    Feel like I need a rant about someone but can't...suggestions on how to take out my frustration anyone? Argh

    Clean :)

    Thats what I do unfortunately I don't get that mad very often, but when I do I rush around cleaning like a mad thing. It works for me seeing a nice tidy area makes it worthwhile.

    Morning everyone, back to reality after a lovely weeks hols. Congratulations Pigpen, what a fantastic name.

    Work this morning, should probably be working now then will tackle the kitchen later. Need to make a list of other stuff to do. Hubby is at home as he doesnt go back to work for another couple of days so that helps a bit.

    Will check in again later!

    I second this - even better if there's some scrubbing involved. Start on the oven door;)

    erm - is THAT the time? *rubs eyes*

    Looks like we're coming up to the end of the summer hols then, if I'm starting not to wake up so early!

    Back with a list after coffee.gif and HSsingshower.gif

    Froddy - if you know of anyone who wants a Reading ticket I know someone who's trying to sell one.

    Valli - I don't as we are working there and don't need tickets! I would suggest putting it on FB though as it is sold out so there's bound to be someone wanting a ticket.

    Back later ..........
