Off back to work with a giggle after finishing reading last night's banter. Looking forward to reading about Op ORF this evening. And about all your flying of course (and that Michelle has had her feet up on the sofa doing only paperwork).
Dusty yes, bedding is still fab. It is a pain to iron though but I only do pillowcases.
Pinkfairy, that's a tricky one with that young girl, there must be some one near by her that can help. Try not to add it to your worries.

Enjoy your crazy day, see you this evening once I've kitchened.

I've got deep heat in my bed side draw for my back when it hurts...is that the same thing.

On a serious note...is anyone else having problems with PMs at the moment. I keep trying to send a pm to someone, it's not excessively long, and it keeps telling me it's more than 5000 characters. Now, surely it would be seriously long to have that many characters? Any ideas pigpen as you're the queen of PMing ???:D

Have you exceded your limit and need to delete some? Can't think of anything else..

:cool: Morning all :cool:

Would you believe I actually dreamt about web cams last night? Just as well I went to bed when I did so didn't read the later banter about truncheons and handcuffs etc. goodness knows what I'd have dreamt about then!

Unfortunately, there's no time to set a web cam up for today but watch this space, if the perp doesn't turn up today a web cam will be organised.

Right, the obligatory cup of tea is almost finished - just about to get dressed and then commence stage one of ORF

- stand by ladies - I'm going in....

:cool:

soappie

:cool: Stage 1 complete. Car hidden up the road. Back safely via the back door. No-one knows I'm home!:cool:

Now, what do we have on Tuesday's list: Oh good, it's the kitchen - mine does need doing.

Okay Soappie - I'm ready for the installments. Mind you, they'd never dare do it again after these lot had been near them. I think I'd run off if I saw a 5ft 7in rabbit, a brownie, an elf, a strange woman with crisp packets and branches growing from her head and a crazy woman who's attached to the rabbit!:rotfl:We've also got a woman in a ghillie suit - which I have no idea what one is - but sounds painful!

Can anyone give me an idea where to start in my living room? I can't actually see the floor, never mind be able to hoover it!

I could just dust in there then that would be 1 job done and ignore the floor!

Mmmmmm you do realise that a lot of people on here are will be doing this search :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

And as for flying.....

Going to be one of those days I think!

Morning and I am glad op ORF is underway.

Nothing to report. Going straight to the shower, clean the bathroom and back down here in record time in case I miss anything.

JJ - I'd start with 15 minutes hotspot - the floor or a 27 fling boogie if it is trash.

When you all fill bin bags what goes in them? We have less than a sack of rubbish a week???

newmrslockwood

Morning all. Looking forward to operation ORF updates.
I didn't get round to the list yesterday, but gonna crack on with both lists today.
