greenbee, hope you feel better soon
poohbear - I have this one, seven years, going strong. Just dont use it after several glasses of wine . I would live on beans to replace mine - unlike food processor/microwave - but I do usually have DH work shirts to do.

WM/TD on, and I have bagged up lots of rubble. George Dont Do That is pretending to be dead in the middle of the kitchen floor, and with five VERY pointy ends the policy is to leave her to it so no more tonight.

I do need to do HHI though at 18.30?

Please may I be an honoury JJ/Mudbath tomorrow? I have work/school fair/work do so highly unlikely I will post so have a lovely day both of you.

It's been worth doing yet another washload, just for the sight of Dizziee the Ninja trying to murder Minion's purple knickers as they whirl around in the WM.

Minion is carefully trying to eat a bowl of chicken goujons. She couldn't manage the wrap, cheese or salad she usually has with them. But I've got the last of the sushi rice soaking in the rice cooker, so if all else fails she can have some of that later, hot, cold or pressed into rice balls.

I'm sure it'll ease off in a couple of days, but at the moment, she's quietly struggling a bit - except for where one of her friends who already has a brace (and he has given her a load of advice that shows he listens to instructions far better than either of us do :whistle:) bought her a packet of chocolate buttons.


Have flapped around searching for more washing, emptied bins, wiped out the oven (any ideas what is 4 inches long, half an inch wide and turns into a block of charcoal when forgotten at the bottom of the oven for a few [strike]months[/strike] weeks?) and fed some rather grumpy cats some lamb mince for dinner. As usual you would think I don't bother feeding them.


Time for a cuppa, I think.


ETA: is MSE censoring competing price comparison sites now?

Thanks I have had a look and it is on sale at Argos and I have some vouchers

I will talk to DD about it.

juliejim how did you do?

I ended up making dinner, bean chilli, and tidying kitchen surfaces, cleaned out fruit bowl as it is one of the things that is forgotten in this house. Also wrote shopping list for Asda order.

Ironed the bits I had to (all by myself), and wrapped my secret santa. Have to make boy beds and then is it bedtime yet?

Hex - I was with you as I was still carrying on from my HHC with pooh.

I now have 2 kitchen surfaces clear, clean and sparkling! I've also cleaned the hob and emptied and reloaded the TD and WM.

I need to carry on but I'm flagging a bit now.

Thanks JJ, I have lots of bits left to do to as well so need to make myself continue

poohbear59

Just bought a steam press on ebay But does this mean I can now iron? I haven't since 1990!

I am now about to try a 60 in 60? Never done it before, anyone want to join in? Starting at 7.30
