    Debt-free and Proud!
    Good morning all, thanks to FCC for the forum and keeping us on the clean and tidy. I'll be in again this week and I might actually do Pigpen's lists for the first time since November. Everyone tidy and cleanish but it's those extras that add up to a super clean house and a happy Lemanie.

    Hugs, best wishes and warm thoughts and prayers to all in need.

    See you later x

  • Just thought I'd post as I've made me self have fits of giggles...
    Shall we call it a blonde moment?? :rotfl:

    I was bad and hadnt touched the kitchen after yesterday's tea which was a belated sunday lunch.
    I'd piled everything in the sink, so I took everything out of the sink, cleaned it and started filling it with hot water.
    I have a bright idea - I'll put the meat cutting board in the sink whilst it's filling.

    Well all I can say is now I dont need a bucket to mop the floor :rotfl:
    I slip the board into the sink, the water hits it and sprays EVERYWHERE.
    All over me, the window, the work surfaces and the floor :rotfl:
    Of course I'm extra dippy at the moment and couldn't think to take the board out, I'm stood at the sink with my eyes scrunched closed flailing around trying to find the tap whilst getting wetter and wetter :rotfl:I look like I've been on the losing end of a water fight.

    Right, so now I'm changed and no longer look like I'm auditioning for a wet T-shirt competition. I think I need a coffee :rotfl:
    I best mop up all this water whilst the the kettle boils :T
    Ohhh dear - hope it's not a sign of the week to come :)

  • i'm in again!

    Got to rescue the dining room - DD2 finished her photography project late last night.....

    I've been Money Tipped!
    it's worse than having a baby


    There are some of us who do very little flying when the sun is out :j if you are enjoying the garden you don't see the dust inside ;)


    Oh good! My plan is to get the ''receptions'' clean in the spring clean then lick and promise them through summer then. :) we have a new garden and its big, just over an acre. Takes me AGES to cut the grass. If I could train grazing animals not to eat the plants we're planting I'd get some lawn ponies or goats or sheep.

    Trying to fly again this week. Managed 2 very good days last week - then things rather went to pot. But the house still looks better so I'm looking at the bright side.

    Thank you - you gave me a fit of the giggles too - just what I needed to start my morning.
    I've only done it with a spoon - cutting board would be much more effective :rotfl:
