She completely denied the swearing and said i was deluded!!! Said if she does it again I will dump her stuff outside and she can get on with it!!!


On a more positive note - got a £15 off a £75 spend at Al*i from the Rev - very nice gift but also wanted me to buy her a bottle of wine while I was there so £10 off really! so started my Christmas food shop - came home and did my lists of things still to get so feel a little more calm and organised!


Itinery for tomorrow:
1. 4 cups of coffee while watching an hour of Sunday brunch
2. clean house and help DD3 clean out bunnies
3. take kids to my work signing choir event (must remember tissues!)
4. trail around local paper shops with DS (he wants a paper round!!)
5. post Scout post before scary Scout man moans cos I am not as efficient as the Royal Mail!
6. make a roast pork and roast chicken (dinner DD2 doesn't eat pork so got a chicken and left overs of both will do us all week)
7. wash and dry other half of uniforms
8. help kids do homework


Not sure I will get round to bottling fruity liquers tomorrow!!!


Right best get to bed or number 1 won't happen never mind the rest!!!

Oh and really need to learn how to bleed radiators - bedroom radiators don't feel very warm and its baltic!!!

And 10. Put Christmas tree up!!! How could I forget that!

Have you got a bleeding key (now will that get through the censors?)? With kitchen roll in left hand & key in right, slowly turn the top of the key to the right, that is leaning over the radiator from the front. You may need to use some sort of implement as if it hasn't been done for a while it could be VERY stiff (I use a small monkey wrench). Good luck, all the air in this house goes into the radiator in my bedroom and it really makes a difference. Don't forget to check the water pressure in the boiler when you've finished - mine usually needs a top up too.

My Christmas tree doesn't go up until the weekend before christmas, I have a low boredom threshold (I'm sure that has 2 no 3 h's but spell checker must be American) & get fed up with looking at Christmas decorations if they are around too long.

Just to add the central heating should be off before you do this. You can sometimes get radiator keys at the pound shop.

I bought a little tool thing but none of the 4 ends fit anywhere on my radiators! Might take a picture of ends of radiator and take it to DIY shop and hope to find a friendly assistant who knows more then me! I am so rubbish at stuff like this!


(ps how do you get a spell check on here?? I can'y find it!)

Frankly I've no idea how I got spellchecker on, it just always has been! (I'm really technical can't you tell). You are looking for something which looks very like an old clock winding key.

(a bit later than planned so will be eating late!!!) - made yorkshires with Self Raising flour and they were more like cupcakes! But kids ate them!
7. wash and dry other half of uniforms - washed and drying now
8. help kids do homework - they say they haven't got any! Not sure I believe them so might have to go and search school bags!!
9. Bleed radiators - got a key thingy - now off to try it out - found a youtube video - what did we do before youtube?? Tried bleeding the loft room one and it hasn't made any difference! Think it might need an expert opinion!
10. Put Christmas tree up - later maybe! if my festiveness hasn't run out by then!!! Bah Humbug!!! Tree done!!!

Also managed to sell 2 of the baby bunnies so £60 up! Busy day!!! Chilling now with a glass of wine! NSD too!!!
