    Hi everyone,
    Havn't been flying for the last two weeks as away on hols, down in Elie in Fife, gorgeous part of the world, walking on the beach everyday, good for the soul.
    Anyway, before we left I asked husband to clear out fridge. Big mistake. Opened dorr yestersay and just about passed out. He had left in it an open pot of youghurt, open goats cheese and a bag of what the packet dais was rocket but in reality was just putrid green slime. Have put bicarb and lemon halves in fridge but in still honks. Anyone of you clever ladies have any better ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Piggers - do slow down and sit and put your feet up. Do some more knitting rather than moving stuff!

    A long day and one which saw my blood pressure peak more than once.

    Tried to syringe the medic stuff into BB's mouth this morning but she was having none of it. So, I just squirted the dose in her scrambled egg and plain boiled rice breakfast :cool: and she wolfed it down! :D

    She's not Been so I can't tell if she's still runny or not. She will have roasted chicken breast and boiled rice with a squirt of medic stuff mixed in this evening. But she's seemed a bit perkier today.

    The bit that's raised my blood pressure is a planning application. Haveing read through it all there's a serious conflict of interest and breach of parliamentary acts etc. Went over to NN's and dumped/ranted big time at her. Bless - she's going to write to David Cameron about it....

    I'm also going to write to David Cameron and phone the Attorney General AND the Treasury Solicitor....

    went to Morrisons and on way back (on road where I live) SUDDENLY ALL WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP, AN ALARM SOUNDED and STOP was flashing. So I stopped. As I switched off engine I noticed it was somewhat HOT. Mind you I had seen a puddle under radiator in shop car park and resolved to 'have a look' when I got home.
    Walked home with shopping; picked car up later and drove home.
    Would appear to have a leak in cooling system. Topped it up with 2L of water and will ring mechanic on Monday. Suddenly I cannot taxi kids about and OH had already arranged to come visit me tomorrow:D.
    Am just V. V. grateful that it got me to and from his on Thursday (especially as was very late when I got home) and to and from Meadowhall yesterday as was with DD. DS just asked for a takeaway supper but no can do as my favourite Indian doesn't deliver and I am NOT risking it (though would probably be ok;)) which suits me fine :money:;)
    I do have breakdown cover but I don't want to have to actually use it!

    Hope you're ok Triker.

    Valli~ can Ds cycle to get the takeaway, is it far?

    My car is now hoovered out, and boy did iti need it, also topped window wash bottle up.

    Soappie~ I use to mix anything I had to give the dog in his food many years ago, medical stuff, worming tablets etc, far much quicker and less stressfull all round.
    Now getting pink medicine into cat 1 via a syringe thing, was another matter, it went in the mouth exoh, let go of said cat, before it swallowed, the whole lot got shook by cat out of mouth over the kitchen, I never knew a little could go so far!!! spend the next hour cleaning the mess up / off walls etc.

    I have to get it done.. no way I'll get a thing done once baby arrives.. I was mostly supervising while laid on the bed though.. seeing as I can't lift anything.. including my feet!

    Must do a slop over the bathroom floor with the mop though it is gross and smells of wee in there.. nasty...
