We don't really get scale here, but vinegar is good for kettle etc, don't know about the iron though your clothes would stink, there must be some sort of shop bought stuff for it?It's what is inside your head that matters in life - not what's outside your windowEvery worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. - Ghandi0 -

Evening all
I'm in again this week but I'll have slightly different lists [adapting the proper lists to suit] as the home is looking jaded and tired so time for a massive clearout and a spruce up session, so I'll be flying but taking each room a day at a time and being ruthless with the chucking out.
Hugs to all the poorlies, welcome to all the new people
Sexy - I totally agree with what everyone else has said, its your day so concentrate on that, my Mum said "I hope you said no" when I told her that DH had proposed - she has come round now cos he's lovely but as far as I was concerned I was doing it anyway!
Thanks to the lovely 3 for the thread
See you all in the morning

Thanks, our water is terrible! Will try the vinegar on the kettle. Do you need to do anything, boil it or something?
Will have to look at Tesco for stuff for the iron.

Hugs to PenPen i hope you don't stay away too long.
We ended up having the BBQ after all, with our coats on.:cool: It was very nice but i'm so stuffed now. I made everyone help clear up the garden and then i washed up. I've also defrosted the little freezer as it wouldn't shut, made Ds1's lunch for tomorrow, tidied & hoovered the living room again & cleared my ironing basket.

Evening all
Heavy rain this afternoon shortened my list, as I couldn't get out into the garden, but I still didn't get everything done. Somebody posted towards the end of the last thread about their perpetual optimism regarding their ability to keep up with flying - that's exactly how I feel.
So, a fresh start tomorrow. Thanks to pigpen et al for this thread. It's going to be a busy week with a parents' evening on Wednesday, but not as bad as the last one, where I had to go out straight from work most nights. I've still got some washing to catch up with, but otherwise the kitchen will be a good place to start (as it needs it badly).

Triker - Could I possibly pester you for another recipe (or a link)? There are some Bramley apples in my kitchen which could be decluttered in that Norwegian apple cake you mentioned.0 -
Evening all, I am in again this week. Haven't caught up on last weeks thread yet but hope you feel better soon MSD.
Toots - I tend to post on a Sunday and then just follow the thread for the rest of the week so please dont think I have vanished :rotfl:I am still here but I cant read and fly and post so just stick to reading and flying :A x x x
