Anyone know of a good way to clean between the keys on the keyboard, mine is really dusty. I've tried cotton buds and poking the corner of a cloth between the keys, but it's still dusty. I suppose I should be thankful that it's just dust.

Shirley I use one of those chunky face powder brushes, either that or you could use a shaving brush?

morning.

computer keyboards are a pain aren't they. I normally use the edge of a bit of paper, and slide it under the keys. Some people take keys off, but i'd be scared i'd forget the order they go in. DH buys cans of compressed air, which has a straw thing attached, to squirt air under the keys which blows away the dirt.

Well yesterday i felt proud as i made a carrot cake, and i used the BM to make pizza dough, and OMG how easy. I should have been doing this for ages. If you have this setting and haven't tried it, then please do.

List for today:

• post some letters
• email a friend about her wedding preparations
• take baby for his jabs and to baby clinic
• get food out of freezer for tea
• ring sis to see if she picked up a birthday pressie for mum for me
• if she didn't, go shopping to get one
• write v. day card
• visit mums - take card and pressie for her b.day tomorrow

will probably do more than that, but i'll see how it goes. I'm still not 100% so i am not over-killing it.

I can do most of the kitchen appliances while waiting for my breakfast to cook and the kettle to boil.. I only need 10 minutes.
