    So far done not very much, except work! Just had a longish msn conversation about how to deal with child abduction :eek:

    Thanks for the link Greenbee and inspiration vibes coming your way. Not sure how it happens shrug.gif - just woke up that way this morning!

    Sounds like you're having a productive morning. I need to get my act together. I usually find that inspiration strikes if I go for a walk ... so I carry my blackberry EVERYWHERE in case I need to make notes!

    Breakfast eaten, so need to do a bit of clearing up, get dressed and go to either the shop (bread) or post office (still a few christmas presents lurking about that I want to get rid of). I'll do the other at lunchtime... Having read the notes on my calls today I think I'd better do a bit of prep too :o

    Morning all, In again this week, thanks Pigpen, Soappie and Toottifrootti :T

    Happy Birthday to Thifty and Vanilla _party_

    Thanks for the advice yesterday Greenbee, do try the spray and leave stuff but got sick of sound of own voice reminding them to use it so now generally try to shower last, give it a wipe down before getting out and give it a little spray but still the orange stuff grows while I'm not looking :eek:.

    Plus I know how a bad memory can tarnish a place Soappie, I had a very nasty accident on a push bike in Clumber and had to hobble to the first aid room with only one shoe (couldn't find the other one anywhere :rotfl: ) and blood pouring down self from nasty gouge on shin, I think I still have some embedded gravel, not really a momento you would want :D

    Off to do lists now, hugs to everyone that needs them.

    Thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Soappie for the lists and stars, and to everyone else for the support.

    Hello to the newbies.

    Happy Birthday Vanilla.

    Good, glad it is the kitchen. I have yesterdays excesses to clean up from. Half term so I have the boys, we need to make a plan.
