    I have refilled the TD and WM, put the ironing away and scoffed some food.

    Feeling pretty carp now.....coughing like it's nobodys business and it's giving me stomach and headache. I am also really tired but I think that is due to the cough waking me through the night!! Must try an early night tonight!!

    Question for all you experienced flyers:- How can I remove black mouldy bits from inbetween tiles, & on the seal stuff in the bathroom without damaging it & what product(s) are best to use? TIA!

    If you don't want environmentally friendly dettol mould and mildew remover or bleach. Less harsh eucalyptus oil but not as effective

    ((HUGS)) to Wendywitch, Juliejim, Natty and anyone else who needs one

    :j congratulations Quillion :j

    Well I've managed second off last meeting, put another 3 baskets of laundry away, been to butchers (prices shooting up at that one!!) packed some of the kids stuff ready for Monday (seemed daft putting it away) washed and dried 3 loads but it's tipping down now, measured up for dog crate, done some budget shuffling for next 3 weeks diesel (camp sites we are staying at are free)

    Suppose I'm out of excuses and should start on the kitchen which is currently a ROD :( anyone want to do a HHC 3-3.30? I'll report back when done x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    HHC finished (delayed making ungrateful DP coffee and dealing with the boys as they thundered in)

    I did - WM, DW, TD emptied and refilled. Washer load on line (stopped raining but cloud watching) bailed some water out of pond, flung a bag of recycling and another of waste from kitchen, decided what's for tea after a fridge tidy/shuffle, cleared one work bench in kitchen, put some tops onto hangers and hung on stairs (open case = handy!) fed animals, emptied recycling bin, cleaned downstairs toilet (wiped mirror, sink, loo, holders etc) packed another box of caravan bits

    Cuppa anyone :D double strength then another HHC 4.15-4.45 my kitchen frog is still croaking
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
