    Morning All

    DS deposited at football, DD is here as she decided she wanted to come home very late last night from her sleepover so that changed my plans somewhat as I should have had a kid free day. So far I've done 2 loads of washing, redone the group Scouting posters and printed them off and that's about it. I need to go to the library, the tip and to distribute posters other than that there's loads that needs doing here and DS's football presentation is at 2.

    Oh well never mind - I might manage to get something done!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all!

    I like today's list - those are the jobs I like to do on Friday, to get the house looking nice for the weekend, bathroom is usually trashed by Sunday as the dogs usually require a bath at some point at the weekend - he is just a mucky pup and she loves rolling in anything vile (usually fox poo) that she can find. She's very crafty, you get no warning - reminds me of Miss Piggy giving someone a thump, she really throws herself into it! Got an industrial size dog shampoo and deodorant spray from amazon this week (works out at a fraction of the price I usually pay - very MSE!) so that's them sorted.



    Hi- just to let you know if you put tomato ketchup on your dog once she`s been in fox poo, that willneutralize the smell! Then shampoo as normal. Without it the dog still smells! HTH

    Afternoon everyone,

    Dusty You're scaring me :eek::eek: ;)

    neveah Good luck with your return when it comes. Plan a few gentle days on the home front when you start to help ease yourself back in.

    Afternoon all,

    We have sunshine :j

    Please could you send some this way. I want to test my new weedkiller but it won't work if the rain washes it off:(

    Made a fair bit of progress yesterday, although I'll need a catch up at the weekend for some of the earlier lists from this week. Can't change bed yet as OH is asleep, and no, I can't just turf him out - tempted though :rotfl:

    Definitely need the HHI today - bed in spare room has vanished beneath the ironing pile. But at least its clean.

    More frog list - thought doing two things yesterday meant I could hide the list for a while ... oh, well, deep breath...
