Hi
Didnt check in yesterday - too ashamed to admit I didnt get the bathrooms done.
But kids beds stripped and in wm, so will go in and tidy and hoover, and catch up the bathrooms.
Be gentle with me, Ive got 3 bathrooms/toilets, and 5 beds!!

I am absolutley fuming,was changing DS bedding whilst being nosey out the window,as you do. And seen two dirty smackheads injecting themselves at my back gate! I cant believe it in broad daylight aswell in the street.

I have had a quick look about to see if they have dropped any needles or other stuff what they use but cant see anything.But I have a little mound of wet dead leaves near gate so I`m gunna have to be very careful when picking them up in case there is anything in them.Will do that tomorrow as it`s raining heavy now.

I still cant believe it,what is the world coming to?

Yuk Hazzie! I am so shocked!! I'm so naive I bet I wouldnt even have noticed, be careful when you tidy up out there

Hazzie thats awful - im like susieb probably wouldn't have noticed - can't you ask someone at council to clean it up instead of you - would they do this?

Morning Everyone Hope you are all ok. I had a plumber out to do some work in the kitchen yesterday, so I have delayed cleaning in there until today. The window cleaner also came yesterday so once he had done, I did all the windows on the inside...I was shattered last night! I have just been soaking the wire racks from the oven in biological powder, and it really made the job a lot easier....hardly had to scrub them at all, so thanks for the tip :T I did the inside of the oven last week. Children's rooms were done at the weekend so I am just going to concentrate on the kitchen and utility room today. I just wondered how much time you all tend to spend cleaning different rooms? I seem to spend too much time on each room so I am tempted to start using a timer as "flylady" suggests. Anyway have a good day everyone x

HAZZIE.. do you have community wardens?? They come out and clear up same day.. just explain I'm sure they'd be more than helpful.. ours are great. Collecting needles is one of their duties. It is disgusting.. I'm really intolerant of such people.. there is no excuse in the universe for such behaviour.. I'd have gone out and yelled at them (as I am prone to doing) Thankdully our back garden is completely closed off so noone apart from DH, me and the one lot of neighbours can get down there, and they do NOT want to make me mad.

I just picked up some of DH's black washing.. neded to make a full load.. and I 'found' £11 in change, I invoke the ancient right of 'Finders Keepers', change now in the mortgage pig.. I may collect his laundry myself more often if I am paid to do so!

*JoJo*

that is terrible Hazzie. I would definetly call the council and ask them to clean it up; you should not have to do that. Its so awful especially if there are children around.

thats annoying, hazzie. i have similar problems - have often walked out of my door to find people dealing outside, and my wheelie bin keeps getting drug waste put in it. its horrid and feels like an invasion of your life in a weird way. def try the community wardens if you find anything and poke at the leaves with a stick.
