We had emails from Royal Bank of Scotland and Citibank last week, don't use either of them. Our bank never emails us so I know anything is dodgy.

Newmrslockwood - hugs to you and son
Kaz - yum yum, my need is greater than everyone elses on this board honest.

Update on DD - been to the doctors and she has psoriosis (is that the correct spelling) of the nail. That is the only part of her that's affected. There's no treatment. She may grow out of it and may not but I keep tellling myself it could be a lot worse. A lot, lot worse so I'm going t surf to see if I can do anything to help at all.

Managed all levels today as when I'm worried I have to keep busy xx

kaz, is that what you made yourself, bought in asda, or ate for lunch :rotfl:
seriously, that is so impresive, how on earth do you (and others) fond the time to do this stuff

I have done no fluying today and am determined to do a bit so I am now going off for 25 minutes to do something in my kitchen - watch this space ....

Dusty thanks for the warning, I bank online with lloydstsb so I'll be wary

Lil-me thanks for the hint I'll get cook your own next time if these ones go down well

Went slightly over budget this am but needed to get baking basics, determined to do more home cooking!

Still haven't got flying today, keep finding other things to do:o

• [STRIKE]Sort through one cupboard, emptying it, wiping it out and wiping items before putting them back[/STRIKE]

7_week_wonder

Good evening everyone,

I've been lurking on here for a couple of weeks trying to follow the list, and being alternatively chuffed with my results and dismayed that I've let the place get into such a state.

Today I've de-gunked the kitchen and have just finished cleaning the floor (for the second time in two weeks - good grief what have you done to me!) so I am sitting here with a glass of wine waiting for the floor to dry before I can go back in there to get some supper so I thought I'd finally say hello.

My user-name comes from the fact that as of today I am a lady of leisure for 7 weeks. I have just given up my well-paid but stressful and uninspiring job to go back to university as a post-graduate researcher - for exactly 25% of the pay I was getting before . Amongst other things, I'm hoping in my mini-sabbatical, to get the house in order as it has gone into decline over the last couple of years whilst I've been studying (I'm glad to see there are some other OU students in here).

I love the community here, I have been giggling at some of the messages and alternately awestruck and gob-smacked at some of the photos. I'll probably mainly lurk, but thought I'd come out from my corner to say hello.

I'll end with a couple of newbie questions:
First - how do you clean your micro-clothes? I've been boiling them up in a saucepan for about 15 minutes - but there are still some interesting stains left!
Second - what is the technique for cleaning windows with newspaper - do you just scrunch it up and use it like a cloth?

And finally - a more philosophical point? How much, and how, do you involve your OH? Hubbie was highly entertained by a copy of the week's tasks that I'd printed out and said he wanted to help maintain the good work I'd started

Gosh, that's more than enough from me - and this glass of wine is getting warm,

Have a fun evening everyone,
7WW

Hello busy folks,
Kazmeister, am I too late for afternoon tea and cakes? They look scrummy!

Just had a quick skip through the posts and wanted to say;
HopeElizzy, have a hug from me, that's a lousy week you've had. I hope you find your own way of coping with what's going on.
Happy belated birthday, aimeelister ! Hope it was fun and you were spoiled.
Well done Pigpen on closing another account! Keep going, you're doing great!
And Dusty, thanks for the Lloyds TSB tip, I'm sure I would've opened the mail but I won't if I ever get one.
Lil_me, will the GP not give you something for the toothache rather than having to wait for the dentist? Or maybe it would conflict with meds you're taking for the tonsilitis. Either way hot and cold sweats is not a good thing. Take care of yourself.

Well I did a fair bit of the kitchen when I played catch up at the weekend but I saved the fridge just so's I could join in tonight. There's a lot of leftovers of leftovers and my mum sent me home with a random goody bag on Friday so I'll empty it out, clean it and throw away this weeks meal plan. I'll eat any combination of food, doesn't matter if it's old either.

If I get done by 8 I'm going to make a start on the bathroom floor. I went and bought vinyl tiles tonight. If I get it done properly I think it'll look quite smart. Never done this job before either. Lone Woman does DIY.Am scaring myself every week with stuff I wouldn't have contemplated doing before but if I don't do it it doesn't get done. (Just re-read this and it's actually not much different to when I was with ex-OH..)

Have a good evening. May pop back later.

Edit to say, Welcome 7WW! Hope you find it all useful.
