    I've been Money Tipped!
    So far housewifery fail - apart from on my fourth lot of washing and brushed down the stairs.

    Just really popped on to try and keep up with thread (hollow laugh) and saw the post from Macpep

    Macpep - so sorry about your kitty. Now she is in cat heaven, where the mice are slow and the fire is always on. Hugs to you, it is so hard.

    Just popping in, I've swept the living room and de-junked then DD1 asked if I help with her side of the bedroom :cool:
    Her chest of drawers are now tidy AND closed ;) and we have 1/2 a sack of unwanted clothes for charity. We're half way through the walk-in cupboard / waredrobe but I started feeling "wobbly" so stopped for something to eat.
    I'm hoping once DD2 gets home we can do that side of the room, she is currently grounded (again) cos of the state of it :eek:

    Hello all

    Internet was down for most of the weekend which was mightily :mad::mad:

    I've unloaded & re-loaded the DW, the WM is on, and I've put away the washing from yesterday. I am lacking enthusiasm big time :o

    juliejim thank you for the lists and thank you dusty for last week xx
    nice to see you back witchy x
    macpep1 I'm sorry to hear your news, have a ((HUG))
    welcome newgirly and dipndo :hello:
    cyclingyorkie ooh I can rant about towels :p hand towels seem to end up on the floor a lot in my house too, and they seem to be used to wipe off dirt, rather than drying off water after washing hands, a stage which often seems to be missed - DD is the worst culprit with foundation wiped from her hands directly onto a towel, bypassing soap and water :mad: Anyway, I wash all bath towels, bathmat, hand towels & flannels weekly. Also, I do at least one wash mid-week (often two), for hand towels and flannels, and sometimes the bathmat gets included midweek if some fool has left it on the floor and then trodden on it with big muddy shoes - yes, it's the male in my house that does this. Dusters and cleaning cloths get added to the towel washes too, all done at 60, sometimes at 90 if I'm feeling adventurous. I really must get out more :rotfl:

    Well I'm boring myself now so I'll make a sandwich and meal plan while I scoff.

    Love to all

    BBxx

    Woohoo one sofa now gone..:j:j:j

    Think i will bring in the coffee table and put up a new picture tonight, fingers crossed it will be gone by the weekend.

    Right i better shift, need to work out whats for dinner (i don't want to be buying anything so freezer feeding) and i have signing class tonight.
    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.
