Did that yesterday!

On the other hand, I've done nothing except the dailies today,as left house at 7.30, returned at 4.30pm, exhausted. Happily, casserole in oven on timer, so didn't have to cook, and DD and DS2 made pancakes. This does mean that tomorrow will involve a certain amount of lemon-and-sugar removal in the kitchen.:eek:

Longer day tomorrow... which of the children is short of money and therefore susceptible to bribery??!!

Evening all,

I haven't quite managed to finish todays list so will carry some onto tomorrow, which isn't too bad for me as I cleaned the kitchen before I read todays list, so I aim to tackle a couple of hotspots in the kitchen.

To Do -
Kitchen and Dining room
1. [STRIKE]Clean cooker - going to steep the shelves in the bath overnight[/STRIKE]
2. [STRIKE]wipe down all worktops, cupboard doors and appliances [/STRIKE]- did today:j
3. clean out fridge and clean firdge door seal - again did today but i avoided the drain at the bottom of the fridge, will look through the posts to see how I clean this (seem to remember something about vinegar but will check)
4. [STRIKE]run wm empty on a very hot wash [/STRIKE]- did at the weekend
5. [STRIKE]clean kitchen bin, splashbacks, tiled areas and clean floor [/STRIKE]- again did today
6. [STRIKE]need to hoover and dust the dining room[/STRIKE]

My list
[STRIKE]WM[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]DW[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]clean fish tank[/STRIKE]
finish ironing:eek:
look into listing on ebay for first time - did amazon instead looked easier

Doesn't look like I did very much but i did tackle all the horrible bits in the kitchen which i had been putting off ie cooker and DW, but all nice and shiny now. Didn't manage to do the firdge but will add that to the list for tomorrow, just going to check what it is.

The Pope, Moishe and the Silent Debate

Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert or leave Italy. There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal. He would have a religious debate with the leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy. If the Pope won, they would have to leave.

The Jewish people met and picked an aged but wise Rabbi, Moishe, to represent them in the debate. However, as Moishe spoke no Italian, and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, they all agreed that it would be a "silent" debate.

On the chosen day, the Pope and Rabbi Moishe sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand a showed three fingers. Rabbi Moishe looked back and raised one finger.

Next the Pope waved his finger around his head. Moishe pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope then brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine. Moished pulled out an apple.

With that, the Pope stood up and declared that he was beaten, that Rabbi Moishe was too clever and that the Jews could stay.

Later the Cardinals met with the Pope, asking what had happened. The Pope said, "First I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there is still only one God common to both our beliefs."

"Then I waved my finger to show him that God was all around us. He responed by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here with us."

"I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin. He had me beaten and I could not continue."

Meanwhile, the Jewish community was gathered around Moishe. "What happened?" they asked.

"Well," said Moishe,"First he said to me that we had three days to get out of Italy, so I said to him, 'Up yours.'"

"Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews and I said to him, 'Mr Pope, we're staying right here.'"

"And then waht?" asked a woman.

"Who knows?" said Moishe. "He took out his lunch, so I took out mine.":D
