    3 things listed on gumtree, i'm sure i can find more.:rotfl:

    Lunch done and dw loaded. Poor Rhys is still being sick so he's now on flat coke, hopefully it will help.

    Cuppa now and then i'll start on ebay..
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    I managed a load of washing out to dry, then while I was in the bath it started to rain! Another load in machine, spent an hour in the room of doom.....2 bags and one large box for charity shops, 1 bag for dump, 1 for recycling and a few bits to put on ebay is the result. Also a bag of things for my son.
    Needed to keep busy to keep panic attacks at bay, now feeling calmer and roll on tomorrow when the battle to sort out my (disabled) son's housing re-commences...............

    I've been a busy girl I have decluttered my room it no longer requires the doom word. Emptied the coat hooks in the hall and rehomed the lot. Ss is on leave so he nipped in to see us so got him to take 2 broken tvs oot the back and place next to stuff going to tip in the morning and a tv stand that's by it's best. Set up new tv in littlies room and plugged various games consoles in so dd playing happily. Bonus is she will sleep in there tonight now she has a DVD to watch instead of falling asleep in my room and having to move her! Happy days! I have just emptied oot half of my cross stitching stuff so I,ll organise that and put it in its new Hoose. Carboot pile growing too. I will have a clutter free Hoose! Off to start again

    Good afternoon all :)

    I've just got in from work and I'm reading through the thread while my poor achey body rests :o I discovered on the way home from the station that my pretty ballet pumps are not waterproof and that the damp material attracts every bit of dirt, grit and grime. My feet stink :p

    I did put the WM on before I left. Of course the towels were still in there when I got back so now they are in the dryer. No s*d has loaded and set off the DW, all dirty stuff has been randomly abandoned around the kitchen. Oh well until that's cleared I can't cook dinner can I?? I also need to find a spell to remove the forcefield around the fridge which prevents milk and orange juice cartons being put back :cool:

    I hope the sicky vanillas are better very soon :A
    nlj1520 wishing you calm and peaceful vibes, for today and tomorrow x

    Cheese sauce: I add mustard to mine - I melt it with the butter (or if you have mustard powder, add to the flour). I do it on the hob the old-fashioned way. I love cheese sauce I can eat a bowl of it like soup :drool:
