    The kitchen is taking longer than I'd planned :( (that'll be teenagers baking, then :) ) so I'm going to complete in there, as long as it takes, so will match your HHC again :D Going to make coffee to have while I work ;)

  • Hello everyone :)

    Ok so first proper day with you lovely people! I hope all your days are going well.

    Today so far I have cleaned out the microwave and baked bread! lol I need to get moving I think!

    I am going to start bagging up stuff in my eldest's room as she has all about left home and taken what she wants with her :( And I want to wash my kitchen floor today after I put tonights pie for dinner together and knock up a quick lemon drizzle cake.

    Morning Flyladys went to bed lastnight to find a MASSIVE spider on the side of the bed :eek::eek::eek: it was huge do u have any tips to reduce spiders, alot of the time i just pull my curtains back and my mum said it was prob so big as the grow in dark rooms or something, now i feel like my bedroom is so dirty. I do like to have the windows open quite a bit in my house so might invest in some of that window net. gonna give the room a big clean tonight any tips would be great

    Spiders don't like dirty rooms.. so your house isn't dirty.. it may have lots of lovely snuggly hiding places though :D

    they don't like being vacuumed or beaten with a large shoe either. I have them removed and thown over the wall so they go in next doors house and leave mine alone.. or the cats eat them.. lol

    my friend gets some spider repellant spray from ebay which she thinks is amazing.. i shall go search.. one sec...

  • OK I have a project.

    So I need to tidy up/clutter clear/re-arrange a space downstairs so I can set up the lap-top.
    Trouble is as soon as you move something from A to B you have to sort B to make space there - this could be a longer job than I thought :rotfl:
