    Well I found the rest of the floor and hoovered it. Now need to find a plastic box for all the lego. I also folded the clothes from out of the TD. DW is on (did I say that before?!) Also checked online banking and decluttered a programme from the HHD.

    Another HHC at 10.45?

    OS I know what you mean about the purple list, if you are happy to amalgamate them both then that would be great. Many Thanks


    Will join in the HHC :D got just over a week to get the house spotless and decluttered. im really a messy pup at heart :rotfl:

  • can you not just do a bechemel sauce/white sauce instead of a cheese sauce. sometimes i prefer a white sauce when i do brocolli cheese (dont like cauliflower).
    you could add herbs/spice to a white sauce to hide the cauli flavour a bit. I often add mustard or turmeric as well as parsley or corriander, how about curry:eek:

    My only concern is the same thing will happen again....never mind think I am just splitting hairs....as long as we know we are doing it I am not sure we need a long list anway ? xxx

    Not that smart, just used to editing lots of lists into one:rotfl:


    I'll join in with the HHC at 10.45. I'll save the putting something purple on until I'm done. I'm going to paint my nails purple and keep them that way all week :D I'll light my candle when I'm done - don't want to knock a lit candle over which the way my luck is going today....:o

    Morning all, thanks for the lists Pigpen and the meeting and greeting and keeping us in line Toots. That was a sobering thing to find when I was looking for the new thread and so I send my heartfelt thoughts, prayers and condolences to all who knew and loved Diva. Best wishes to all flypeeps too. :(

    Count me in on the purple list completion for Diva:-

    Big house day: our architect is coming....so I did masses last night. I failed to clear the utility of laundry and the stairs of junk....and my desk...groaning under the weight of things to be sorted out.

    dh says he should be seeing how we live and where the house fails to help us (or where I fail to help the house!)

    Just been reading through the messages about Diva, still can't believe it. Such sad news

    Anyway I've finished Purple Monday, kitchen is also done, hall and stairs done and now it's time to get some studying done today. Got a stonking hangover after a great reunion yesterday, but I shall not let self pity get in the way today.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
