    Ta muchly :) I'm up and ready (after all, this is about two men tramping in and out of my house with **stuff**) though if I don't want them to turn right round again, I'd better sweep the floor :o


    The part of me that loves weird DIY projects wants the upper drawer of the dishwasher, the one with the two-pronged windmill underneath. And I want the *other* two pronged mill too, the one at the bottom. I know its ridiculous :o :rotfl:


    What dfw/mfw ideas do we have for the internal dishwasher drawers? :D



    Final SB points gained, I've been juggling the latest offers and the need to time the latest rewards claim, and its been successful :j There's quite a revolt going on on SB at the mo, SB are trying to get rid of people who just play the system (uh, people like me), and they're succeeding. It's really not surprising - I just checked, and I ordered my first rewards card in January, and I've had a total of £145. Not huge by the standards of some, but its more than equivalent to my fancy new phone, for instance :)

    Can't think of any uses for the drawer or the whirly bits, but totally get where you're coming from!

    Interesting about SB - I don't know whether I count as playing the system - I certainly do the bare minimum but take them up on all offers of freebies! £145 is a great result for minimum effort!

    Hi madvix :) yep, I'm quite pleased with the dosh, though it does take up too much time - I'll carry on with the easy/quick bits, but I need Pinecone or something.

    I have a working dishwasher :j:j:j not quite tidied up, though not much more to do - its *so* hot, unpleasantly so. Almost completely clouded over. I'm definitely off to spend some time in the shade in the garden, blissful. It's halfway through the month, I need to reassess to move forward :)

    Morning lovely peeps :) I need a quiet day, as I'm off to London tomorrow on a day's coach trip, which is a first for me :D So I also need to *do* enough to be able to sleep properly. Balance is all :)

    Utter bliss to wake up to clean cutlery and dishes :j


    Today: bit of gardening (waste collection on Friday), put some washing on, the last of the tidying, scanning, prepare my gluten-free lunch for tomorrow. Life is good :)
