Morning aufish and ludaloo. Working hard this week so not going to get much flying done and then have job applications to write and a presentation for tomorrow to do. The house is getting chaotic again and this may be due to ds having cooked breakfasts pre SATs!

sleepless, soak it in a sink of cold water then put some vanish on the stain and chuck it in the wash.

bloodstains

Report
ludaloo · 15/05/2007 09:16

stacey Kim and Aggie suggest lemon juice for removing bloodstains...
Anthea says.."On washable fabrics rinse quickly in cold water then soak in strongly salted water for a few hours before washing as normal."

Hope they help?

No idea about the antibiotics though!

OK... I'm tired and grumpy already today! This rain is really getting me down now...
I'm fed up with the state of the house, it's awful, hasn't been this bad for ages and it's really getting me down. I MUST get on with clearing up - not just cleaning but actually getting rid of some of the junk that seems to have built up lately. Paperwork is a big issue, I avoid it at every opportunity and feel helpless about it...I start with good intentions but it all gets too much and ends up being shoved out of sight somewhere.
Think I'll leave a list and just get on - start with cleaning up upstairs, making the beds etc and move downstairs then hope for some time to start clearing out more later/tomorrow.
Sorry, rant over
Have a good day everyone

shouldbe Hugs to you!!! I know exactly how you feel so you have my sympathy. Hopefully if you manage to get a fair bit done today it will make you feel a lot better. Re the paperwork....again I feel your pain!! Best policy is to just get stuck in...do a bit at a time and don't get bogged down rearranging everything...just sort it and file it away. Good luck I plan to try downloading MSN again today, so might catch you on there in a bit xxxxx

Am now laughing at my silly mistake! I thought I had typed link but thanks for the wink! It is much appreciated. Just blubbing my eyes out as I'm watching Jeremy Kyle show in Kenya with the HIV kids. Our kids are so lucky and we should never complain about what we have and haven't got.

My to do list, once I've stopped blubbing:

Hoover and polish
Clean the bath, done the toilets and sinks before I went to school
W/M loaded and tumble dryer loaded
general tidy up
have some brekkie and coffee
clean the dining room table and sweep up underneath it.

Will be back in awhile.

Sooooo....started with the room furthest away and finally got around to tackling dds wardrobe. It's such a relief to have got it done and her room looks so much better now the wardrobe doors shut properly She doesn't have as many clothes as I thought, they were just folded badly and took up too much space! There's a bag of bits for the charity shop too
Need to move on to my bedroom next which isn't too bad but there are a couple of piles of clothes on the floor that need attention....then the bathroom, then downstairs...

Only have an hour left with no dcs so better get on - Back later x

I'm thread hogging today...
Starting to feel a little better but it's all been very slow progress....
Upstairs is looking miles better All the bedrooms are done except the spare room/dumping ground which will take a bit more time to sort so I'm saving that till later in the week.
Need to go and collect ds now so downstairs will have to be done with him helping ()after lunch...will put off the piles of papers until the rest of the house is looking OK - hope to get around to it by Thursday or Friday...

Hi all

Sorry if I've missd anything. I've finally got my house back and can mn guilt -free. The place is a tip, and washing is building up, as I'm trying not to t/d everything so can only do 1 or 2 loads a day. I prepared tonights tea last night, and put it in the slow cooker, so that is one job done, at least.
