I find that if I leave the Collie fur blowing through the house, it eventually winds up in front of a door and acts as a draft excluder. Not the best solution I know, but he does object when I put the dog basket in front of the door overnight.

I find it collects round the edges of a room. When youve got an old house it makes brilliant insulation against drafts.

Funnily enough, i only realized this yesterday when i was wet clothing the edges of the living room. I actually thought twice about carrying on.:o

DS has just taken the old microwave/convection oven out of the kitchen. It has sat alongside its replacement for over 2 years. In our defence, it had a super convection oven, but the microwave had long stopped working. I now have a surface that I can prep on and won't scald myself carting hot micro dishes across the kitchen any longer.

The fridge door shelf fell off the other day, only casualty was a bottle of brown sauce (we necked the wine just in case it suffered any trauma from the drop ) and the broken bit is sitting next to the draining board waiting to grow legs and make it's own way to the bin :rotfl:

I can see it still being there at Christmas.

To go back to the topic of odd socks, I solved this problem by persuading my teenage son that wearing odd socks was cool,

I now no longer have any odd socks, and can happily throw out any holey socks without wondering about its partner

I reached a goal yesterday of having no clean dishes left available to use.
I only have 4 dinner plates and 4 soup/pudding/cereal bowls but getting home from work yesterday, I realised that I had the option of washing the dishes before cooking my meal, going out for a take-away or boiling the kettle and having the pot noodle that I keep in the cupboard for such an emergency.
As I had been out all day and already taken my shoes off, it was the pot noodle :eek:

Dishes have now been done so I am at least 4 days away from a similar emergency

Don't forget to replace the Pot Noodle, or you'll be in trouble in 4 days time...

I've long since given up wearing odd socks! I was horrified years ago when I saw people with odd socks because when I tried it, I swear I could tell!!!

Anyway, I can't tell any more and neither do I care!

I have a job which means going into peoples houses and sometimes I am asked to take off shoes... I go into a cold sweat wondering if today's socks are very odd, or barely noticeably odd

if you brush the crumbs off, the plates are good for another go.

I don't worry if they don't match but on occasion I try to think back to if the pair with the hole where my big toe pokes through was the ones I put on or put back in the drawer (as the bin is too far to put them in and it's a faff getting the sewing box out for one sock)

cue: wiggling toes with shoes on to see if its possible to tell

I like this thread - it makes me feel tidy!

Erm, I got as far as printing off the flylady's chores for the week, tidily put them on my noticeboard, and they've been there 6 months!

OH was impressed until he realized it hadn't been touched....!

My argument for dusting 'It's not worth doing until there's a layer, then you can see the difference!'

Hehehe.
