    Click on 'user CP' and then on 'edit ignore list'. Type in the name of the person who you want to ignore and then you can't see what they write. Their post comes up but it just says you can't read it because they're on your ignore list. Then, they can type away to their hearts content to get a reaction but you don't see it. :D
    :beer:Cheers for that. my muddy friend; I couldn't remember, as it's been awhile since I had to put anyone on Ignore.:D
    Sorry guys I'm having to give in for the day, my nose is running like a burn and I just feel lousy (sp) managed to get about a quarter of my ironing done at least thats something. My neice is picking DD up from school for me so I'm off for a lie on the sofa for a wee while.

    See we have vistors again it's lucky I don't deal with themsign0073.gif
    I must remembersign0015.gifsign0020.gif
    I need new specs - I read that as "running like a bum":rotfl:and was wondering what the heck was wrong:D GWS, mate.:o
    Now, where did I put the troll spray?:D

    Joking aside, I need to do my HHYoga, and I'm really in a state of cba, so if it's OK, I'll join roundtuit's HHC to do it.:o

    Bit more than half hour, but bathroom done, apart from the floor which I will do now. I had to declutter some soup first... There have definitely been spyders around here, :eek: to the gunk that came out of the sink plug hole!

    Monday - Bathroom, shower room, toilet

    Empty bin and wash out
    Decant any half bottles of bubble bath and such like, chuck out empty bottles[/STRIKE]

    :) Aw thankyou youngmummy and Lame Wolf.....that was my first ever HHC....thankyou for joining me. How did it go?

    In my HHC I

    washed the pots from lunch
    found my cutlery holder - been hiding under brick dust in the living room since I had my new kitchen fitted:o
    ....in July
    washed cutlery holder and any cutlery still in it....most of it had migrated into the kitchen and was laying clean but homeless on the worktop
    put cutlery holder into drawer and replaced ALL cutlery into it woop woop
    which then inspired me to put crockery away too.

    (I'd detoxxed all the drawers and the shelves in the wall cupboards just never put anything in/on them - going to detox the base cupboard shelves tomorrow then I'll be able to stow pans etc away....and then I can start fetching kitchen paraphernalia out of the Tardis...aka the garden shed :o)

    I also took dry washing from radiators and replaced with damp washing, unpacked some place mats ready for use on new kitchen table, and opened Saturday's mail.

    I'll go to bed tonight with a bite out of the elephant, but there's a loooong way to go....at least I can see where I've bitten today.

    Much love to you all xx

    Council tax paid :mad: Bathroom floor now swept and mopped, WM and TD on again, time to pick up the toys from the LR floor and then fold washing and put away. Don't need to worry about tea, I'm having salad, got OH a pie and kids are having cottage pie that I made them yesterday. Then hopefully I'll have half an hour to sit down and sort out my MP3 player before they need bathing, and then I can go for a run once they're in bed...
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy
