    Full line of washing in dry and another line out but it does look like it might rain again. :(

    Boys have tidied their bedroom which is now spotless, I gave them a list each and the room has been tidied for the first time without any fighting. :j I think they even enjoyed it.

    DD had her own list which she's done and now has her bed covered in stuff for her trip, i'll get the suitcase down once dinners done.

    My plan now is to tidy kitchen while dinners on then DS1 can set the table, DD can unload the dw and DS3 can put bits and pieces back where they should be. ;)

    thank you ladies.

    pigpen thats a really good idea with the harpic and bossy moo would i just fill the bath with hot water to the top and add how much washing powder do you think?

    Yes lots of limescale and the toilet bowl on the loo on the outside is really nasty?

    I have never brought my kettle upstaris before to boil water to use to sliuce the drains but that is an excellent tip honey bear.

    just wish i could buy the elbow grease.....

    any more suggestions greatly welcomed, i will let you know how it goes xxxx

    Valli I won't desert you next week; but I don't think I'm going to be up to much Flying. I must be the World's Worst Flylady!:cool:

    Feel dreadful today, even took up residence in the bathroom for a bit as I feared I was going to upchuck.:(

    Anyways - congrats to Mummyyof5's DS on passing driving test.:T

    Going to log off now, and dip paws in hot wax bath.:o

    I have picked the last of the currants and trimmed them; theyre just having a little curranty bath then I shall weigh them and start jamming. This is by far the most productive the bushes have ever been. One yearI only got 2 jars of jam - this will be three full batches + - AND I made a pie!

    Hello again everyone. Since my last post, I've walked and bathed the dogs, been out for Sunday lunch and a battlefield walk (got drenched) and had an ice cream to soothe my sore throat.

    In the end I only hoovered downstairs, so the plan is to go right through the house tomorrow morning before the paid stuff.

    Hope you feel better soon LW.
