  • Today's mission, Flyagents, is 10 mins in your bathroom, slinging unwanted cosmetics and perfume!

    Lynz, take a well-earned rest (I'll have a virtual glass with you later!), and Flyboy, jump to it!

    I've just done 15 mins cleaning the kitchen, 15mins sorting my bills and credit cards, and 15 mins ironing. I'm off for a cup of coffee.

    Great news Lynz - champers I think - or maybe we should wait till it's sold. ;) Don't forget to negotiate the estate agents fee - OH got our estate agent down to 1.5% as we sold and bought through them.

    Just popped on to say hello while giving DS lunch before taking him back to pre-school. Got a third of the ironing done (DS's clothes) and half way through Grey's Anatomy!

    Agent Pen Pen - I don't need to 'fling' my cosmetics - I did It last time we visited the bathroom and have not added to them. Am neglecting bathroom though :o

    Laters... Punky xx

    Lynz- Well done you!!

    TNG - Interesting, we have trodden similar paths. I am Durham/Teesside/Cleveland born and bred (the boundaries moved, not me!), then lived in Herts for nearly 20 years before returning to the area.

    Pen-Pen - couldn't resist coming over here after your references to it.......! BTW my damson jam is going down a treat! Thanks!!






    Hi folks, sorry to miss posting for a day or so - completed the list (just about), then felled by rotten headcold. So........ it's back to the drawing board.

    Away for weekend (to Shropshire) so have to:

    1. pack items for weekend - must remember walking boots!
    2. Make up bed ready for return (so I can fall into it after our walking!)
    3. Empty bins - DRAT!!! forgot to put the wheelie bin out and they are collecting today :mad:
    4. Warm evening meal that is currently defrosting while I am at w**k.
    5. Clean down kitchen and mop floor
    6. Clean downstairs loo
    7. Sit down with glass of red wine

    I like the sound of the challenge!! My cupboards are crying out to be emptied and swished through!!!!!!!!!!

    Ooh, by the way, I am about to clear out my makeup/toiletries stuff and take it all to the local women's refuge. They appreciate it hugely - even if it is half used (appreciate that this is not totally hygenic, but these ladies end up on their doorstep with literally nothing) Unused toiletries can also be parcelled to give to someone for Xmas. Also, my old business suits/clothes go to a local charity which helps women get back into education and ultimately jobs. If you are in the NE, pm me and I can give you details.

    Must fly......

    Hi Jan

    Great idea to take old toiletries / cosmetics to women's refuge. I used to do some work for Berkshire Women's Aid and they were always grateful for toiletries and toys for the women and children in the refuge. May take another look at what I've got...

    Still working my way through the ironing then flitting around the house when I get a bit bored with it.

    Want some motivation - watch How Clean Is Your House! Videoed it from last night and watching it now :eek: hope I never get like that.

    Hi, Punky! I record HCIYH and then watch it with the children. Their chice - not mine, btw :D I like Kim and Aggie, as they seem to care about their people, unlike the witch who's on afterwards (which we don't watch any more).

    Will look forward to it.

    Edit - TNG :naughty::naughty::naughty:Punky is simply doing important research into what will happen without us :D
