Hordes fed breakfast and despatched, so I now have four beds to change and rather a lot of washing to do. I need to get it done today because the chalet's due for a change tomorrow.

More advice please. We've recently bought some stainless steel cutlery to replace the manky old stuff we've been using for 20 years. The new stuff should be all shiny, but it shows up droppy water splotches from the dishwasher. We live in Plymouth, so the water comes straight off Dartmoor, and is absolutely lovely, neither hard nor soft, no chemicals added. I use half an Ec0ver tablet in the DWer, so what else should I be doing or adding to get sparkley cutlery?

I live in Plymouth as well

Have you got rinse aid in your dishwasher as I think this stops water marks etc

ARGH!!! DS1 is driving me mad.. he has rang about 5 times this morning.. I've got nothing done!!! Good job I can read and make appropriate 'listening noises' at the correct times.

Well my bed sheets are off and fed to WM, last nights boil wash all pegged out, actually managed to have lunch :eek:...DD2 Uni bag is in log cabin.....DD1 has yet to surface to help me get stuff in loft.....I think I have more chance of a Russian Submarine surfacing in her room than I do of getting her functioning before I get DS.

So the frog has been in the blender, I have had a sip, damned nasty stuff, might have to Crush some Candy, they say a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down :rotfl:

Morning all

Builders here, house in disarray again, my bedroom is like living in a poorly attended jumble sale.

I've been bitten on the leg, this does not bode well for walking around a uni tomorrow and driving to one on Friday.

I've watered the front garden and planted out some late tomatoes, not sure they'll come to anything but it was that or the compost heap for the.

Going to have a cuppa and make a flask then an afternoon at schools rounders competition for me.

Feel like sreaming or crying or something today and defrost don't feel like doing anything other than counting down till I can have a vodka.

I had a meltdown this morning and vented it at my OH. I feel so much better now

WM No 2 in, lunch decluttered, upstairs hoovered, sofa polished, one phone call made. Going to have HH Me time now looking at garden furniture online.

Just out of interest, M&S have 20% off schoolwear at the moment if anyone wants to get ahead for September. Remember Quidco!
