well I tried to throw/donate a dressing gown - Mum buys me two every year :rotfl:
She grabbed it off me, and went "It's M&S, you can't get rid of that!"
also offloaded 3 white aprons to her and handwashed the other items

Lol, mine is very similar! I dropped my engagement ring last Tuesday night and of course it disappeared....I thought under the floorboards :eek: After I'd told various people they'd all offered to come round & help me get it back - so I hurridly had to pull the bed & cabinets out & clean behind them so's not to shame myself.....and in the process hoovered up my ring.....well at least it's clean now and the neighbours didn't need to see my messy bedroom!

5 years ago i lost my watch i took it off at night and could not find it in the morning - by the time i found it 18 months later (battery had run out) i was moving house and was taking my bed to bits it was under the mattress and had got caught in the bed frame - no idea how it got there - maybe i should turn my mattress more frequently!

The laundry basket is empty but the ironing pile is beyond belief. I put my house up for sale a couple of weeks ago and thought I had better do some of it. I found t-shirts and cropped trousers that I washed to wear last summer and never did (thanks to the weather). They are now back in the suitcase under the bed waiting for this summer!

ssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Don't tell the flyladies I'm over here.

Dinner tonight was homemade chicken nugets (chicken rolled in c&o chrisps and breadcrumbs) and good old Fake Roasities (Aunt Bessies) - Last night it was an M&S pie.

Great thing about the AGA is it is self cleaning (well it's so bl@@dy hot anything spilt in or on it turns to carbon)

I have removed all the plaster dust from downstairs.

I have piles on my piles of stuff needing sorting out/ebaying/charity shop.

Upstairs looks like we've been burgled but as nobody is invited up there they won't know - tomorrow I will tackle it.

Living with 3 fruit bats the fruit bowl is almost always empty.

Just finished a full week at work and sat and scoffed a full pack of fig rolls because I just can't get enough energy to even put the kettle on..never mind cook tea.

Just waiting for the sugar rush to kick in so i can lurch into action and wash up the breakfast pots, get the washing on and do some cleaning etc etc as I'm back at work tomorrow for a days overtime...argh-h-h-h!

Large vet bill to pay so the chance to earn some overtime pay is a blessing but the thought of getting up at 6 tomorrow when everyone is snuggled down and sleeping is a bit yuck.

...and please will someone turn off the big tap in the sky??? I have two large heaps of washing to do and a large pile waiting to be dried. I have so many things on airers and internal washing lines - the house looks like a chinese laundry :rotfl:. Will be changing my user name to Mrs Wishy-Washy-Woo if we don't get a decent drying day soon!

It hasn't stopped snowing for one minute all day here !!

ginnyknit

:grouphug:Think its time to send Mardatha sweetie parcels guys. She sounds a bit fed up with the snow, and you can"t blame her, she has had more than her fair share up there.

Has any of you ever thrown away recyclable stuff because it was accumulating somewhere and nobody was getting rid of it, and it was always left to you?

Confession: I have! The only way to recycle tetrapaks is to take them to the local MrS, where there is a facility (the council does not take tetrapaks at the doorstep recycling). We have soya milk, occasional cartons of fruit juice and regular packs of cat food for our two cats. Every couple of weeks there is usually a bag full of tetrapak waiting to be taken to the recycling and for most part I oblige. But on a couple of occasions, notably one very recently, the bag grew and grew and one day I just could not watch it anymore, I did not have the time to trek to MrS, it was an early Monday and the rubbish had not yet been picked up, so I stuffed tetrapacks, bag and ALL in the rubbish bin. Shortly after, the rubbish men came and took away the proof of my environmental crime LOL

Caterina - thanks for the hint that Sainsbury's offer a recycling facility for Tetrapak. I hadn't noticed one at ours so must check more carefully because I feel very guilty about throwing ours into the rubbish bin. The problem is that I find them quite difficult to squash up to save space unless I jump on them. What a huge amount of plastic we must waste with all the plastic milk bottles in this country. With oil reserves running out, I wonder why we can't all return to glass milk bottles like we had as a child where the milkman simply collected them back from the doorstep every morning.

With all the profits made by our supermarkets, I'm surprised they can't institute some giant kegs like beer storage where you simply take your empty plastic milk bottles and fill them up. If this country had another major energy crisis like we did during the last war, they would be forced to come up with an innovative solution to stop all this plastic waste. It really grieves me.
