    Well for saying it's Thursday my house looks okay! after my HUGE blitz last Saturday I have kept on top of it and I am happy with the way the house looks :) have even done a load of washing instead of leaving it until Saturday
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Finally got my results! Was worried i was going to break the refresh button on my computer:rotfl: Didn't do too badly, got an A, a B and a C in the end. Could have been worse!
    Do need to knuckle down next year though, marks in 3rd year will count toward my degree classification.

    My iron has just about had it so I need a new one. I know you all love ironing :D so what do you have and would you recommend it.

    I have small hands so need something with a comfy grip.

    Does anyone know if I can wash the vertical blinds in the conseratory in the washing machine. The thought of doing them by hand makes me want to cry! Was thinking of trying one on a delicates watch....any thoughts.

    Off to have a bath as i'm filthy and I want to claim the first bath, lol!

    Sorry to post and run but not having much time to read at the moment. Speak soon and hugs to everyone xx

    ETA - just found a thread on washing blinds...half say washing machine and half say don't. I'm going to risk one of them and see what happens xx


    I did my Kitchen ones in the machine and they frayed on the sides and came out a tangled mess, so did the others in the bath all I did was add a small amount of washing powder to the water left them to soak then soaked in just water and hung them on the line and they came up lovely.

    gunsandbanjos well done :T:T:T

    Natty well done your nails look lovely and so do the flowers.

    Carlsberggal Big hugs coming your way sounds like you need them hun x
