    Mattress toppers?

    Do you have one? if so how thick is it, and what is its filling, and if you can remember what sort of price did you pay for it?

    Thank you


    General stuff done
    Looking on line for house insurance, / quidco etc
    Given in and put the heating on!



    Just ordered foam one for £55 (minus cashback) from the catalogue. think mine (king) was about £95 five years ago.



    Need to murder Minion (refusing to tidy her pit)

    And remove the explosified potato from the oven. I forgot to stab one of the spuds. And is the reason the b***** upstairs thinks she doesn't have to do her room, because I'm not doing that. I'll just shove my hands into a hot oven, then, shall I?
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    today i also went to the city (40-50 mins away) and got some cheap fishies to start cycling my tank. i am not happily watching 4 cardinal tetras, 4 runmy nose tetras and 4 glowlight tetras. i wanted some red-tailed black sharks or black-tipped silver sharks as they are very hardy cycling fish but alas they were all a tad on the large side meaning being put into my huge tank on their own would allow them to grow mahousive and would eat all the other smaller fish i would be putting in over the next couple months. once ive more fish in ill get some baby sharks coz they wont grow quite so large if there is less room. i want guppies and mollys too to breed baby fishies too!

    ive been to MR M for nappies when i realised i only had 1 left!:eek: i got some crisps and dip and some cola to go with the wine and vodka i have in the house for friends coming round later on tonight. one doesnt finish work till 9 and my the time she gets here it will be almost 11 so i will be very tired tomorrow but it should be a bloomin good laugh!

    dont have much more flying to do this week bar cleaning the kitchen and bathroom floors but since its peeing down and people will be in and out the back door smoking in the back garden im saving myself doing the job twice.

    hugs and spoons to everyone!

    Lounge is as clean and dusted as it's going to be this week; in all honesty, we've done everything apart from lifting up the very large dragons, so it's not faring too badly.:o

    Good evening fellow flyladies

    LW - dreaming of giving birth or pregnancy can symbolise a new begining/ new chapter in your life or giving birth to a new idea.


    Well not followed lists for today as my dad finished the glossing and therefore there is kitchen carp cluttering up the lounge and until the paint work dries the carp stays. :eek:

    So instead:

    BM on
    Kitchen s&s
    Bathroom - cleaned bath & sink, s&S loo
    Shower room - cleaned shower, sink & loo


    Hugs & spoons to all xx

    There's nothing like a short-notice visitor to get you motivated!
    My FIL called in with an hour's notice. So, screwed up my plans for the kitchen, but it did mean I cleared all the carp that's been on the bottom of my stairs for weeks and tidied round the LR.
