Greenbee thanks - I'm grouchy smurf and that's just how I feel right now! I've gone back on wheat out of laziness and I don't think that was a great move.

Should do some ironing but I'm not in the mood so I'll delete a few emails and have a cuppa and the other half of the twirl I saved from earlier.

Everyone in bed
Recycling out
Toast scoffed
money nagged from mother to pay her bill
Bill paid

Squeaks AB's finished
DD3 deflea'd.. OMG that child was crawling!!!!!! I think I got everything with legs but she is getting combed every night for the next month at least.. honestly it was GROSS!! thick with eggs.. I am so tempted to do her a number 1!!!

I need a shower so I can deflea myself now as I can't stop scratting!

Tiddles at another party tomorrow.. bowling... should be interesting with a bunch of 6 year olds!

KH has decided he can't have the children Monday or Tuesday.. they can't go Wednesday and Thursday is pointless as they are at his next weekend anyway.. I don't see why he can't have them tomorrow TBH... obviously everything else is far more important!

Off to make a cuppa.. and chocolate orange fudge cake with ice cream... or I may just have mars choc ice instead.. don't want to get fat do I lol?

Not a very productive day of Fly-ing...but I've worked hard all week and needed a couple of hours to myself! Going to tackle living room carpet tomorrow...cream carpet, two cats, two toddlers and a husband who won't take his shoes off...enough said! Anyone know what I can use to remove really stubborn stains that carpet shampoo/1001 Troubleshooter won't shift?

Also, I've inherited an antique pine farmhouse style kitchen table. It's pretty grubby and I can't seem to shift the dirt/streaks, which are all in the original wax I think. Anyone know how I can strip it without ruining it?

Thanks for any tips!

I'd have a look through the shabby chic thread on this board for tips. They seem to know tons about doing up furniture.

I'd sand it down to naked wood and rewax it.. it isn't that difficult TBH.

Plasterer contacted regarding the cornice work.. here's hoping!

I am buying the mattresses tomorrow.. I need to get them sorted ... and I need to ram a pile more carp on ebay for them.. I am looking at about £420 an I have about £300..

Dot appears to have hiccups for the 3rd time today... I've not had any movements other than hiccups!

Morning lovelies!

It's 16 degrees already according to the comp so another scorcher today methinks :eek: will look round for some washing as don't want to waste the good weather

Will do a bit of tidying in the garden today, it's not gross by any means just needs a bit of a tweak, maybe get the lawnmower out and give it a trim too. Rabbits need cleaning out deffo.

Got this morning to do stuff as DD1 is coming over about dinner time then we're going into town for birthday cards and pressies, teenie's 19 next Friday.....it came round so quick...I thought it was still a couple of weeks away. Birthdays don't half muck up your finances don't they, need to factor them into my savings/budget. :money:

Need to finish my online shopping order but have to do a meal plan up first...*grumble*

*random thought* my cat stinks!
