... DD .... was a workhouse cook.

Better luck than my GG-GM then ... who simply deserted her family there and legged it

My G-GM might have been a better cook .... she'd cooked the chicken the police came round looking for after the local chicken thefts were reported

Crazy stuff.

this reminds me of when i used to play five a side, the other team used to score every time they got the ball. this could be 10-0 by half time at this rate.

This trend for brazilians so and holly woods brings many to tears. Pain killers and a glass of wine before strongly recommended.

So I'm the only person watching Beauty Queen or Bust then....?

Just turned over now I realised I had that on... Hell's Kitchen now... US version.

Bah - I predicted Germany 3 Brazil 1 so cheered the first 3 goals....

Tenant didn't clean at all, had smoked in property, had not done anything in the garden and also failed to give sufficient notice so owed for rent and charge for early termination agreement. New tenants complained a lot about the smoke smell despite deep clean and curtain dry-cleaning nearly had to get everything repainted...we let them off the broken towel rail.

Still playing catch up (as well as watching football, heavens, the football, not what I imagined).....

Clarisonic makes one's skin so soft and smooth its incredible. Your pores get tiny too. My rosacea likes it, my dry bits like it, every thing likes it. And because the skin is so smooth you use hardly any product so save money on expensive lotions and potions.

I may try one of those if it is good for rosacea. Thanks lir.

My suggestion for descaling in the bathroom is Viakal. Comes in a spray bottle too.

Mine too. Bear in mind I don't just have hard water, I have water that comes out of the tap shouting "come and have a go if you think yer hard enough". That's the chalky Chilterns for you.

When I realised what they'd done, I started feeling very unsafe, even just stood on the grass! Completely nuts!
Now all disconnected, & a full electrical test showed all to be ok (the place was rewired within the last 12 months!)

There are sometimes in new houses that your priorities change in terms of what you will do first, purely because you don't like the odds of staying alive with things the way they are.

We had one of those caravan style round the bed and over the top wardrobes in our master bedroom. When I saw how few screws were in the actual screw holes holding the overbed unit to the wall, it had to go. The wardrobe bits followed pretty quickly thereafter.

I'm cleaning.
Never smoked inside, not ever, not once.
Not done much in the garden, but done "enough"... and will be giving it a 3-4 hour thrashing before checkout. It's pretty self-maintaining (except the trees/bushes grew).
Gave correct notice, nothing owed for rent, didn't finish early.

Nothing broken, everything will be shiny and clean

'We' have to use the very softest brushes and work up to it. Bugs mentioned she found it abrasive, it can be. Some people use it twice a day, I simply couldn't. I built up to once daily, and sometimes avoid cheeks on that day, but means I can properly do other parts of face, neck, d!collet! that I cannot use old lotions and potions on in same way these days.
