    Can you keep this thread going please or I'll get bored and have to tackle the cupboard under the stairs. (You know, the one where you open the door and chuck everything when somebody knocks on the door).

    Ah yes...........the Avalanche Cupboard :eek:
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

    OMG Dont even mention that cupboard as last time I went into mine I had to take everything out and tidy it up just to get the door shut again:eek:

    I did sneak a quick peek the other day and it really is getting quite bad in there so I really must be brave and sort it out but not today:D

    That cupboard is known as 'the glory hole' in my family :D

    Today I am turning over a new leaf, I an going to tidy my bedroom & car. Why? Because I can't find my bl**dy phone & if it not in either of those places my dozy step son has taken it back to Ireland with him.

    In my new shiny kitchen I decided to make some pickles last night. Took the lid off a new tin of dried mustard powder and suceeded in flinging half of it straight into the open cutlery drawer. Now I have more washing up to do than you ever thought would be possible.
    I've finished the laundy though. Now I have to put the whole lot away. :eek:

    I've given up on vinegar and stardrops, don't seems to work for me, not that I've given them much of a try, thank goodness for Jif of Cif, whatever it's called, found some in the shed and it's called Jif so must have been there for a long time. So now the bath actually shines!! Was planning to sort out my paperwork in my 'office', but thought I just check my mails first, then got carried away and loged on to MSE, that was the best part of an hour ago!!! Soon be time to watch the boat race, with a bit of luck it will be choppy and one or maybe both boats might sink, which will liven it up a bit, sorry to those who take it seriously.
    Also defrosted the freezer and found a packet of smoked salmon welded to the ice on the 'roof' of the freezer, possible been there since Christmas, so that's a bonus, just need to find a recipe to use it up. The paperwork will have to wait for another day.

    The LB's were nosing ahead as I went to change shoes for extremely toe-holey, ancient of days, beloved Uggboot slippers - came back and all was lost.

    Aawwww! Sorry A

    But have to admit I was routing for the other side.

    Pourquoi?? Many years ago, did the iUCCA nterview for C (churchill)..spent a terrible night with vegetable lorries from the Fens thundering past every 5 mins throughout the night. Really put me off (my excuse for failing the interview ;);) ..but actually I always wanted to go to Oxford anyway but parental pressure etc etc)

    So apologies...but :D
    Much love

    PS Perhaps will see you next friday??? Really hope so.
