Miss H hope she is feeling much better and welcome home

Vanilla Happy Birthday to Rhys

newlywed

Well I'm back from the shops and have exciting things like a new mophead, some scrubby sponges and some carpet shampoo :rotfl:

but there was no astonish stuff - where do you get it from?

I got a magic eraser, thought I'd give it the ultimate test = the oven :rotfl:

Off to take the soaking oven shelve out of their stardrops bath and then clean the bath again




On the other hand... I did have a phone message asking me to an interview tomorrow - just need to arrange a time with them.

the story so far.....

.....OH came in while I was in clearing my room of doom, I politely drew my eyes off him and he went and got a screwdriver and sorted the drawers;). I then gave him a bin bag and told him to sort out his clothes or I would, so I now have 5 bags for charity shop, and 1 for the skip *fling, fling* I then decluttered him back to work as he only had an hour and a half off:D Beds stripped and some in WM some in TD. Curtains down and will be in next load. I have a floor and I will hoover it in a mo after I dust. I have just realised my room is massive:o

Trying to decide where the line falls between MSE recycling wrapping/packing stuff and hoarding stuff you will never use (mainly because you have forgotten you saved it)

When you find the line could you nip round here and draw one for me???:o

Just having a nicotine/caffine break and then I'll start again. Anyone up for a HHC at 4.15pm ????????????

They are laying like good uns :T We have 5 hens and average 4 eggs a day :T They are the beautiful eggs and my sponge cakes are the yellowest ever :T I'm going to make a Victoria sponge and some cranberry and orange brownies now, with the bread rolls I stared this morning.

OOhh I would love to keep chickens but I think a combination of lack of space, kid's, a large dog and next doors cat may stop that idea. That and we live near some woods so get foxes from time to time:(

I have just had the most unproductive HHC ever. I folded 5 pieces of washing and spent 10 minutes trying to wake up DS. He was at a sleep over last night with 8 other boys so he is a bit tired!

ETA Sorry to all those who didn't clean their ovens for getting you into trouble:o Mine is very shiny though:rotfl:
