    okay girlies - no oven cleaner (not that I like the nasties in it anyway)
    Whats the best thing to scrub it with?
    Glass oven door is the thing thats making me think things are nicely browned when they arent :eek:

    Now to go excavate the sink! so I can do some washing up and clear down the tops.

    Ohh anyone doing a special meal tonight?
    I know I want to make panacotta, he's mentioned steak but I'm not sure, I cant get to the butcher and dont wanna pay that much for supermarket steak. Was thinking beef burginoin (spelling??)

    Ideas?

    Newbie here joining in

    Will probably be just level 1 plus some decluttering, but will see how I go. Hopefully this will help me focus on getting stuff done instead of procrastinating as it just seems overwhelming

    thank you

    Hiya PaddyPaws have a xmas tree:xmastree:so Toots can find you and send you the official welcome :)
    As a certain supermarket says, every little helps - it's been a great help to me :)

    I'm out of bed now :p windows open, one load of laundry in, breakfast being made, and bits of tidying being done. Will get dressed after breakfast and then deal with rubbish and recycling. I also have some stuff to post so a short walk may be in order. First meeting is at 10am so I have a bit of time.

    Sun is shining, so hopefully it will be a nice day.
    Morning greenbee :hello:
    Sunshine does help doesn't it (wish we had some this morning)

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTB2pdD3Y1UD2s8WQZ99DXk5QJJFDwM84o8A1skkdmIXSq10WTSNg&t=1 Happy Birthday Dusty - hope you have a fantastic day!

    So far today, I've had breakfast, put a few bits of laundry away, and despaired at Little Black Furry! I had put the covers on my bed back so that it could air, and came down for breakfast (cat was out so I thought it'd be safe) ... a few minutes later I heard him heading upstairs - great I thought - he'll put muddy pawprints all over the inside of the bed! Came upstairs to check, and find him curled up right on top of the folded over part! :rotfl:I hadn't the heart to move him, and besides, the damage will already have been done.

    Got the morning off today, but just had a call to work this afternoon, so need to get a wriggle on with cleaning and laundry this morning. Luckily I did some of today's list yesterday as the kitchen was a pit, and my Mum was coming over (she never went in there in the end, but at least it was done in case she had).

    So, who is up for a HHC 9-9.30 then?
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Happy Birthday Dusty :bdaycake: have a super day! xx

    Paulie - I just use neat washing up liquid on mine when there's nothing stronger around, it takes the thick off at least.

    Toots can't remember which number it was on your list but, yes you can use expanding foam to fill gaps and draughts, it's fab actually x

    Lou Good Luck on your first day x

    Greenbee you sound much brighter this morning, it's so good to hear x
    Good Luck with the new kitchen roof Boddy hope it doesn't cause too much mess.

    Got work shortly but I've already been busy, done pack-ups, been to shop as ran out of Gas, loaded DW, S&S'd the kitchen, made beds and flung open windows, the sun is shining :j

    Got a few errands to do straight after work, car related, then will do some list when I get back.
