    Well we'd sure make a better job of it than the shower we have as MPs. Of any colour. Honestly, I think the whole bunch of them need a kick up the proverbial.

    Oooh wednesday is kids room day. I don't do that. I think they are plenty old enough to be doing it themselves, OH disagrees - so he does it :D

    But I wouldn't push it by giving him a list ;)

    So will catch up on the missed tasks and try and declutter (and now I have ovenpride, I might contemplate tackling the oven.


    Here's a question, if an oven is meant to be self cleaning, why do you have to clean it?????

    Just been fiddling around and found a way of seeing who posts the most in the thread :rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl:

    Glad to see for once in my life I have NOT lived up to my name (so given when I was in the pram) as Heather the Bleather
    FFP continued (((hugs))) I wish the weather was better so we could get outside again!

    I have been good I have been out everyday even if only for 5 minutes. Rain, hail or shine but I have to say it's been not too bad here. I was wondering why I hadn't seen the nutty nurse so I phoned yesterday for her to tell me I had been discharged so phoned Dr and complained so back on the nutty list! PM is coming just not had the chance today.
    I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged
