1:30-2pm... come on.. who's in?

Come on, be fair - I'm a Doctors addict :rotfl:

Anyway I did my windows earlier so :rotfl:

Just had a thought! I hope you're not talking about the outsides. Not a chance. I used to do that at the bungalow and they would be lovely and clean - for about half a day. Living right on the coast it doesn't take long (a few hours) before they look as mucky as before covered in salty grime, so I just do the insides and wipe off hand prints.

Firstly, Mudbath Gerkins!!! you did make me laugh! As for the johovis - invite them round for christmas!! I know it's a way off yet, get the invite in early. When I first bought my house, my first christmas my friend (rented room off me) answered the door about 9.30am and I heard her say 'If I was you I would be out of this road before my friend gets out of bed' I asked who it was and she said johoviss I FLEW DOWN THE STAIRS and very politely told them never to come back, and do you know they hardly ever do now unless they have new recruits who don't know!!!!

JillD - Don't talk to me about DH's. I've been really really exhausted for the last 6-7 weeks, been to doctors for lots of blood tests, everything clear, could be SAD!!!! Anyway, what does he do to help - NOTHING!!! One good thing about coming on here is at least I know I'm not the only one with DH like mine! Also, how did you get into mystery shopping and what do you have to do? By the way, I'm not 40 till next year, it's just going to take me that long to lose the weight

JulieJim - How's DS today? Glad uniform came and DD wore it. Will tell DD1 as she will be pleased. She asked me this morning if I have her name down for brownies!

SSL - 1969 was a good year!!! I am interested in making jam, if nobody else wants the wax paper let me know!!

FrankieM - 4lbs fantastic, bet it made you feel good.

embb - 1 stone in 8 weeks thats brilliant too. I really need to get my head round it, I just have problems getting through the day at the moment so bad food is easier to cook than healthy!

Mrs Pepperpot - Do what you can, everyone on here are sooo nice, even if you don't do much you've done something - all the english teachers reading this will be cringing, but you know what I mean.

Nicki -you've certainly got the learning bug!!

Pigpen - The Easter Hols Lists, can you just make the list for us, DH and the kids one all for me, no point asking mine to help!!!!!

I real on here something about plastic bags and hair bobbles - what is that all about, I am so curious.

I think thats everyone, anyone who needs a hug - ((((()))))

Didn't get anything done yesterday, spent most of the day driving from school to this recital thing dd1 was in. She did solo in the morning, very good. Choir recital in the afternoon, they were brilliant and are through to the final concert on sat afternoon. They are all really chuffed, the age range is 6-8, there were 31 of them and they said 2 poems and not one of them got any words wrong or out of sync, 1 very proud mummy here.

Got a few bits to do, but not going to aim for too much as this weekend I have to:
Buy b press for mum
Buy wa press for mum and dad
Buy b press for dd2 friend
take dd1 to concert sat pm
mum dad wa party sat nite (40 years!)
out for dinner sun with mum dad for wa and birthday(61)
leave lunch thingy and take both dd's to party of dd2 friend 4-6
washing
drying
ironing
homework(dd1)
collapse in a heap!!

Try to catch up over the weekend, Pigpen I think you need to add to the list each day, keep up with the thread, didn't come on yesterday and had 14 pages I think to catch up on.

HHWC - Did 7 rooms worth of windows.....only the insides mind

On a window cleaning note.....how do you all do yours? I have only done the insides cos I pay someone once a month to do the outsides. We have 15 windows and a full patio door so I don't do them outside. On the insides I just use windowlene and cheap kitchen towel.
