Well done maddylou, don't wear yourself out though,take breaks, that is always important but especially important for you as you have been ill and 90% better. And stress at work will make you worn out. Bet it is a relief to have handed in your notice.


You have inspired me to get going

I have:-

washed one sinkful of pots
got youngest dc dressed
now going to shop for milk etc

Then got to make dinner for me and kids

It's never ending isn't it?

Ok an hour since I started and am back.

Went out to the binshed and met the lady who lives downstairs and we had a good old bitch about other people in the close and I told her all about my stolen mop, she was outraged. So am pleased to have found an allie in the close.

a1b2, thanks. Think have used too much cleaning products as its making me a bit wheezy - oops. Yes my boss had been shouting at me over hosp appointments - to get a heart monitor fitted ffs. Still have a one day job and am picking up some extra. Oh and when I handed in my notice she told me to get out, so am getting paid to not be there for 4 weeks Had job interview on Friday and they mentioned a second one next week so just need to wait and hear if thats going ahead.

Ok so fridge have emptied, thrown away some stuff, cleaned door and washed all the compartments that come off. But theres a big block of ice at back, have a pot of boiling water in just now. Any other ways to melt it? Fridge off obv. Have used salt before but then you are left with salty water puddles to clean up.

oops sorry, got mixed up there over nicknames
well done girraffes and maddy.
think some people use a hairdryer to defrost fridge. Never tried that method myself though. Would have to be careful of not getting electric shock with mix of electrical item (hairdryer) and possible puddles of water from melting block of ice.

[giraffescantdancelikeannw]

Well I just left some of the ice and gave up. I will battle with it another day. I have though -

put a wash on, put clean clothes away, swept floors, mopped floors, tidy up, set up travel cot, polished wood, cleaned fridge, put bins out, hung up washing, did the dishes, cleaned kitchen, changed bedding oh and been to the gym as well today. Now I can go and pick up my lovely niece
