Another problem how do you get a 3metre length of worksurface home in a car? It seems from the web site its either that or order for delivery and wait 5 weeks.....help!!!!

Amazing what can be done in an hour after school/work when you have help - even if only aged 5!

Childrens list.

1. [strike]
   
2. Load the dishwasher (DW) if you have one[/strike]
3. [strike]
   
4. Can you fill the washing machine (WM) with things that are all the same colour and switch it on?? This is a very important thing to learn.. many big clever daddies struggle with this job.. even our daddy.. so if you can do this.. you are cleverer than him![/strike]
5. [strike]If you are a bigger little person could you wipe over the fronts of the kitchen cupboards and fridge/freezer/washing machine.. sometimes you need to check the insides too as they get a bit sticky..[/strike]

Also wiped down all the paintwork around 3 doors, and the doors, reorganised the open shelves and got agreements to help when I "do" the insides of the big cupboard next week! And stray Lego and shoes rehomed happily and correctly.:D

And apparently my Flyboy needs a list to clean his playhouse next week when he is home. As his reading isn't that good yet, I think some clipart might be in order to design him something to help sort out his playhouse ready for the playing season!

Welcome lil Claire, you'll find even if you do just one thing on the daily list, you'll feel better for it - and your place will look better for it too

Mudbath - no, it doesn't look like the flat tyre spell worked - maybe it was the garlic I've got positioned around the place that warded it off

Do you have a tow bar or know someone with one and borrow a trailer if possable.

vivw_2

Unfortunately no....thats the problem. However have just noticed that the guy across the road has a 4 by 4 and had a roof rack - would that hold it?

Mudbath

dinner over, yum yum, right, going to sort out the last of the washing as i know i'll have loads tomorrow when everyone comes home. think i'll also start to gut my clinic.

anyone for a hhc?

I think most van hire places will do a 4 hour hire - or at least they did when we last needed one!

eta - I suggested this as I cannot think how to fit one in/on a car!

ok I am so blonde... just checked the length of my car and it might manage it - what size car do you/ does your neighbour have?
