Yay!!! :T :T :T

Thanks I'm all chuffed with myself, which is bad in a way as I tend to get more done when I am stressed, it did take us a good 10 minutes to brave opening them :rotfl: doing the usual you first, no you first etc.....:o like big kids we are.

TMD, our posts a weird one too, can arrive any time between 8.45am and 4pm, seriously, those were the earliest and latest times last week, Christmas time it can be up to about 6pm. I do tend to do a morning 'online' stuff admin, but it only takes me 15 mins max usually. Once you manage to get on top of the paperwork seriously it doesn't take long. I bought a 2 drawer thing from Ikea which I put 'to be filed' in one and 'to deal with' in the other, I then file it usually once a week, sometimes more often. The recycling bag is handy and anything flingable usually goes in it daily, the most important part of my new paperwork routine is bin what doesn't need keeping straight away! I would file it daily if my filing cabinet wasn't on it's last legs...hate opening and closing it.

Pleurgh, what smells in my fridge? I just went to get some milk and it's humming it's own tune in there, yak!!! Suppose a deep clean of it's on the list **sobs in coffee** right where are my gloves....

Hi everyone!

Quick question - what is the best/safest way to clean plugs and plug sockets - minimal risk of electric shock would be good! :eek:

I have a fab way to clean the microwave for those that haven't got round to it yet - cut a lemon in half , put it in a bowl of water and put the bowl in the microwave for about two minutes. Everything should wipe off really easily and microwave smells nice!!!

on with the cleaning!

Well done lil_me :T :T :T
Right i'm away to the dentist before i bottle it.:rotfl:
