Johanne have you seen the tickets on the side off kelloggs cereal boxes, they allow one person free entry adult or child. xx

OMG!!!!! There is no way BF will take me there!! I dont think he'd risk his paintwork :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Chester it is!!!!

The only area DH's car was "interesting" was when we were going through the monkey (I think) area - there is a "car friendly route" i.e. you can look at them with a fence between you and them! we have some very interesting pictures of the water skushers being nibbled. Thankfully DH is of the opinion that it adds character to his car :rotfl: although there were other cars that they really seemed to dislike :eek:

imho they are both a great day out - for sure there is more to do at Chester Zoo. Although Knowlsey was a rainy day and Chester was sunny so maybe that is influencing me!

I have cleaned the washing machine filter - I hate that job - it smells vile - squirted some bleach done the whole and have now put it on a boil wash with soda crystals.

Worktop done. Going to make lunch for DS3 and his friend and then tackle the floor - think it could be a two mop day

:cool: ORF I have captured the image of the van - it has been there since I reported for duty before 8:00 - I doubt the squirrel was awake then:cool:

Just stopped for a cheese and onion sandwich and a cuppa. My progress so far:

Killer Kitchen - Monday
Level One
[strike]Clear and wipe work surfaces[/strike]
[strike]Clear the window sills (*rofl* not likely!!)[/strike]
Level Two
Sweep and Mop the floor
Wipe the cupboards, appliances and all those manky corners!!
[strike]Take down and clean the lightshades.[/strike] - This has taken most of the morning! lots of plastic discs and fiddly screws involved, but worth the effort. I unscrewed one of the lightbulbs and a dead earwig fell out:eek:
Level Three
Clear and wipe the tops of the wall units... not you porky pregnant people though.. I know you are so keen!
Wipe over all those small appliances.. don't forget the inside of the microwave!
[strike]Wipe out the gicky parts of the fridge and have a quick check for what needs restocking.. I have locusts off school!! [/strike] - vegbox just arrived so fridge is looking a bit healthier now
Extras

• [strike]Clean oven/hob if you must.. *rolls eyes* [/strike]
  
• I even did the extractor and metal splashback. Thanks to Gunsandbanjos for the Barkeeper's friend suggestion. The scorch mark has all but gone now.
• Clean windows
• Go play a game with the children who have helped you today!!-still at school
• Two loads of washing done and two hung out, Third one in the WM now.

So far so good.

ok I have 5 cut and ready to go and 3 on boxes :rotfl:

on a flying note have been up to the garage and now have the drill and screwdrivers required for next task... and the timer I forgot that! I was wondering around between rooms wondering why I could see no difference!
