Attack that hotspot of grot in the kitchen.. the one you look at, groan and decide to leave until next week.. but it's been there for years!!
Deep Clean Challenge
Sort through the crockery; plates, cups, bowls etc.. sling out everything that has chips and cracks.. these places harbour bacteria!!! Wipe the cupboards out before replacing what you can keep.. then find out when the next crap boot sale is and see if you can get some cheap replacements should you need them!! Feel free to get all excited and do more!!January Grocery 11/3740 -
Congratulations Mermaid! Good luck for the move as well.

The only thing I've done this morning is make raspberry and white chocolate cake. I cheated though, it's one of thoose bake in the box ones that had the try me free thing on it. Haven't tried it yet though.

Congratulations mermaid! :j
I've just spent AGES tweaking my stupid CV and writing a cover letter on reed.co.uk and the site threw me off. GRR :mad:.
THEN, I spent another age filling out all the stupid information AGAIN and it sent me an email "Sorry, your application has been rejected".
Double GRRRR :mad::mad:
Got so narked that I sent the recruiter an email saying how wonderful I am and they should just overlook my lack of qualifications, as I have many other completely irrelevant qualifications which make up the difference. Ah well...
Still no joiner.
Very unproductive day. Lunch I think, then I'll try and do some work.
Hope everyone else OK - pigpen I know how you feel about not being bothered to do anything!

Oooooooooooh another baby how exciting - congrats Mermaid.
Beanynharrison hope the dust lands on you - I sure don't want any on me.
Pollybear hugs to you and anybody else feeling poorly or sad.
I have done very little except provide a stream of food for growing lads.
DS3 back from party. Really proud of him, his little friend let her balloon go so he gave her his all of his own accord.
DS2 got a postcard from school saying how great he had done in PE (gmynastics) this term.
DS1 and2 over the rugby field practising to be Johnny - DS1 doesn't like the physical part of rugby so is working on his kicking as he feels they don't get tackled.
Washing just handing on the line. Going to sort a draw and type a letter to return my lumi which is not working.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Dusty.. they could practice to be Andy Gomarsall.. (had to think how to spell that surname!) I am married to him
And that was so sweet of DS3.. bless him!! Come hide behind my fan!!
