Shell.. do you want an ironing companion???

I'm going to put Grease on and watch that while ironing.. see if it helps.. Can I dance and iron??? With a bad back??

Pigpen hope you're backs better soon, maybe a soak in the bath if you get time. I sneaked one today (well the water heater was left on and wasn't going to waste it ) made mine feel better

Solway how dare you cheat already, you’re as bad as that Pollybear, sheesh!!Pan handles try a toothbrush, worked well on mine. Maybe use a little oil or WD40 it brings them up a treat in my experience.

Nicki I am pleased to hear you're getting on well, I must admit when me and y partner have split before we've got on better than before, weird but like you say it takes the pressure off a bit doesn't it. Stay strong, we're all here if you need a moan/rant!

AnW'sMum your wedding sounds like it was a wonderful day, I love the teddies idea.


Well I thought about getting a head start seeing as you lot have, but I can't be bothered so ner! I'm not doing ironing either, all folded and put away, doesn't need it. So I'm going to be a slob and have a mooch on the internet, realised I only have 3 Xmas presents bought so far so need to get looking, considering everywhere seems to be selling out of Transformers toys thanks to the new movie (DS1 been into them for 5 years and even has his Dad's old ones) I think I best get ordering, actually need to find somewhere to hide them, hmm, bother!

I did ask them, that's the problem. I think I'm going to think about the photos that I think and then discuss that list with them.

Right, I've had enough for today. I am totally shattered. My sundays at the moment end when The Chase comes on, which it does in a minute. 1 last job to do, change the bedding, but I'll do that just before I go to bed.

I don't think you can come up with a full list all by yourself without talking to them. They will have specific groups that they will want pictures of and you can't decide that for them. Will try and come up with what i had and then PM it to you, perhaps with a link to a web site for you to have a look at what we had.

think you need to have a good chat as soon as possible with them so you can plan ahead.

I think the key to a good photographer is someone with an eye for it (which i know you have) but also someone who is hugely organised and gets the ushers involved in getting the family groups there as quickly as possible so it is a non-intrusive part of the day as possible.

Also, i think it might be wise for you to try to visit the venue(s) before Friday so you can plan where you will take photos if sunny or if raining.

sorry - that probably sounds bossy but you know i mean well.

I swear by cocktail sticks for cleaning small really gunky areas in the bathroom and kitchen. I sometimes wrap part of the cleaning cloth round the end of the cocktail stick and it has superb cleaning power.

lbnblbnb - have you sent me that routine list yet? Not pressurising you to do it by a certain time - just looking forward to having a look at it as it will probably make my brain switch into work mode.

TD and WM's on.. again.. Only 4 loads to do tomorrow and the bed sheets... I like coming home to clean sheets.. I can hang them over doors etc to dry so will just have to put them away when we get home.

BM just finished for the morning feeding frenzy.

My big freezer is emptied so I can switch it off while we are away and refill it when we get back.. my fridge is empty.. and my cupboards are empty.. I'm doing a HUGE tesco order when hubby gets paid!!!! (these are usually about £400 but I'll do several smaller ones to optimise coupon/code usage!! because I am skint and tight as nuns knicker elastic!)
