    thanks pigpen and Jo, definitely have some somewhere, but where, is the question.

    Have just finished cleaning the kitchen floor, properly!!!!:T I have Never seen anything so ingrained in food, It was absolutely disgusting, it was so caked on ended up having to get down on my hands and knees as really needed some elbow grease, but on the up side, all the hands and knees action might hopefully have helped baby turn??? Finished with mopping all of downstairs, bar livingroom as has carpet. Noticed how dirty the fridge and the cupboards and walls were so gave them a little clean too, knackered now lol, although think I might have to go and hoik out the WD40!

    Don't worry so much about your dream LW as it was only that my dear, you probably watched or heard or did something that jogged your subconscious to make you dream about it thats all.

    EDIT: wooo hooo found the WD40 in the garage, guess what I'm going to be spending my evening doing.... Oh yes I know how to live the high life lol
  • LW weird dreams must have been the order of the night last night, I dreamt I killed someone and no it wasnt DH as he is still among the living :rotfl:

    I think its maybe telling you in your own way to slow down and stop doing as much and eat lots more cake. Well thats my interpretation of it, as if you were pregnant you would slow down and nurture yourself more and that would defo include eating lots more cake. mmmmmmmm cake, wonder if i can convince DH to make me a sponge cake and the dratted man has just gone and put his work suitcases in front of the wardrobe so i cant raid the Christmas chocolate stash :mad: sponge cake it is then, either he makes it or i do!

    Stardrops...? Its a degreaser, and wd40 is grease/oil based lubricant... hopefully that should do it.

    Whew, done better than expected today, level 1, 2 and most of 3 done, plus most of my dailies. Will mop the LR floor once the boys have finished throwing their tea around. DS1 made ginger bread at school today so has been "kneading" his pasta *headdesk*. I now have a huge pile of washing to put away. I'm finding this really difficult at the moment as now DS2 is too big for his door bouncer and we can't get a stairgate to fit at the top of our stairs I have no where to put him while I'm folding and sorting the washing. I can't do it while he's asleep either as the slightest noise wakes him and the floorboards upstairs are very squeaky. I think tomorrow I'll fold it downstairs and then take it upstairs just to put away quickly while he's asleep and hopefully it wont wake him.

    Now decluttering a glass of diet coke and deciding what take-away to have for tea to celebrate losing another pound and reaching the 2 stone mark :)

    Oh and thanks Piggers and Jo, handwash and elbow grease did the job with the sofas, then sprayed it liberally (maybe a bit too liberally, floors a bit slidey!) with the leather cleaner and it looks so much better. Think I have one of those wormy things in the garage so dig it out for next time x
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy

    Wipe it the same way with each stroke.. Start at top and wipe down unti it is gone then wipe the bottom bit to one side..

    Kitchen paper and vinegar!? With a splash of fairy liquid?
