  • Found a working hoover....kitchen, DR, LR, hallway, stairs, landing, my room and ensuite all given a really good going over after being de-gibbled.

    Some gibble from landing taken downstairs ready to go to dump tomorrow, as my glass recycling is building up....if I take it to bottle back at Mr T then I will have to go in and buy food, so the tip it is!

    Tried to use DW earlier and it's not working so need to find out what the error codes mean, so I have more WUDUPA to do....but I am telling myself to think how much leccy is being saved.

    On saving leccy, having raw fruit veg and nut smoothies for 4 out of 5 snack/meals a day now with DD1 so it means the cooker is not being put on every time someone gets hungry. I will submit my meter readings tomorrow and see if I can get my DD reduced :money:

    Right WUDUPA is not going to do itself......hopefully will be back on tomorrow. :wave:
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Hiya everyone


    Gosh - what a week, I'm cream-crackered.


    Can someone tell me why it has started to rain everyday this week when I get my shoes out of the cupboard to go out :huh:


    Did it today so decided to wait for the bus. Forgot it was Friday 13th and of course the bus didn't come and had to walk to station in the pouring rain :( Mind you, GA must have been watching and the express train had been delayed and arrived just as I did :rotfl:


    Oh - Mrs M-P. What a carry-on eh :eek: Glad 'people power' triumphed :T

    Thank you :) it is very pretty ... I'm fretting now in case moomins teacher doesn't like it.

    Pixie is awake supposedly feeding but why that requires teeth is anyone's guess.

    I finished painting the cupboard last night so will get the door back on once pixie goes back to sleep and do pics of that too it is really cute. It is to be in the girls very pink room
