    Oh I need a reminder please......when clearing out the fridge last night,I still have a box of Trex BB end Oct so I need to make mince pies before then and freeze if some one can remind me nearer the time :rotfl::rotfl:

    You'll be lucky... it's all I can do to remember what I'm in the kitchen for:D Can you pop it on a calendar along with the insurance renewal dates?;)

    And thanks for the poster who said ebay now take 10% of final fees: that's helped me with the sorting out for the Bar Boot. (Like a car boot but in a pub, undercover and only between 1 and 5pm. Civilised!) I still need to do some listing, hopefully on the free days this weekend. I may not manage that one; however, the stuff I want to list is on the top of the hillock so, who knows?

    List for today, after leaving work:
    Grab polling cards from board in hallway
    Escort poorly boyfriend to polling station
    Buy him biscuits and make a cup of tea because it's such an effort and he's so poorly....:rotfl:
    Continue packing for Saturday's Bar Boot (SBB)
    1 x WM and HHI for SBB
    Collect dress rail for SBB
    Ask neighbours about spare coathangers for SBB
    Pester organiser of SBB about space and arrival time!
    Parcel an Amazon sale to post on Friday.

    Soappie - have a fabby dabby holiday and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for sun for my solar powered friend x

    Going to put some voting posters up in the garden to wind the neighbours up and then off I go to dust the last 2 bedrooms and s&s the bath and shower rooms

    I should have said "I can't believe its not butter" is what I used, not sure if thats classed as marg as its not butter :rotfl::rotfl:Will maybe try using the hard block stuff next time, Mr A used to have one called "just for baking" and it was fab :)
    You need something that's suitable for baking - hard or soft doesn't matter as long as it's the right stuff... I can't beleive it's not butter is NOT the right stuff... (how anyone could mistake it for butter is beyond me :o).

    Monday - Sitting Room and Hallway
    DONE!
    Tuesday ~ Kitchen and Dining room
    Level Three
    clean oven
    Wednesday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing

    Level 3
    Sort through a cupboard and find 10 things to get rid of!
    Extras
    1. binbag dance
    2. Do half hour clearing of the place you hate doing the most..
    Thursday - Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
    DONE!


    Hmmm I'm quite proud of myself this week - seeing as it's my first week of fly - and I've done loads more housework than usual. Plus it's not even 11 am and I'm sat down with a cuppa Lady Grey waiting for the kitchen and bathroom floors to dry.


    And it hasn't been too much hard work... though still have that pesky oven to clean - might leave that till next week - it didn't get dirty in a day so another week means I'll be able to buy some soda crystals/oven mate/astonish and really attack it :p

    Have even tidied my undies drawer and t-shirt drawer... just a humungous wardrobe and bedside cabinet to go :o
    working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?
