    BB i sympathise on the td mine broke down and i was distraught took a week for repair man to get parts and fix it. I made sure oh and the boys pegged the washing out it drove em mad lol they were happy when it was fixed.
    when the dw broke my oh said we didn't need another we could do it by hand. I developed an allergy to washing up liquid ( not really) but in less than 2 weeks him and the boys had been out and picked up a shiny new one.

    I haven't been to leeds market for years but it used to be really good.

    Hi everyone

    You've all been very bust today, well done

    Hello to all the new people

    Hugs to poorlies and there kiddies - ear infections are the pits and the DR sounded like he was carp

    Spent most of the day at the Lottie, planting and weeding and DH did lot of digging

    Came home, picked up kiddies, watched Dr Who and have had tea

    Tomorrow - back up the lottie for a very quick visit, over to Mums, up the shops, home and some housework and helping Dd and DS with homework

    I won a Dresser Top on fleabay today - will go over the Radiator in the Kitchen - pine [will paint it] and I got it for £1 - just need to pick it up, I'm very excited. I've texted the lady about picking it up but she hasn't responded yet so I'm hoping that we can get it tomorrow and that she hasn't changed her mind.

    See ya laters gators

    well certainly feels like it sometimes womens work is never done.we live in a very tiny house that gets messed up quick and sometimesi get in a super cleaning mood and wizz through and everything gets done but then at other times i get fed up with it when i feel like that which is probably because i get cheesed off with doing the same thing, what i do is when i cant be asked with polish this sparkle that . i just dowhat i call the main bits no 1 i make sure toilet cleaner quirted down the loo and its had a freshen up takes a minute then fill bath up with disinfectant and water give it soak smells nice freshens its self.empty water etc no2 put washing on dry dont bother with ironing unless really creased just get the washing clean and dry.no3 if you feel bit under the weather sit onthe sofa and do a bit of stick hoovering with the end of the hoover five minutes keeps dust at bay. well definitelt]y time for a cup of tea and biscuit:rotfl:well even now so far you have freshened the loo and bath .vacummed and put the washing on and had a nice cup of tea.next job spray a little bit of morrisons brand pot pourri airfreshener makes any home smell wonderful takes 5 seconds . no4 put rubbish out takes 2 minutes no5 do little bit washing up and drying up five minutes then have a break and watch favorite programme and lastly tea make simple tea jacket potatoe and beans . when i have no interest in household chores i do easy instant jobs this stops you from feeling overwhelmed with housework and for me it makes me feellike im getting somewhere with it all , and actuallyjust doing these chores makes me feel incedibly house proud as i know i shall never be an house keeper like mrs doubtfire but i am making some effort to keep the wolf fromthe door so if the kitchen smells lovely jolly well done me for making it smell nice;)
