Theoretically, I have easy Flying today; Thursday id bedroom day in the Wolf's Lair; and I actually did some of it Tuesday,:T as Mr LW was on the phone, so I wanted to be in another room. I know it sounds silly, but such is my telephone phobia that I don't like being in the room even if someone else is using the phone!:eek:
It's coming over a tad cloudy, so I think I might get Dylan taken for a trundle up the road next, before it rains.;)

I spent most of the morning on my Frog forms. Friend came around to check I was doing them.
DS1 Christmas present arrived.
Took my Dad to his eye Photo and then had a cuppa with my parents.
Just having lunch then I'm getting back to my forms. Friend is coming back later to check I'm not slacking.
WM is on again0 -
Changed my bedding this morning, made a big cooked brekkie for kids then been out visiting. DD fell asleep on way home, so let her sleep in car and hovered between dining room and hallway so I could see the car. She's up now and sat watching tv wearing pants! Fingers crossed!
She seems to be on the road to recovery I'm this infection, so I think we will risk playgroup tomorrow.
No idea what I'm doing, this week is all a bit fuzzy. But my mil did some washing and ironing for me whilst I was at work (she has looked after DD 2 days for me). I'll put my bedding on to wash in a bit...Bossymoo

are there any fail-safe ways of getting mould and mildew off without too much elbow grease/ expense? fly-baby is making my bump HUGE :eek::eek::eek::eek:, so I know my balance is a bit off standing on a chair and if I start thrashing about too vigorously I don't want to do myself a mischief
See you all again at a more sensible hour
Hi skint breeder 5. I bet you're as shattered as I am after being up until silly o'clock last night.
I clean for a living and I find bleach in a spray bottle is the best thing to use and leave it for about 5 minutes. The house I've been cleaning today provide me with Dettol Mould & Mildew Remover (it's in a green bottle) and it is marvellous in their bathroom. They have a sunken bath with literally 1000's of tiny mosaic tiles around it which seem to hang onto soap and shampoo scum - you know that telltale pink tinge you get on tiles/shower curtains? - well this stuff does the job no problem with the help of an old, soft toothbrush and next to no elbow grease. Just spray, go and have a cuppa, comeback and wipe away.
HTH
TMD xx No doubt I've done my usual trick of answering a post and not reading posts following on from the original question :rotfl:Decluttering junk and debt in 2016
Debts - Vanquis £3500 1/1/16; DFD - when I'm dead with £100,000,000+ interest :eek: UPDATED Feb 2016 £2739.80; DFD June 2016 :j
Next - £1500 1/1/16 DFD about 10 years time. UPDATED Feb 2016 £1371.16; DFD July 2016 :j
THE GOAL IS TO HAVE NO DEBT BY THE END OF 20160 -
