I have now eaten my first ever Dragon fruit.:D For those of you that are interested, this is what they look like...



and on the inside ...



You scoop them out the skin with a spoon like a kiwi, and they taste like watermelon. Mmmmmm yummy

OH is the last room in the house to declutter (before I start back at the beginning again) so this week I am going to just do maintenance flying until that room is done, if not it will never get done.

Dusty - how do you propose to declutter your OH?

Good luck with tomorrow Serena - you'll be fine!

A bit late back from HHC at 4 - :doh:but got loads done - I was on a roll

Did:-

Cleaned loo
Cleaned loo floor
Cleaned bathroom floor (properly on my hands and knees)
Empty all upstairs bins
Wiped down tiles in bathroom
then
shock horror - actually forced myself to part with some of my sparkly pens - binned 29 put 35 in a bag to take to work (and yes, saddo that I am, I did count them ) - I'm a bit of a stationery addict and hoard pens and little notebooks like billi-o (haven't got a clue how that should be spelt ) so chucking them was a mini milestone.
Also sorted out my craft drawers and threw anything I'm not keen on/was past its usefulness

Question to all of you ebay/amazon seller types - where is the best place to get some cheapy packaging materials?
I've still got 12 tea chests full of books in Mom's attic and if I don't get rid soon, I'll never bother - do you think I've inherited my Mom's hoarding tendencies?


Good luck with your first day tomorrow serena

pigpen - hope DS1 is feeling better - I agree with Kaz - maybe he is coming down with a virus - I had a horrible rash and puffiness when I had one in January.

raph - they should have called those things barbie fruit. Are they soft and squishy? (the dragon fruit you dirty minded lot )

Evening all. Gave the kitchen a good clean on Sunday as it was a bit grot so only 'maintaince' needed tomorrow.

Shell - hugs for your DD

Terrible Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Level One
[strike]Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces[/strike]
Level Two
Sweep and mop floors
[strike]Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there
Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary) ![/strike]
Level Three
[strike]Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc [/strike][strike]
Clean fridge and see what needs using first (why do I have 4 jars of cranberry sauce in mine?)
Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer and dishwasher filters need to be done too!![/strike]
Extra Mission
Choose one or more of:

• Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
• Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
• HHI .. bit of a catch up!!
• PLUS Meet C at 10.15
• Paint ceiling line
• Chase re:hood

Right, not too much to do but am meeting a friend and her DS all morning so will be what I can do before and while DS naps.

Have a good Tuesday xx

Well read through I'm exhausted!!
Could kiss you pigpen as I cleaned my bathroom yesterday and it is positively sterile:p
So easy day for me I'm just going to maintain said sterile bathroom and perhaps clean out fridge and then sticky jam, syrup, salt and pepper type cupboard that has a base resembaling the bottom of a budgie cage:rolleyes:
I won't have much time tomorrow evening as it's pub night:j

They weren't squishy, a little soft, but I don't know if that's the way they were supposed to be, cos they were on discount, use by today!
