I use soapnuts and find them really kind. You probably know I have severe psoriasis, and they do not cause a reaction. DS1 also reacts with a rash to certain washing powders and he's ok with them too.

Me too sockdrawer (have you come across http://www.psoriasis-help.org.uk/community/ , fabulous help and support) makes for a lot more sweeping and hoovering doesn't it! I use ecoballs which are also leave bedding & clothing etc more comfortable on my skin.

Thanks for the tip and the website Brighton belle I'm off to have a look at it now. I will give the ecoballs a try, I know my friend has some she never uses, so they might be good along with the soapnuts for whites. Yes, definitely a lot more sweeping, hoovering, and bed-changing! One reason why I find FL so helpful in keeping me on track!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I've done really well but didn't have to go to work today!

Mananged more than I hoped and properly cleared and sorted sides rather than merely moved things! Did mean four trips up and down to bins (mainly with recycling) Shame I made the news years resolution to use the stairs - its four flights :rotfl:

Feels a bit of a cheat with last one as I did it yesterday by chance but hey ho!

Seafarers - just wanted to say something as its sounds like you're having a rough time. As a fellow Ben and Jerry's fan I hope it makes things bit better

hi

i am in this week but until kids back at school and i can lock dh in his office then things are not going to improve round here....

DH is helping me today to get things straight and ready for kids to go back to school - but he is making more work for me - empting out drawers and then abandoning them etc.... and tidying up -which means just moving things to the side of the room in his view:mad:

so unless i have a major energy boost once kids in bed - i will have to just start mondays list again tomorrow...

but things i must do tonight are...

get uniforms ready for tomorrow,

BM on for packed lunches

make flapjacks for packed lunches

find school coats, hats, gloves, shoes etc

make DS bed up

WM been on 3 times today so lots to put away tomorrow ( i don't iron so that is one less thing to hassle me)

see you all tomorrow

Seafarers: ruddy hell, he didn't think before he sent that email, did he? I mean, he thought about the contents but not the emotional impact. (Rolls eyes)
Hope this kitten can help.

Hi all,

I've been busy all day. Meal planned, then went to Mr T.
Put all that away and sorted out cupboards and cleaned fridge.
Took all the decs down and put them away. Vacd and dusted all downstairs.
Had a sleep
Discussed AND AGREED holidays with DH so that we can book leave this week
Ironed - still not finished it but all work stuff is done.

Just about to get chinese takeaway menu out
Back at work tomorrow, but then it's only for 3 days cos I dont work Fridays. No voluntary work this week either :T
I can devote the whole day to flying and catching up on what I don't do before then IYSWIM?

Seafarers - Men. They're a strange breed. I never know what makes them tick.
Hugs and more hugs. What will be will be......

Welcome to the newbies

Triker - my DD wil be jealous now because you haven't sent her one!

For Juliejim's DD....have a lovely birthday sweetheart.:D




Apologies for missing that it's her birthday earlier. x


Been to town and managed to get DD2 some well fitting shoes and bounciness thingys in them. Also got my watch (pressie from hubby) fitted properly and his replacement battery for his watch.

Other than that, not much, made soup, got fire going, back in jimjams as crackered.

My HHC from ages ago wasn't brilliant as I got distracted by poorly hubby and had to help him out with medicnes and suchlike.
