    Wipe and water and furry plants - what are furry pants?

    Furry plants are ones that need dusting or wiping.

    Furry Pants, on the other hand...:D

    I am feeling muddled.

    Yesterday I wasn’t sure whether I had training or not yesterday evening until late on (not my fault) so although I was home by 9.00 pm (picking up my 1p/litre off diesel at Asda’s en route) I didn’t do anything – not even my sandwiches, which I’m really trying to make a ‘rule’.

    But then I thought and decided that before and after work I had emptied and refilled the WM, filled the airer (or maiden – but I’m not sure whether that’s my southern or northern roots that have given me that one) emptied the DW in two phases, washed up miscellaneous pots which had bred since Sunday night, had a quick tidy round, emptied out the rubbish bins - oh, and made my sandwiches for Monday!

    But I’m muddled ‘cause OH was at home all yesterday and could have done at least all that for me yesterday – in fact he even had to go to the chippy to collect dinner ‘cause he’d not taken anything out of the freezer and nothing else prepared either. Whinge, moan, there has to be a way of educating him but I’m obviously no good at it ‘cause I’ve tried it before!

    Tonight I’m home so will be flying – after a visit to Mr T and Mr I. Tomorrow and Thursday are spoken for so will be dailies only. Saturday I am still planning on opening the door on RoD No 1!

    Off to pick up Tuesday's list. :)

    Bella, try baby wipes or wd40, but Mum is right, magic sponges really work, its worth keeping one in for all the budding artists in the family x
