Sunday 7th January - OS Daily Thread

hiya all

ive never posted on this thread either as i dont usually come online until evening but can be on until the wee small hours of the morning i didnt think people posted until 8am at the earliest but seeing lots of early morning posters i might rethink it all and try and post regularly-reading that back sounds waffling but i think you get my drift-well i hope so anyway

today i cleaned my bathroom-was bleached to within an inch of its life-dont often use bleach but we have prob with our water and everything goes black.vinegar etc wont work so good
oversaw the girls tidying their rooms had to oversee them as they dont do it properly-typical 16 year olds yep they are twins
made the dinner-nothing exciting as using up stuff from the freezer before we go away on hol gonna list stuff in freezer and do menu plans

DH wasnt able to get bread a t the shops so out came the BM tonight have been planning on getting it out for ages so tonight was as good a time as any

well thats my first [post all done

--aussielass-kitchen looks fab

--lil_me-your idea for ironing appeals to me as ive got a load of it to do tomorrow and i had sprouts tonight lol

Just want to say hello to everyone, I've been posting on the DFW board, but not in a DFW way!!! A few people from the OS board have invited me over for a chat, so I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.
I'm from North Wales, 43, recently widowed with 5 children and a grandson.
I did make a home made lasagne yesterday, so I'm hoping this will let me in!!
Oh, I've also bought a slow cooker.

Welcome stormybay. I read your post and was heartbroken for you. I hope you feel very welcome here on OS. We're a chatty bunch (ask squeaky lol) and we try to be helpful.

JaneyM8 welcome, good luck with the ironing, trust me it works a treat :rotfl: I'm sat on my jeans for tomorrow now, no steaming tonight of course, no sprouts/beans

Stormybay welcome to the OS board, a lot on here were thinking of you, I hope things are getting a little easier for you.

Froggergirl I hope your little one enjoys his first day, I still remember my sons first days, I collected them within an hour of dropping them off with a pathetic excuse as I missed them so much and they both were upset and didn't want to go :rotfl: softy aren't I.

stormybay so pleased to see you over here
you'll need to share your lasagne recipe one day. and you have a slow cooker too....all you need now is a microfibre cloth and some stardrops and you will be a fully paid up member here!!

hello to all the other new people who have taken the plunge and joined in today.
its nice to hear what others get up to and to pick up little hints along the way.

Stormybay

Thank you.....

I have a range of colours of microfibre cloths..........I also soaked my cooker bits in the bath today with cheapie biological powder!

No stardrops though

lil_me

You don't have to have stardrops of course (I am sure someone here is on commision!)

soap powder to clean the cooker bits - I've heard that works really well...how did it turn out?

I'm quite sad too with my microfibre cloths....blue for bathroom...orange for kitchen ..

What a good idea! Might try that one. My cooker needs all the help it can get:o

It is a lot easier to get the muck off, but even though I left it for 6 hours, there was still some greasy bits, but should come off if I do it again soon. I shoved a frying pan in as well and that came up as new.

It also made me give the bath a really good clean.....Yuck
