    Sorry to derail the thread :o

    Now the proud owner of the nitty gritty which as you all predicted, is amazing, but, just, yuck!!! :eek: he was riddled, but I do believe it's pulled loads of eggs out.

    Right. As you were!

    :p

    i'd suggest every 3 days till you stop finding anything, then once a week for everyone just to be sure.

    i got a bit OCD about them so when i found anything mine got done every day till i found nothing then at least once a week. in fact they used to tell me off when we were snuggling up with a story for absent mindedly searching:o

    ive even gone and ran the comb through my hair this morning while you were discussing them.

    right off to get my roots and split ends decluttered
    'see' you later

    LITTLE HELPER LIST
    You all seem to be doing remarkably well this week.. I think those big helpers should be taking lessons from you all!!!
    Skating in really late this week! I never got a chance to come on at all last week due to nights and camp. It was a complete washout on camp, some very upset cub and scout due to the cold and wet and mud. But we all survived :D.
    DD had a nice black eye from her rowing weekend after getting hit in the face with an oar :eek:.
    Am back to work tomorrow night for 5 or 6 so will be sporadic in popping in and out, hope to get something done.
    This week, I am just about going to survive getting dailies done and keeping on top of the washing. Doubt I can get any further.
    Littlies have just helped me get the house a bit straighter, DD has cleaned the bathroom and is now making bread for calzone.
    Can't seem to shake the tiredness either and the weather is not good so we haven't managed to get out much. Ho hum. Off we go!

    Hi all.

    Well, at least I can hobble from one end of the bungalow to the other without stopping off at the bathroom today!:D I think a lot of the problem is I'm stressing badly about Mr LW's hernia.:( Thankfully he's fully recovered from yesterday's poorliness, and went off to work as per usual this morning.:o

    Anyways, this morning I've done a WM load of Mr LW's clothes, hand-washed a top, cleaned the veggie drawer in the fridge, and made a lemming cake (it's cooking as I type). My wrists are now banjaxed.

    I also got shirty with the builders working across the close for completely blocking the driveway we share with next door.:mad:

    I need to do the Dys0n Tango in a bit, prior to Jessie Labrador's arrival this evening.

    Towels on the line
    Dining room dusted
    Kitchen sink cleaned
    Kitchen side cleaned

    Covered in forget-me-knot seeds heads and I have more to remove but the wheelie is full. Going to make a cuppa, plant out some plants and then maybe cut next doors grass whilst it is dry.

    Hi all - I'm back :D Tis cold here, isn't it?!

    Will catch up with Fred in a bit and then may sort a list.

    Thanks for the new thread, Natty :A

    I did do the bins and put the rubbish out this morning :D and then went back to bed as 5 1/2 hours was not enough sleep!

    Back in a bit x

    Thanks for the Company Ionafan! I always feel better knowing I am not the only one sorting Listy out!


    Student Finance Done for DD1 and DD2
    1957 photos and videos cleared from my phone onto computer, so my phone now works again (need to phaff around a bit more to download more pictures from other directories but there are pics of my late Dad on there and I daren't risking mucking that up!)


    All my appointments detangled, except !ngeus, but out of spoons for phone calls (saving last spoon for Specs@vers for DS in a minute) so I have sent !ngeus an email with available dates when I can go and see them and hope it all works out.


    Asked nursery for DS bill as it is late and there is too much money in bank for this time of the month, so before I decide which debt to throw a few extra £££s at I need to settle up with them first.


    I might come back for some more 'Puter time later and try and sort some money out. :money:
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    I swear by the nitty gritty! DD used to have them constantly the whole way through first school. There was one child who never seemed to even see a hairbrush, let alone any nit treatment and she was just crawling with them :( all the kids knew which made me feel really cross that her parents would just leave her like it. Poor kid.


    Right, there is a ball of yellow in the sky. I am dragging the beastlets outside and away from the 'putters.
    Not far but geocaching of some form.
