Wash with water and washing up liquid to remove stickiness... and the wul prevents condensation!

Dry or swish with a squeejee... then run over with a microfibre clotth and white vinegar.. SHINY glass!!

We are getting a mondeo. Went down to sort it all out this morning, took ages in the traffic but I shall be picking it up next Tues Miss A in particular is very excited, next task will be to organise a tow bar for it.

You could have had our Mondeo!!!! We only got rid of ours because it was getting a bit old and there was a few things going wrong with it. But we had it for 7 years and it was a good car for us.

Pigpen....hugest of hugs for Moomin. Glad she enjoyed it but shame about the pain.:( Hope she recovers quickly.

Girls now in bed and I've done a bit of flying in the kitchen so I think I'll go and find my list and update it then get stuck into Chapter 3 of my OU work.

Been out all day shopping with my lovely little girl so am afraid I have been a bad flylady:o
I have only
WM x 2
dysoned through downstairs
emptied bins
tidied craft cupboard as well as one I crossed off the list
changed tablecloth again:mad:

I need to buy a rotary dryer thingie for outside as my new house has a stupid shaped garden and I can't really hang a washing line. I need some advice on what to buy and more importantly what not to buy! we are a family of 4, 2 small kids , one set of washable nappies so I do at least one load a day. My garden is a fair size but is sloping, mixture of grass and paving.

Hex and Sarah Happy Birthday

DS3 yelled at for being a little sheet.. He said he hates me, I said I hate the way he behaves and if he doesn't stop spekaing to me like he has been doing he will be choking on my fist as I remove his larynx!!!

oh yeah.. ice skating.. Moomin has been ice skating today with school.. they are going the next 3 Wednesdays too.. anyway.. they took her insoles from her shoes and put them in the ice skates.. they even remembered to put them back in her boots when they brought her back.

This is the one with cerebral palsy and hypermobility and the leg length discrepancy.. She has now been calpolled for the back pain she has brought home too.. It obviously means she cannot be an hour doing physical stuff without her shoe raise.. which is not transferable.. She only fell twice she said and was really pleased with that and the staff had been told not to hold her up if she fell but to let her fall so they didn't dislocate any joints..

I will mention to the teacher about her back pain.. it usually takes a few days to wear off.. but the CP hasn't ever really caused her to be 'unable' to do anything before.. I know she is able but is in such pain it isn't something she could do just for fun..

Ok.. I've waffled...

I so enjoy your posts piggers, the way you write things down I can actually imagine them :rotfl::rotfl:

Glad your moomin had fun ice skating but sorry she has to suffer the consequenes (sp)

My keyboard keeps missing out random letters so its taking ages to type anything there are no crumbs or anything, its like I am typing too fast for it to keep up :huh:

We had a nice day but a dampener was kinda put on it as DH is spitting peas about his new rota, its now making him work 3 out of 4 weekends (only time I am off) so union, management etc were calling him when we were eating our pizza but he is fighting his corner :T:T

thrifty I used to have one from argos, the biggest and most expensive but was worth it , we were a family of 5. My sister bought a cheaper one and ended up with it half on the floor and the lines really saggy. Just make sure you put it in the ground properly and cement it in
