Right, ladies (and gents?) I've been thinking for awhile about getting a H2o mop x5.
What do you all think?

I have one, used for mopiping which i love, used the handheld bit for round the gunky bits on the toilet, haven't used any of the other attachments, well the copper brush for the oven but not impressed with that, if you use this link, it only £49.99 (not sure if it still works as I got the email Monday) but I would wait & see if Groupon or suchlike offer it at that price as I paid double that :mad:

For some reason (best known to themselves,and they can keep that information to themselves) males use vast quantities of loo roll.

Done spare room today ,taken 1/2 a car load of stuff I no longer want/need to charity shop.

There are 5 of us and only one loo - and we go through just under a roll a day......

Feeling... grim today. I hit the sack early last night (after cooking tea for everyone and doing the wahing up!) Not one of my family clocked that fact that I didn't eat anything!

Thankfully I slept reasonably well and today my stomach is behaving itself. But my throat is sore as are my ears and my GUAG has vacated the building...

My JML dribuddy has died after 4 years. Not having anywhere to put a tumble drier I have ordered another one..... more expense....

I have taken advantage of the Boots offer to spend £50 in store and get an extra £12 in points. I only bought essential stuff and will manage to sort out my mum and sister's Christmas presents from the £12 that they gave me today.....

Eish. We were doing so well and she's just had 3 accidents in 90min lol. I don't know where it's all coming from, as I get her to sit and finish off each time... Bless her she looks shattered. I think we'll all sleep tonight.

Have you all been to vote?

Pamsdish We're all women. One of them is NL who will go on November 27th. (Vast amounts of champagne will be decluttered when she does.)

CY I'm not sure what it is about family, but sometimes they can be a bit self-absorbed. Have you tried not cooking for them when you are under the weather? There was a wonderful Jackie Fleming cartoon a few years ago showing a very stressed woman leaning on a table saying 'I haven't cooked. Can't be arsed.'

Yes Bossy.

Quick question. Does anyone have any figures easily to hand on loo normal roll usage? We seem to be getting through a great deal of it in the shower room loo which this week is being used by three adults - a roll a day, and I'm not talking budget loo rolls here. Does that sound right? (Bossy Moo, you are actively excluded from this question as my long term memory seems to recall being utterly fascinated by how well it flowed off the roll when I was very, very young. Those @ndrex puppies are amateurs! Your DD will probably start playing that game quite soon.)

TMI alert.....are your adults lodgers male or female? Years ago I taught my DD1 and DD2 how to fold up loo roll to make an impromptu towel in the event Aunt Flo put in an unscheduled appearance and either there was no "supplies" machine available or they had no change for said machine - it was a tide you over measure until they could get "supplies" from a friend, another loo, a shop or home.......as that does CHOMP through the loo roll and I mean CHOMP......so if there are no signs of achey bowels (and event then a roll a day would be going some) , this would be my first guess :eek::eek::eek:

No more flying tonight...I am shot to pieces, tried to get DS down for his nap only to discover he had stuffed a raisin up his nose from snack time at nursery this morning :eek:

I couldn't get out no way no how.......so had to wait for DD3 to come in at 3.15 so I could go to Minor Injuries

The exchange rate was as follows:

one bogey covered raisin = 2 teddy bears and a lolly

I think the nurse really got a bum deal on that one, but DS was sooo cute, polite, selfless and played the charm offensive when offered a teddy for being so brave he said "I will choose a red one for my baby Hollie in Mummy's tummy", so the nurse let him choose one for himself aswell - bless him

DS fell asleep in the car on the way back, so I am having a lurk, a cuppa, a nap....then I aim to fly - by - night later tonight :rotfl:

Bossy, no not been to vote. Was going to go and spoil my paper after the paid stuff but CBA to even do that now.

OMFG! My domestic woes/sins.
I have a kitchen floor lined with leftover rotting food from my numerous and accomplished growing repetoire as part of my attempt to master new types of recipees/new recipes etc.
The local flies have taken a shine to me as I have organic box doing the honours so everytime I agitate it the flies are off to play.
This means the flies spread out throughout the flat including bedroom! and fridge (ideally) in order to insinuate themselves into every nook and cranny in my life.
Be
droom wise my kingsize has a massive pile on it which stares incriminatingly at me that I am too lazy to sort
Bathroom is most respectable with oil grime from my homemade MSE body scrubs. Though the pathways here are passage ways of ground in grime.
jobs wise the kitchen beckons. I run away from the smells and overall horribleness of the jobs that will mean I expell the fly population from my flat as in addition to actually cleaning up, i use my MSE discovered wall paper stripper to steam zap the flies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:beer::money::beer::eek:
