  • Happily working my way through the lists - even managed to list one solitary item on eBay!

    Tip of the week: put the pile of old mags that you are saving to go through one day IN THE RECYCLING BIN. I had Good Housekeepings going back years. Threw them out a month or so ago, haven't missed them once. Most of the articles come round again, and you can look up any recipe you want online.

    well have sold the cat bed that neither of the cats will consider (it was bought for the kitten) sio I'm pleased about that. Also had washing out on the line this morning.
    HELP
    I ordered what I thought was oven liner on amazon and something called cooking liner has come - is this what I put on the oven 'floor'? it says suitable for ovens, roasting and microwaves, use in frying pans roasting and baking tins.

    Valli Going by the description you gave I'd say that it isn't the same as an oven liner, cooking liner implies to me that you use it to line any cooking implement ie: grill pan/baking tray? I could be wrong though :D

    Just re-made my bed with the clean stuff, only just managed to squeeze it in before my bedtime. Done loads and loads and loads since I came in from work, quite a lot of it admin stuff.

    work all day tomorrow then a fashion emergency (as she put it) for littley which requires a shopping trip to Newcastle tomorrow evening to visit Schuh and Warehouse....and a lil sneak into Lakeland and Lush for me :p

    Up to date but working tomorrow, so this morning did the bedrooms and bathroom, washed and pegged out 3 loads of washing, baked a birthday cake and walked the dogs down the fields. All this before 10am, then cycled 20 miles to Southport and 20 miles back again. Exhausted now but so pleased that following your thread my house is in so much of a better state! Loving the weather.
