Done my food shopping, i have started to do it almost daily now, only buying what i need for that day and possibly the next. I used to end up throwing out loads of out of date stuff as my fridge and cupboards were full and i'd forget about things til they were yucky:o Dont know if this is a more sensible approach or not

DD has been off for a day out with her grandma and grandad since 11am- woo hoo! Can't remember when I last had this much time on my hands! (not since she was born last year anyway!)

Can't you just use them in your washing machine? I've never bought any - I'm too tight

Hiya
I've got lots on my list done plus a few extras such as load washing machine, dry for ten mins, hang, load washing machine again, sorted out putting all numbers I know in two phones so I don't have to answer unless I really want to. Also put all clients names in with capital letters so DH and children don't answer the phone when someone phones regarding treatments. I've been meaning to do that since November so glad i've done it.

I'm going to do the floors whilst children are doing reading and then i'll let them half an hour electronics time whilst I go and shred and file and fling. Can't believe I only have ten minutes until I collect them! Going to use the ten mins constructivly and read!

Pigpen - those tablets are great for people who live where there is a lot of limescale in the water. I use tablets like that in the WM as it helps soften the water.

well have gon off on one in the kitchen - scrubbed and sorted out all my cupboards. the only problem is that now I have loads of empty spaces where I have thrown stuff in the bin. am now feeling the urge to go shopping and fill the spaces up!!! I know we need some stuff but i'm not wanting to go cos i know i will buy stuff we dont need.

but chuffed with myself for doing my kitchen cupboards - oh boy they needed it!!!

Afternoon :wave:

(((((((((hugs to all those that need one)))))) I've read the thread and forgotten who they were for already, Sorry

Tracy I've no idea how you cope with loads of bathrooms cause this Dr's house I went to this morning had 3!! It's done me in, doesn't help that all 3 had shower cubicles Grrrrrrr, floor to ceiling tiles and 5ft mirrors all over and seeing as I have to do it all 3 times I can barely move lmao the house was gorgeous mind you, worth about 3/4 million I reckon :eek:

My grant money's gone in today so although I feel flush I'm not, have to keep it for when I have to pay the IS back, and I probs will :rolleyes: lost another 2lbs in weight so that's 11lbs altogether :eek: in about 3/4 weeks, this cleaning lark's good for me. Well done on yours LG :T

Great news about the job maralum

Gotta start in my ****hole now, feels like one after todays mansion

poor aching embb - but look at it this way, that doctor may have a massive house, but he probably doesn't have any time to spend appreciating it

Nope.. I was given them.. I've never bought any.. but I've had these in my cupboard for about 2 years.. I did use some!! .. about 5 boxes worth and couldn't see any difference.. so..

I've decided to bung them on freecycle.. they'll cost about £9 to post.. otherwise I'd have sent them to bonsibabe.. lol.. Just what you need to recieve in the post! SOMEBODY will want them..

I've also decided the little buggy that sets my RSI off has to go too.. it is only a cheapy mothercare jobby.. but.. FLING!!!

Yeah I did think that, shame really as he was a really nice fella and couldn't help feeling sorry for him, also that he seems to have been messed about re: different cleaners, bless him he asked me if I was going back next week with big puppy dog eyes lol I said probs not but who knows awwwww.

Ok, I've made a start, hoovered through downstairs, S&S'd the kitchen, turned the DW on, folded some washing, hung some wet washing on the rads (they've only been there since Sunday so no rush really :rolleyes: ) emptied littleys packed lunch box and made her eat her yoghurt that she said didn't have time to eat - errrrr yeah and I'm Elvis! Gonna go and prep the veg for tea and watch some tv with littley now. BBL xx
