    Happy Wednesday. However, I am off work on Friday so today is actually my Thursday so I am officially over the hump :D.

    Very impressed to see you have discovered space in the fridge :T. Problem is, once you clear space in the door you realise how dirty the shelf is....... forget it, that'll just be me :o.

    I put my tumble drier on this morning as it looked so grey. That did however give me a chance to admire its internal light :smileyhea.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Morning GG, yep you're right, the fridge does need cleaning :o. If I'm sharing secrets, the one in the garage does too ;)

    Maybe I will be a rebel and not clean it until all the bottles and jars are emptied :rotfl:



    Probably not, I won't be able to resist the lure of a clean/tidy fridge - boy I need to get out more :)

    Enjoy your 'Thursday'

    I'm just catching up now and sending all the Ts the best of luck from the Floppies! I was made redundant just before Christmas, and not the nice kind with a payout, the strangers walking into the office telling everyone the company is bust kind! I'm still waiting for my notice pay 9 months later, but as a lot of people have said, this website certainly teaches the right skills to thrive in even the worst of situations, and YOU Tilly, are a professor in just that!

    You WILL get back on track and I'm sure after a period of being sensible you will be back with a bang and catch up on your major OPs.

    And in the worst case -I did love the suggestion of lodger burgers... you can even have my old one!

  • Garage fridge now emptied and turned off - will be giving it a clean this evening and leaving it off until we're back from hols at the end of August.

    I have to say now it's emptied and I can see inside, it really needs a clean :o:o:o

    This diary may end up as the most non MF diary on the forum - do make allowances whilst it turns into a meal planning, clean thread ;)
