Yes to the mirrors, especially if DS likes them!!! What a great idea!!

Jamsi

I don't think he'd smash them... maybe lick them and pull faces alot but he is usually pretty careful with things like that

Well I braved the spiders and have finished top coat, hung washing out (towels) and squirted stardrops with amonia round rottom of oven and rubbed it in a little. i think I have done well cosidering OH came home for some tools and we ended up having a coffee together for 20mins.
Can feel cobwebs on me now though and hope there are no eight legged beasties hiding in my bra or anywhere else LOL.
I hate water leaks and inconvenient messes like that that just happen and make more work so I you have my sympathy NM.
300 words isn't bad it's better than I could do!
Next challenge for me is to give the oven another little scrub before more painting in the playhouse.
What about everyone else??

Especially when they are repeated all through the repair water ater everywhere and not a drop to drink or wash:eek: . Practically had to renew all the plumbing fittings as they were mainly inaccessible under the bath, crap intallation and the chap ran off with most of the money and never came back to finish the job:mad:

Needmoney, aren't they just so inconvenient! On a similar, although I caused it mess, I defrosted my freezer accidently...it meant water everywhere....and juices from previously frozen items....glad you are getting there in the cleaning and rectifying though

gotta get Wmachine repaired now , hope you sorted freezer ok mine got all iced up the other day couldn't open the doors. I must be awful wicked my luck's gone to pot

Must keep saying money is coming easily to me
Good fortune is here to stay:T

My OH is a plumber so we'd be ok with leaky things... no expensive call out charges for us. I'd just pay him with homemade Meat & potato pie and he'd be happy LOL

Jamsi

I better go clear up painting stuff gotta pick him up in an hour and don't want him to know I've been painting in there or else he''ll want to play in there. I will have to finish it off tomorrow.
The previous owners painted the inside bright blue and I am using up a tin of magnolia on it so it is taking about 3 or 4 coats to cover the blue... it's looking brighter already and hopefully will only take an hour tomorrow so maybe my floors will get done tomorrow!
Thanks everyone for helping me along today it's been really great

Luckily my friend was able to fix mine or it would have been very expensive for me didn't do pie for him though he got takeaway for us

Glad your painting's going well:T

Well I tore myself away to do sofa covers.2 of my 4 littlkuns are ill today made some custard and have scolded my hand......now all I want to do is sit down for fear it will hurt if I touch anything!
Thankyou for the flylady tip I will investigate.
Does anyone else find music helps when doing housework?helps give me a bit of bounce I seem to be lacking.
I go through phases seem to be obsessive then totally lax,dont realise how bad it gets till I go out and come back to it <looks ashamed>
Short of shaving the exs dog he left has anyone any suggestions how to stop dog hair getting everywhere?

Jamsi

Cover their coats with glue?
No I don't know any sensible suggestions sorry, I don't think there is a solution to Dog hair problems only plenty of grooming of the dogs but who seriously has time to brush their dogs 5 times a day!!
Just got a letter home from school saying it's Parent's evening tonight... nice of them to let me know in advance! I was supposed to be going to the cinema tonight and OH was happy he would get the remote to himself as footy is on.
So now I either have to find a babysitter or go on my own. I will be complaining about short notice if I go:mad:
