How do you clean sticky light swiches? I usually use a damp cloth with a bit of stardrops on it. Suddenly I have lots of sticky light switches. Not sure who is the culprit but the fridge door handle was sticky too

Well, with your username I don't suppose somebody's had their paws in the honey jar do you? :rotfl:

Have you tried a wet wipe?

Chloris

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays list are done, bar keyboard and HHI. Have managed some of Thursdays too. I am trying to get ahead of myself as DS2 has an appointment tomorrow in town so we will do some shopping either side of it. Present shopping always leaves me wiped out for the rest of the day but I am determined to finish it before December.

Pigpen well done on your self-control!
Mummyof5 hope you are all feeling better soon.
jenagain hope the dizziness passes
Hellyboo I don't know whats wrong with your baby or how old he is but you might be able to stagger giving calpol and infant nurofen. Double check with pharmacist.

Hugs and spoons to everyone.

Poohbear -just posting to say that is wonderful news, I was wondering about the outcome the other day

I have sorted out the recycling, shoved towels in the WM and made a start on S&Sing the kitchen.

Pigpen~ I would loved to have seen it, (is that mean of me) next time can I be a fly on the wall. IMO 5 years olds say all sorts of things that are not true, but they don't mean to lie, and they don't understand sometimes that saying such things can cause problems else where.

I got all excited then when I logged in, I have a pm from 'webby' , my thoughts were the powers that be want me / or what have I done to get a pm off some one so important~~~sadly it seems we all have one!. I haven't had one of these spam emails, I not sure if I feel left out or not! for this site, I have a different email than my normal one, plus only this site I use this user ID.


oven cleaning!!

Thanks, he is teething and had jabs yesterday, so that's why he's a grot bag. I think you can give infant nurofen from 3 months (he's 4 months) but I only have non-branded children's ibuprofen which says from 6 months. I woke him up because he'd slept for 2 hours and I was getting worried and since then he's downed a bottle, decluttered a very green, smelly, runny poo into his nappy and is now laying on his playmat on the floor having just discovered he's got feet! He's fine at the moment, and less than 2 hours until bedtime, so hopefully he can hold out until then!

I've managed nothing but the washing today. Hubby's laptop needed sorted so i've been over to the techie board and now it's now up and running again but did take most of the day.

DD still very sick and has slept most of the day, Rhys like a little bull (side teeth appearing). Boys were suppose to go to BB but rooms a mess and i'm sick of telling them if it's not done, your not going and then taking them anyway. So foot is firmly down tonight and the same goes for tomorrow night for 10 pin bowling. :mad: They will learn.

Dinner on now, recycling needs to go out, wm needs reloaded as does td.
