I've just cleaned my floors... looks & smells lovely.
Maybe you should do the same?
(Ok, I shut my eyes and count to 10 and it's all dirty again!)

Top up the rinse aid and salt in your dishwasher?

Hello, would you like to come over and pick up my eldest from pre school then make dinner for both children and put them to bed? My husband works evenings and 5-9pm is my absolute worst time of day

NotMyCat · 11/08/2021 16:21

Come do my job until 6.30? You just have to answer the phone constantly and be nice to people Grin
I need more caffeine...

@ProperVexed Poor you! I hope you're spared any cramping. Can you take an iPad in there and watch a film or series to pass the time?

You're allowed berries when low carbing and you can switch out the flour in the crumble for 50/50 oat flour and oats - add in a granular sweetener and you're good to go 😊

@ProperVexed

I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow. I have just drunk a litre of liquid dysentery aka movicol prep. Please could you sit on the loo for me....and perhaps turn up at the hospital tomorrow? I'm dreading it!
That sounds like I might get a day away from my house and the huge amount of teens in it, so yes

Get yourself some ice grips that attach to the bottom. My parents swear by them.
