel that I'm seen as a bit of an outsider (I appreciate that my Special Buddies don;t feel like that, but lots do :p not a problem, as I've said).

    You can stop it right now:naughty:
    I certainly dont see you as an outsider, I quite like you:p

    Are you scared now?:rotfl::rotfl:

    I believe there are some Yankee candle fans on here & I'd like to ask a daft question. I treated myself to a burner & some wax tarts, the scent is great, very strong, but does the wax evaporate? It says the scent lasts for 8 hours, so do I throw the wax away after 8 hours?
    me me me me:j:j:j:j:j:j

    See I can do useful as well;)

    Once the wax has almost gone, as you dont want it to burn out and explode...not saying it would but I wouldnt take the chance:D

    I feel as if I am starting to see the end of the cluttered tunnel - not done much in the house today as I have been at work, but I have managed to fit in an hour at the gym tonight in an attempt to start to work at strengthening my back and loose some weight. Have managed to keep the kitchen work surface clean and tidy.
    Kitchen floor got a present of extra biscuit crumbs today when the dog deciding she didn't like being at home on her own, found a half eaten box of cookies and finished them off herself and then demanded her tea!

    He has them fri-sun every other weekend and wants them a Monday night after school the weeks in between but refuses to pick them up from school so they will be shattered and miserable all week now.. why he can't just have them a few hours on a saturday or sunday is beyond me.. it isn't like he has naything else to do if you listen to him!

    Glad DH is on the mend..

    OH emptied all the upstairs bins today.. :D.. and threw the small pinks in bed.. they wouldn't let me take them and DD3 refused to get in bed until he had kissed her goodnight... Sometimes I feel neglected!
