Hi

We went to the climbing place and had to book for us to go. So we went to get me some new shoes cos my shoes were to small for me so i got some new trainers.We had lunch at Mr M's then we went climbing.:D:D:D

Tonight Mum and I have been very very very very busy.

We have cleaned and defrosted the freezer - someone made an inventory.
We have emptied the cupboard under the sink and put every thing back tidy.
We have changed the ironing board cover and I cleaned the legs on it.
Mum changed the cooker hood filter.:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

Today we posted 13 eBay sales:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

The adults are now too tired to do any more so we are going to bed soon:):)

Hope you have all had a nice day:D:D:D

You have been busy :T:T:T:T:T
Does this mean that "someone's" list is getting shorter?

Well done, Miss A and everyone else. I'm glad you are having a great time.

Sometimes the universe moves very fast. A little cat has been hanging around outside our house since teatime. DS1 and I have just coaxed it in to feed and water it, but it won't stay inside. I can't decide if it behaves like a stray of if it is just lost and very shy.

I've moved the bowl outside now and it's stopped miaowing, so it was probably just hungry. Guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow - probably phone the RSPCA to start with.

to clean a microwave put a slice of lemon in a microwaveable cup and nuke for 2/3 minutes AND LEAVE - even if it 'bangs'

after 5 minutes open, remove turntable etc and wipe out.

When a MW 'bangs' what does it usually signify? I've always wondered what I am supposed to do, if anything.

Hugs for mrs toast hope your OH finds something else soon
Glad Miss A, & Master W, & their mum are having a good time
Anyone heard from kassey?
Am v confident that Greenbee can sort out the work in time - as has already been said by Mrs C(?) you've recognised the potential problem in time to do something about it. So now all you have to do is... Do it!

Not too much achieved here but have done the dailies, at least. Do feel like I'm on the verge of throwing all my toys out of the pram though and I'm not even hormonal! DH & I had a big talk about money (the lack thereof) at the w/e & decided that we couldn't afford to go see my parents in Portugal before the summer. And now parents are v upset, & want us to come out for a long w/e before that. I'm sooo fed up .. If we go more than once we'd have to put it on a card, & we're trying to sort ours out. No easy solution I know but needed to vent - sorry.

Bed now .. Night all x

Hi everyone things are getting a bit hectic just now and have to find a routine so thought I would join you all. Managed to complete all todays tasks and also finish the washing/ironing. For tomorrow can anyone suggest the best way to clean my oven, it has been a long time since it has a thorough clean.

At least you have recognised this early enough and you are good at action planning, interim deadlines etc. You can get back on track. On a positive note, you have lots of stuff in the freezer for almost instant meals, so you can focus on your work.

Need to meal plan for that to work... but today's stuff done, including a first draft on one thing I'd forgotten about. Tomorrow I want to get some stuff down on the two things for April, but also get the meal planning, some cooking, laundry and housework under control. So I'm off to bed, in the hope that I'll get up when the alarm goes off instead of trying to ignore it In theory I should be able to get a couple of loads of laundry done before work, and then alternate work/non-work stuff through the day to get through it.

stuff's hot - I usually just stop it BUT leave it for a short time;) or as Piggers says, stuff not correctly (ie centrally) positioned

it's because stuff in the MW can 'hotspot'
when I am using it for my haute cuisine (I swear by the MW for custard, porridge, scrambled egg and sauces) I do LOTS of stop and stir
my sister cooks rice and pasta in the MW very succesfully.
