    Hi all

    In regards to using the 'special' products from your bathroom cabinet, I decided not to save things for best. I got a lovely b0dy shop white musk set so use that weekdays and a more 'posher' fragrance set that I use at weekends.

    Yep you are right you are all special and so is everyday so I'm empowering you to use your 'best stuff'. I have my lunch off of one of 3 lovely plates which are all mine each day. I used the lovely charity shop wine glasses each day, have broken 4 of the 5 but the joy I got from using them.

    Just finishing lunch and then back to the grind.

    Feeling much more energised today for trying to drink 3 pints of water, have had to make many visits to the clean loo though :rotfl:

    Piggers are you having your little girls christened this weekend or just going to a christening? Good luck with the furniture moving.

    Thank you DK

    I have decided to take your advice and make sure I don't overdo things. The plan is to 'do' just one bathroom today. The others can have a s and s.

    Hugs to people with pain especially LW, Hex and The Dragon

    Our boiler gave up on us and is not repairable so I need to move to keep warm, wearing gloves in the house :)

    Done – I don't really have any “special” stuff as such,:o but the cabinet is all tidy, and we're not short of anything (nor do I have a “stash” to use up);)
    Wipe the lightshades if it is safe to do so
    Done as best I can manage with the duster-onna-stick:o
    Check your smoke alarms, hoover if necessary and safe
    Checked and working; I know Mr LW dusted out the inside very recently, so that should be OK:)

    Done the best I can with today's list. Quick time-out to get my breath back (I get a bit short of breath sometimes, no idea why as I haven't smoked for nearly a decade) then I expect it'll be time to take Dilly for her afternoon constitutional.:o
