    Thanks Valli I'll look into that but to be honest I think I'll prob stick with Facebook - so much easier, Ebay used to be good but its hard work now!

    S&S'd the kitchen after tea and made some Fairy Cakes

    Washing didn't get done but I'll catch up tomorrow with that inbetween fixing the car :]

    Watching a dishwasher on Ebay - 99p so far, its not washing plates properly but I think it just needs a good clean which I can do so hopefully no-one else will bid on it

    Off to crochet a square now and watch drivel on the TV

    Evening all! Lovely day here again although I was rather late up as I didn't get back from London until nearly 1 a.m.!!

    Went shopping and to the bank, did a bit of paperwork, went to see Iron Man 3 and then popped to Dad's.

    Looking at spending a few days in Manchester in August so could be a Flylady meet maybe?

    You're ok Helen - all I'm doing atm is talking about it.
    ;)

    I'm also considering offering free delivery (by courier) though and upping my starting prices accordingly. My understanding is that Royal Mail is to be sold; I assume this is why they've hiked their prices.

    A frog has been scoffed - DD has been stood over and forced to re-register for online banking. This has revealed that she was, indeed, paid her first wages last month. :rotfl:

    She's is considering buying a Kindle Fire - and I said I would keep an eye on Quidco/Amazon - there is a 10% offer on Amazon through Quidco atm; but she's thinking about it;) she's Miss 'well I would like it but I will wait and see as I want some money for the future' Not like Mr 'oooh I've got some money what can I spend it on quick quick' who also lives here.

    Hi all

    Mummyroys well done on the offer, hope it's what you wanted
    Pigpen great news about Squeaks nursery
    Macpep hope DD recovers soon

    Healing/soothing vibes for those suffering from ailments or suffering from people that are.

    Carrot cake is made and is in the oven, however I did add and extra half cup of flour but I think the mixture was too runny - it's been in the oven for 50 mins (fan oven) recipe says it needs 35-40 mins but it's wobbly in the middle. Ho-hum will give it another 10 mins and hope for the best.

    WM repairman turned up (called a different one) so have 2nd load on.

    Flying wise:

    WM x 2 - 1 load hung on indoor washing line
    LR dusted, sofas hettyed, added brush attachment and hettyed the picture rails.
    LR, hallway, stairs, landing, bathroom, kitchen & sun room hettyed
    Hallway dusted
    Cake baked
    Washing up done and most items dried and put away
    kitchen S&S
    Phoned my Dad

    Have a great Wednesday - almost the weekend!

    Big Black Cloud Appt for me, stabby appt for DS for pre school jabs, and managed to drive-by the Colonel's to take advantage of a free piece of fried chicken :money:

    Got ready to take library books back to be renewed, but library closed on Tuesday - I will try not to make that mistake again

    no nearer getting DIY done, I have lost count of how many weeks ago I started that.

    Did go out Whoopsie Stalking at Mr M tonight with DD3 on rottweiler duty on the trolley, and DS and DD4 generally being lovely and well behaved to the fellow stalkers, a lot more polite bunch than usual and we all had a good share out of what was there tonight.....i managed 50 items at 9p each including some expensive soya yogurts for DS , and some others at at 75% off, so now I really need to think about some meal planning to use up what I have bought.

    Right, I will catch up on Fred tomorrow as I must lay down before I fall down :eek::rotfl::eek::rotfl:

    hugs, sticks and spoons - in the jar ready for all in need
