ah that will be why, ive only got £100 left, although if they hadnt cut my limit just because i moved house then i would have had a heck of a lot more, cheeky sods!

its ok, ill stick with my £500 next bill, and £600 credit card bill for the month

Maxonian

Yes I too spent a small fortune online with next. Rather selfishly it was all for me!

Seafarers - catsan is on offer at costco if thats what you use. We got masses on saturday.

Anyway, I'm back from my wild night out NOT!

My 3 kitchen cupboards are gleaming and I am so pleased with them considering they are 20 year old units.
I can't wait to do the rest - yes honestly - i am being serious...

Off to bed now as work tomorrow.

Spare spoons for those that need them - and good luck to LW for tomorrow

thanks maxonian, i usually use pets at home, own brand clumping stuff for around £5 a bag, but will give catsan a try if its on offer.

HHI
Descale the shower head!
Then when I was washing up from tea I managed to knock over the chip pan (thankfully oil not hot) and it went EVERYWHERE! all down cupboards, over worksurfaces, all over floor and all over my clothes. Grrrrrrrrrr. Still could have been worse. By the time I had clean all that up I was fed up:(
Today working, then once again fell asleep with kids when putting them to bed and woke up at 9.30. Not even looked at today's list. Tommorrow going to Great Yorkshire Show |(free tickets!:T)so although nowt will get done, at least we won't be at home making a mess!

seafarers.. I may have gone off you... you mentioned your house is stocked with the contents of next.. Oooh... thinks my head... kitchen table... (I HATE the one we have.. and the wheelback chairs are nice but a pig to clean between all the spindles) SO... off I trot.. and have just bought a new table that seats 8 and 8 new chairs.. without spindles.. easy to clean ... Hopefully it will work well in my kitchen becase of course I haven't measured it! lol

Right.. off to post you tomorrows list.. I'm doing nowt.. we are off to Ikea window shopping with £500 lol.. i have a shopping list.

I am going to buy the stuff for the girls room.. mirrors, desk, corner bumpers, cushions, a highchair for Squeak that OH wants then the one we have is going on ebay & netmums.. maybe bed sheets (6 raspberry/turquoise/lemon (I've not decided) and 4 grey or blue).. window shop the beds.. come home.. order the beds online to be delivered and possibly a bookcase for my sister.. I may order 2.. and a changing unit for OH..he thinks it would make it easier to change wriggly.

Evening all, busy day here and i even managed to clean the kitchen. :rotfl: We've had the pool out and a BBQ going, was suppose to be going to the beach on friday but plan changed tonight at 9 :mad: and we're now going tomorrow morning (if hubby had his way we'd be there now). :eek: House is looking pretty tidy but i haven't even started the packing yet. I think it will be better to do it in the morning when kiddies are still sleeping.

So i'm now waiting on the wm and td, then i'll get to ma bed.

juliejim sorry to hear about your job.
Tag big hugs.

Hubby is due at a welding test on monday and if he passes he'll be back at work. :eek: Feeling very nervous about it and i've even tried to talk him out of it ( i just think it's too soon) but nope he has his heart set on it.
