We've got a dishwasher arriving on Tuesday (thank you Council Tax break!), and are considering leaving any washing up until then. Well, it'll need a good test won't it?

my mum has a dishwasher, i dont. as i check the house twice a week and do a few bits in the garden while she is away in the summer - i have been known to take my washing up round!! she is away for several weeks at a time and i worry it will rust and seize if not used. so really i am doing her a favour!!

These mentions of Christmas have inspired me to crack and eat all the hazelnuts in my wooden bowl which is emptied of carp and filled with nuts at Christmas. The almonds are all impossible and have gone in the bin.

I am re-awakening an old thread to make a confession. During a recent change of furniture in my bedroom, I had to move everything around, which mean the bed too. I've never been ashamed of not hoovering under the bed (it's a huge, heavy divan) but even I had a twitch of embarrassment at the sight of two magazines that had slipped under the bed and remained there since.

Both were from February 2006. Oops.

I've got a funnel web spider living on the floor, by a corner of the bath.

I caught a fly yesterday and threw it into the web. It was much appreciated.








What? I'm a nature lover......

i spent several hours deep cleaning my bathroom the other day!! I'm sorry - completely against the sloblady ethic!! however yesterday a colony of wasps moved in to the wall cavity and found a way into the bathroom ... every few hours i spray the bathroom with raid wasp killer and an hour later hoover up 100 or more dead wasps (my goodness the can poo) my bathroom has never been so hoovered so much (now looks horrid again).. i have an inch of dead wasps in my wheelie bin. its exausting to keep up with the wasps just so i can have a wee .

the moral - dont clean the bathroom - OH says we would not be in this situation if i had left well alone!!

i am working all day till 8.00 tomorrow - i hate to think how many wasps will be in the bathroom by the time i get home!!

nasty creatures - why are they here - they dont belong here... we cant get anyone to come round for several days:eek::eek:

Are you sure they are wasps? Just that theres been loads on the news about swarms of bees and its early for wasps? If they are bees you can usually get a beekeeper to come and remove them. Google bee images and have a look. They are very similar to wasps. Hard to tell the difference.

Cleaning is such a thankless task.

The minute it's done, it needs to be done again.

So I do not do much of it. Kitchen and bathroom...yes, but everywhere else, a lick and a promise is just fine.

There is always something much more interesting and enjoyable to do!
