Dusty/Pigpen - sounds like soap is the way to go then, I just mind being forced down a route I fundamentally disagree with.

WM into the TD - seems awful in this weather but it is towels and I hate cardboard washing

Just the threat might be enough.. I don't think it is very nice either but I can't stand children with potty mouths.. despite the fact I do in fact swear like a trooper myself

I LOVE crispy towels.. they are my favourite.. I go through the drawers looking for the hardest scuffiest crispiest towel.. saves washing off the dirt I just sand myself clean with a dry towel lol

WHOO-HOO SEXYMOUSE :j :beer: :A So glad you had such a fantastic time Mrs

Well I haven't got far - energy drained but hoping to de-clutter this annoying virus very soon!

I'm going to carry on now while DS's are still out and hubby is in work and I'm sure I will feel better for it Hmm think I will give myself a nice pampering for starters though - it should make me feel a lot better and hopefully give me a bit of a boost to pamper my house

Love and hugs

Frog eaten. Drove down to Ulverston. Definitely needing an early night. Packing done in 10mins flat as I kept procrastinating. Left the kitchen in a mess. What's the bet it's still like that when I get home in 10days.

Just flitting in to say:

Happy birthday to lamewolf!!

Congratulations to Mrs sexymoon!!

Welcome to all the newbies!!

jenny jewell - I sympathise. I had flu in March, and then about four or five weeks that I didn't feel well. I'm treating myself to some really relaxing time this week in the sunshine, and eating very healthily, in the hope that I can get fit enough to cope with the new term.

I've done quite a lot of washing, and a little bit of housework...
