Not unreasonable at all pigpen, tell him to fluff off! It's too cold to be waiting outside for cabs etc. Hmm suppose that's something for us to decide on for tomorrow, taking the car or getting a taxi, car means one of us has to drive....suppose that'd be me because it's his birthday.

Kaz.. I have used stuff with 2000 dates on recently.. a few actually.. and we ain't dead... *urgh*... *hits the floor with a thud*

Beat ya beat ya beat ya - I just threw out loads of herbs and spices that were dated 1996 and 1997, but I had to ring him at work to ask his permission first, as he doesnt like to throw anything away. Think he only said yes as he was on his way to a red call and hadnt got time to argue. Also threw a bottle of unopened 'stuff' away that he bought in Thailand when he went with his ex and we've been together 12 years so havent a clue what it [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] was or exactly how old it was.

I have been through all my food cupboards now and have a list of everything (way too much stuff) that needs to be updated on computer so guess what I'll be doing for the next hour. Shouldnt have started it really as havent got anything else done apart from loading/reloading WM and TD.

Lilme & Dusty - we're on aol but aven't had any probs getting onto bank accounts.

Minibudgetgal - welcome to the madhouse and it really is sometimes, ask anyone about operation ORF!!! and a massive well done on what you have achieved, are you sure you need us!

Jill - I helped my little one until she could put her dummy in and it was a godsend. She finally got rid of it about 4 1/2 (having only had it at sleep times for ages) when we kept reading her the last noo noo which is a lovely book about marlon and his dummy. DD like Marlon had about 20 hid all over the house :rotfl: .

Michelle - we'll miss you but I can understand the stress when we all spend so much time on here altho I dont stress if my stys not clean

As for ironing, I love having stuff ironed just dont have time to do it (rather be on here :rotfl: ) so I have a heap and iron stuff usually just before I need it.

Ok better get on with my cupboard contents list.

Catch you all tomorrow unless anyone about later
