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

    Good night Moggins, hope you feel much better tomorrow. I'll check the list in a mo.

    Well lecture went well, tutor is much more laid back than expected, is fine about things being late as half of our course materials still have not arrived grrr!! Kids actually behaved at my sisters, she did comment how 'hyper' they are compared to her children but like I said, 'Tell me something I don't know'. I was nice and knowing she is skint I paid her for looking after them.

    Uniforms sorted for tomorrow, wash load in now ready to put out to dry tomorrow, take away ordered for tea (my bad, but what a day it's been and I deserve it :D) haven't actually had chance to eat today. Maybe why my heads bouncing!!! Still as it's chinese I will have some washing up to do afterwards. We were discussing getting permission to get a dishwasher today (rented house and will have to remove a cupboard) I worked it out by timing myself and on Sunday I spent over 1 hour washing up. Going to continue adding it up, if I do more than 7 hours per week washing up (OS baking and cooking makes more washing up!) then I will apply and see if we can get one!

    Pigpen, yeah my undies basket is just odd socks too, unfortunately my youngest does try to help but mixes them up as a lot are extremely similar, DP hmmmm useless, so easier to do it myself!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • I have done no flying tonight. We had a power cut and I am whacked. Was wakened at 6am by the milk boys and was wide awake. Got up and tidied my room and hallway. All clothing away. Went to work, came home made dinner. Took out a tub of stewed sausage for my dinner as kids dont like that and when I went to cook it it was mushroom and onion gravy lol not a sausage to be seen. I am now using labels so should be ok with the other frozen food. Really knackered now but cant be bothered going tobed yet. There's always tomorrow. Jeez I feel as if I am saying that all the time but must do something cos house not too bad to be honest. xx

    Yipee I have a study and computer desk again I don't think we have seen either for 6 months room is still not perfect but as least i can get into it without climbing over boxes and general mess.

    Re odd socks I gave up matching several months ago and now wear odd ones with the occassional matching pair - only been caught out a couple of times;)

    Moggins hope you feel better tomorrow, there is definetly something in the air as it seems we are either looking after sick family members, sick ourselves or generally not feeling like doing anything - I blame February I have never liked this month and am always glad when its over.

    Oh well better check the first post for tomorrows jobs, night all.
  • Thanks to everyone for their advice about cleaning keyboards, my one at home is now lovely and clean, shame the same can't be said of my one at work. Might tackle that tomorrow.

    Just did a 30 mins fly around the house with the hoover and duster, plus the downstairs bathroom (finally). Now to reward myself watching Never mind the Buzzcocks and then a nice long soak in the bath with a good book.

    Contact bank and sort out online access having locked myself out *again*
    [STRIKE]Grocery shopping[/STRIKE]
    Look for interesting things to make in bread maker - still need to find the instruction manual

    Pigpen, i also need to do some major ebay listing. God i just hate doing it though. I hate the packing and sending part the most. It just takes forever and i'm useless at wrapping. You should see the mess i make of presents. At least now i can blame it on my DD, lol!
