**passes g&b assignment** you can do mine if you like, I haven't even picked up a book today

tiamai, easier to ask what I didn't order! I might post some examples from the orders when DP is out of the room, I don't dare log in when he's there because there is still a few he doesn't know about.

One order
5 of Oust Dishwasher & Washing Machine Cleaner
8 of Wilko Luxury Tissues 3 Ply x 90
15 of Gillette Fusion blades x 3
20 of Wilko Astron 2 in 1 Cotton Fresh with Fabric Conditioner Tab
21 of Zoflora Concentrated Antibacterial Disinfectant Citrus Fresh
15 of Whitworths Granulated Sugar
6 of Wilko Dishwasher Salt Granules 2kg
5 of Radox Stress Relief Herbal Bath with Rosemary 500ml
5 of Stardrops

Then I found out they had a 100 item order limit, stupid idea, so it cost me several times in P&P! I am yet to scream at them about that. DPs razor blades definately boosted the cost of that order at £6.29 a pack! £94.35 just on that order in blades but he's hair free for at least a year as I ordered more on the other orders too (only blades he uses)

Differentiation - by task or outcome?

tia - so how did you wake your husband up? At the weekend, I usually either get the teens to turn the music way up, or vacuum round him...

DD is sleeping over at a friend's, so at least there's a chance of someone else in the family talking to me tonight.

boddy - it's very very hard isn't it? My mother had a severe stroke at the end of August, and she is still in hospital. There's so little she can do, and she will never come home, although if they stop bickering over the funding, she may be able to go into a care home. Mostly, she's calm, and doesn't always fully realise just what has happened, but sometimes she is very low. :grouphug:for you.

fallen angel shelley -:bdaycake: Happy Birthday!!

I've scrubbed the wall in the bedroom, as we seem to have a problem with damp on the wall behind my bedside table, and there was black mould on the wall. It hasn't all come off with the bleach and antibacterial wipes that I've tried, so I don't really know what else to do. Think it'll need a new coat of paint too.

Hiya

We have the odd patch of black damp on our window cheeks sometimes, and we wipe off as much as possible, then give the area a coat of white gloss paint and then when it's dry, paint over it with the normal emulsion for the room and that seems to hold at bay for quite a long time.

Just an idea if your desperate, others might have better solutions

Busy day- no time to read everyone's news... Hope all ok (tho I did spot Pigpen's photo. I am in awe. I have one nearly 9-month old, and I'm struggling!:o I seem to be either revelling in my new found "domestic-goddess-ness" or wondering why the heck I'm suddenly the one who seems to be doing everything in terms of cleaning, tidying, shopping, washing...

boddy

Serena Yes its hard. Mum had her stroke Mothers Day last year. Was in hospital 10 weeeks. She was already in a residential home but I had to find a Nursing home. Usually she is laughing and smiling. Hope the funding gets sorted for your mum.

Pigpen Meant to say earlier thats a lovely photo of your children. How did you get them all to sit still?

Mudbath

Yes Jjef - without a doubt. Tell him you shared it with us!
Boddy - hugs to you, I can't imagine what you're going through xx

I've done today's list - watch pigpen completely ignore that when she shouts all the time when I do nothing! I think she's playing at tough love! I also did all my extras and have started studying for the course i'm doing at the weekend.

Think i'll have an early night as very tired. Nearly killed DS this evening. He came back from football with freezing hands and nearly in tears. Mum, mum why don't you give me gloves for football. They were in his bag! Boys! What does he want me to do? Put them on for him!

Hugs to all xx
