Clean/wash the brushes/dust box/filters on the vacuum cleaner!!!! .. make sure they are completely dry before using it though.. I don’t want anyone electrocuted!!

poohbear59

Huge thanks! I really truly appreciate all the good wishes and all the hugs too. I have never been so hugged! I haven't really had any time to try to catch up with all your posts so I am sorry if I missed any to say thanks. You can probably imagine that things are a bit strange around here and flying has gone out of the window. The funeral is not til next week but I think we have got everything organised for that. I will try to catch up with you all next week. I will be back home on Wednesday as I have a hospital appointment so I will not be around until later next week. Thanks!

Ok bathroom floor and sinks done, bleach down the loos, got tiles and showers and baths to do.
But have listed 25 things on ebay which is a record for me, i hope some sell as ds agreed to part with his leap pad system, in the hope of part funding a ds!

am getting a bit worried about what Pigpen has in store for tomorrow :eek:

mumofjusttwo I know you how are you? I've not seen you on UKS for ages, but then I've not been on there much. I seem to have been very tired recently for some reason!

Torianut - no idea about catching whole mice, we only seem to get half mice here thanks to one of the cats they're much easier to catch as they keep still.......

HopeElizzy - that sounds like a tricky dilemma can you limit the amount of toys that the kids can get out? if there's only one box they can get out, then it's less to pick up also get rid of the glitter! hide it somewhere (mine lives in the freezer!) where they won't find it

My eldest is 13 and she is of course wonderful, but I think when grows up, she intends to have 'staff' , then she won't have to do anything.
My DD2 is 12 and so wonderfully helpful, you struggle to believe they have the same genes....

I am boiling now - in a bikini bop I kid you not. Just been out the front and painted all the new seals and some windows which only had putty on. It took much longer than planned and I have the plan of doing the second coat tomorrow.

Right to ebay. Ebay question if I get the basics on my listings so I can upload today can I add detail to the descriptions after they have loaded?
