Flying - done the kiddies rooms

Toots - on your "Bloomin 'eck" list for the year - point 26 - can't you sell the CD's on fleabay instead of putting them in the garden??

Helen x

helen I should have been clearer - I am looking for cd's that are useless to put on the garden to stop the cats using my front borders as a toilet - apparently they dont like the shiny surfaces ! Yes any that are sellable will be on ebay!!
How's dad today? and is your Mum bearing up too?
love and hugs

Here's a specially appropriate smily for JojoTTF

Thanks Toots when you say white toilet soap, do you mean soap that you would put on the basin to wash your hands? I feel really ridiculous asking, but it has crossed my mind that you might be talking about some other kind of toilet soap

As part of my flying I'm decluttering and have found about 10 part balls of wool - any great ideas what I could do with them or should I just fling? Some of the wool is a bit carp, but some is really quite nice.

If you have little ones, make pompom animals

Oh, and I'm going to a HHC 4.45-5.15 before I just think 'pfffft who cares..' and do nothing for the rest of the evening! Any takers?

Going to go and wash some dishes which should hopefully clear the pile, if not then the batch after tea will clear it. Blooming saucepans take up so much room and that flipping frying pan is still proving stubbon. It is almost done though - only taken me two weeks chipping away slowly with hot water & biological powder/salt/scourer/soaking. Next time I do liver I'm using the normal & not non-stick one so I can take a knife to it if it catches :mad::mad:
