    Morning All

    I've now thought of a problem, I need to collect dog food today so I'll be picking up 2 x 15kg bags up. I normally keep them in the conservatory but I have now moved the bookcases to where they go. Any ideas where I can stick 30kg of dog food?

    I'm up just about, got all done last night except the kitchen(can you tell i hate the kitchen:rotfl: ), well the table is clear and wiped.

    My DS1 got a transformer for christmas, the one that changes into a car. All i can say is nightmare, took me 2 hours to change it and even then it wouldn't stay together right but DS1 loves it and still wants it changed back and forth every day. He gets himself in such a state over it.

    juliejim have you an outside shed that it could sit in. Good luck with the MOT.

    Pinkfairy my headache is still here but alot better, i can actually get on with stuff without feeling that someone is poking me in the brain with a pencil.:rotfl: The doc gave me enough tablets for 10 days so i'll keep on with them but i will be stocking up on all stuff recommended here.
    Feel really guilty as the kids have been stuck inside bored all week.

    Lil-me take it easy, you've alot on.

    Right tesco to be here between 10-12, do you think they'll mind if i'm still in my pj's.:rotfl:

    Right cuppa and some breakfast.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.

    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Good luck for the MOT Juliejim!
    Full of beans and the sun is shiningfor now. I've done a HHC in the kitchen, BM on, WM on. I'm just having a cuppa then I'll do HHC in the bathroom at 9.30. I washed and dried towels and bathmats and shower curtain yesterday. The pink yuk on the shower curtain seems to be at bay..it says to wash at 30' but I tried it at 60' with the white wash and it didn't melt or anything so it saves buying another. Don't know if it's still waterproof but it's not mouldy!

    Anyone in for the HHC at 9.30?

    Solwaykid that made me laugh:rotfl: . So a 60' wash got rid of the mould, may have to try this today, our's is awful did put it in a 40' wash but it didn't really improve it much.

    Morning all,

    Been up for ages but only just got dressed. I have decided on my action plan for the day:
    • Fry up breakfast :D
    • 11am Hairdresser - comes to my house :D
    • Sort out bureau - I have not sorted this out for positively years. There's junk and all sorts in there which can either be ebayed or binned
    • BM
    • Decide on something for dinner and ferret around in the freezer for it.
    • WM x 2
    • Ironing :(
    That should do for now. Have a good one ladies
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    My stepdad has been round and cleaned my windows.. so now I have to do the insides of most of them.. the kitchen and front room are ok but the upstairs ones... aren't.. lol.

    Best find my list and 'edit' it... there are some things I will not be doing this week.
