OH is still in bed, flu dragging it's heels and doesn't want to leave. I'm beginning to feel a bit ropey too, at leat DDs are back at school. Puppies are trying to catch a fly.

Zoo how's the sofa coming along, smell any fresher yet?

carrots i wouldnt mind but i stapped on a stray playmobile man and tehn stumbled and banged into her bed i mustve looked like i felt as she stopped laughing and put on her britches

adorabell sadly i can still smell it

i shall have one more try tomorrow with bicarb and lavender oil and then i may have to consider dumping iti have a strong sense of smell and it catches in my throat

i was considering getting rid and having a dining table again

, had a bit of a housekeeping shock because OH didn't clean up after his activity. I need your help, ladies, in deciding what to do with him.

Warning, it involves maggots, so if you have a weak stomach please move on to anther post, NOW!

The one thing I cannot deal with is maggots.

OH shot 2 pigeons, we have a problem with them. I shall point out the vital fact that OH is a clean freak and wants the house show home immaculate every moment of every day. So, the pigeons fell onto the upstairs balcony. OH then did not get rid of them , about a week ago.

We had rain over the weekend. Outside cold and wet, inside dry and warm.

Yesterday he told me that the bird corspses were still in situ. Today he woke up around 1pm today and said "the den is full of maggots" now, he is prone to over react/blow things out of proportion, so I thought I'd check before killing him. This room is 5 metres wide and the carpet was covered in maggots for about a metre back from the patio doors.

So, ladies, do I garot the OH, or am I allowed to hang, draw and quarter him?

He did, volantrerly, vacuum the entire house after we had both dealt with the health hazard, not that it makes any difference as I'm still in shock 10 hours later.

Zoo ,sorry your sofa is still a problem, hope you can find a solution for it.

Adora Yuk! That's horrible! Hope it's all better now!

Zoo I used to have problems with DD getting dressed sometimes. I now tell her if she doesn't get dressed (with my help) when I tell her she will go to nursery with no clothes on. it works --most of the time--

I have been doing some housework, just don't always manage to get on this thread to list it all. I am starting to make progress a little at a time

Lucytails we have a chatty thread HERE If you would like to join us, you are more than welcome.

Zoo I wish I knew what to do with your sofa. I hope your next attack works.

Adora that is just unbelievably vile. (that is ill not envy) Yuk, yuk, yukkity, yuk!

How do you clean up such a problem? I wouldn't know where to begin.

How is everyone?

Ta Das:
washed and dressed (bath water ran out with no fuss and I even got a little whirlpool at the end. Dh was that I stood and watched and was then so excited I dragged him through to see the whirlpool. He needs to take me out more!)
ds's snacks sorted
ds's school bag packed
wm on
downstairs hoovered

I really don't feel like it today. I don't even want a boot. Can I ask permission just to do what the mood takes me to do today please? [pleading emoticon]

Permission granted carrots

I have got the DC up, ready and to school/nursery and have loaded the washing machine.

Thanks Cats
