    Hmmmm, did better than I thought I would, especially as I only had three hours sleep last night and I've also repainted all the woodwork and panelling in the kitchen! I bet I sleep well tonight :D

    It was definately easier doing it this week as I was keeping in top of things last week.

    I'm on nights now tonight and tomorrow so when I get home tomorrow morning I will be sleeping so there won't be any cleaning! Promise to make up for it Wednesday though!

    I hope you lot all realise what you've done????

    For the first time in 4 years, no actually for the first time in my life :o,

    I HAVE CLEANED MY OVEN!!!!!

    Top oven and dreaded bottom oven! The racks and shelf holder bits are in a bag in ovenpride in the bath and the rest of the oven was cleaned with astonish (as it had less scary warnings on the pot :rotfl:) Don't worry, I didn't mix cleaning solutions ;)

    So it's not exactly sparkling clean.... but it's much more speckled and much less caked than it was before :o

    Will do it again next time it's on the list and hopefully, bit by bit it will look shiny and new :o

    Sitting with a cuppa now, recovering from the shock :D

    *wanders in, cup of coffee in hand and flings bags down like a stroppy teen*

    I am here. I have decluttered two e bay parcels and been and fetched food. Apparently we have NOTHING in AT ALL and WHAT ARE WE GOING TO HAVE FOR TEA TOMORROW (said yesterday)

    (ie no crisps biscuits or other junk)

    Total crisps biscuits or other junk bought = 0

    If 'certain people' choose to eat 3 'bar biscuits' at a time then we will RUN OUT of bar biscuits...and we have;):cool:

    I'm with Pen re the mum - silly moo - first she complains then says her son's alright with it? !!!!!!? And Piggers too. Answer questions matter-of-factly, don't make an issue of it and HOTLY deny you were s***ing at Christmas - the fact thatDS was born EXACTLY 9 months later is purely coincidental. Hauled out two full weeks late he was...so I was already PG at xmas;)

    I'm in the process of dealing with !!!!!y behaviour in my class ATM - kid gives out birthday invites then gets short shrift from a girl who didn't receive one and comes wailing to me that short-shrift girl doesn't want to be her friend 'because she didn't get an invitation but SHE never invited Me to HER party'.
    Mrs Valli points to class rules - treat others as you would like to be treated.
    Much the same as the boy who wailed he didn't get an invitation to a party 'but I invited everyone to mine' - and I am left to pick up the pieces of that one. Ho hum (I explained that as he was an only child with both parents working perhaps his parents had more money to spend on birthday parties...). What I really want to say is not for such delicate ears but basically I point out that life isn't fair...

    Anyway, I digress (not again!)

    many thanks to Flylady Central Command and hope governing the country is not proving too arduous.

    on hold to the travel team... can't imagine why they're so busy, but I kind of want to know whether they're going to do anything about my return flights... and also why I haven't received any e-tickets... (hopefully I don't need them, but it might be a bit late by the time I try to check in tonight!)

    Still haven't booked a cab, but hey, I can only make one call at a time...
