Smelly washing machine? Unsightly loo? Kim (she of the wonderful hair and half of Kim and Aggie) took her Marigolds to Mumsnetters' mucky ways in a live webchat. Read her tips and advice and remember, ventilation, ventilation, ventilation... KimWoodburnwebchat

Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

have just made a list of important jobs i need to do this week, going to see how far i can get with tomorrow

well off to see if dd has finally gone off to sleep so i can go to bed hmm
I sorted my freezer out the other day. I have in there now, a bag of chips, some turkey drummers, a bag of mixed veg, a bag of peas and a box of choc ices.
Can I make a meal with that? lol
I'm trying to keep it empty to encourage me to cook from fresh mpre often. I should really get some back up meals in there though for when the dinner I cook is nasty like tonights was. Ds1 ate it, but me and dp didn't like it at all. We ended up having chips with grated cheese.

Ironing is done. Yay.
Dare I ask? LBB Kingston-upon-Thames or Kingston-upon-Hull or another Kingston?
Starbear, 11 days for presents sounds like forward planning to me grin
pumpkin stew and garlic bread sound delicious
I'm leaving on 15th so I must thnk about defrosting my poor freezer too and removing all those strange oddments collecting there. LLuckily dh will still be here to eat leftovers.
Scatty, teapots in garden sound v. civilized, better than waterpistols, or worse still waterbombs made of showercaps - today's invention.
swan wow, take it easy.
I'm meeting one of the mum's of my post-natal thread in Kingston tomorrow and need to be out the house by 9am, or else I'd just iron an outfit whilst ds1 had breakfast, but might be rush rush rush in the morn
Agree about having nothing ironed to wear LBB, although some of my clothes iron themselves once on shock

An amazing thing happened, after a delicious lunchwinkdh suddenly suggested we move ALL the furniture for the ds2 room change project.
So we covered house in chaos for a while, dust and boxes everywhere, dts miraculously played happily downstairs, and ds1 tired enough not to be a problem till 4.00 then tranquillized further by telly, AND IT IS ALL MOVED, and ds2 (dd too on floor in her sleeping bag grin) has a clean tidy new room.
Only took five hours I reckon.

Now I'm doing a major paperwork chuck, starting with the schoolwork, keeping only selected highlights, a real nostalgia trip back to Reception Years.
Boxes of grownup papers still to sort upstairs.
I need to do the ironing. I've been putting it off and off again and now I have nothing to wear tomorrow so needs to be done now. I'm going to do it the FLY way and set my timer. 30 minutes sounds reasonable

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
