I need to pick the collective flylady brain - I have a tub of Stork for baking in the fridge that went out of date on 15th Jan, it smells & looks fine, should I use it?

Absolutely.. margarine doesn't go off ever.. that is why it was invented..

Cleaned bedroom windows & dispersed the smaller of 2 major piles of bits & bobs. Visible improvement, so definitely a success. I'll tackle the remaining pile of admin / papers / receipts / books / old Xmas cards / fossilised dinosaurs (probably) / etc tomorrow.

Thanks Sockdrawer .

Did my HHC:
* I'd bought DS some new tops for summer as he's 4 and I saw the ones in his drawer were 2-3 and they'd never fit him now; so cut off tags and put them away
* Put away other clothes I found downstairs
* Tidied DD's room - this was a job and a half
* Got DD a drink and snack (not sure if this counts!)
* Rang hairdresser to book appointment for hair cut - not in so left a message

That's it. Doesn't sound a lot does it but all progress.

Going to sit down for a bit now with my coffee and in no time it'll be time to get DS from pre-school. My neighbour is coming to sit with DD whilst I'm gone (keeping DD upstairs much to her horror!)
