hey, its a money saving forum. Stuff all 8 in.

They will keep each other warm and you can charge people to watch them fight over the water bottle.

win-win I think.

Hi all, bit under the weather this evening but I have level 3'd the kitchen and done the ironing. I went in search of the WM manual and found a whole folder named 'Manuals' - I must've been organised once before, most of the stuff in there I've not got any longer. Anyhow, there is no filter so I quickly put the screws back and left well alone!
If paperwork is on tomorrows list I'll see what other bits of paper I've been lugging round the country for 10 years that needs chucking out.

Half hour Facebook for me too (I'm hooked), bath and bed.
Enjoy your evenings, hope tomorrow goes well for those with loathsome things to do. Catch you tomorrow evening.

Oh pigpen, I know how you feel.
I think children think the house just magically cleans itself and that I just love tidying up after them.
I have 4 wonderful children and none of them know how to take responsibility for their own mess!!

Anyway, I've put the oven cleaner on and cause I'm using the sink for extra oven bits, I'll have to do the light fittings tomorrow.
Of course, now I've started I just want to keep going and stay up all night...I need to get out more.
It is very satisfying looking around at all that you've achieved, I feel very content, just got to keep it going.
See you all tomorrow....

Oh yes.. usually from the charity shop or crap boot sale though.. I HATE paying full price for anything!
