Well done all you busy people not been feeling very good for last 2 days but fine now .House ,well i wouldn't say living rooms a mess but you could play eye spy in here for several days and not run out of objects.Will tackle it in 15 minute bites later.
Hazelnuts mum wishing her a speedy recovery try not to worry iv antibiotics are fab and work very quickly imo.
Going to clean bathroom in a mo dyed my hair brown last night(messy) it has been blonde forever but has gone quite dark since kids(anyone else had this).Not sure if i like it yet can't really do the growing out thing either it's nearly at my waist so looks like i'm stuck with it.Wonder if i'll stop having 'blonde moments' as DP calls them?

IvortheEngine · 05/11/2006 11:55

Nah, once a blonde, always a blonde.

tortoisestrappedtoarocket · 05/11/2006 11:59

Ive washed the kitchen and bathroom floors!
Thats all at the moment.

I'd like to get into this but the webpage is sooooo long. Can anyone give me a brief rundown or tell me what I should read on there and what I can dismiss. Probably too lazy to do it aren't I??

QuootiePieBANGERSandMash · 05/11/2006 12:18

I showered, cleaned the bathroom... had some food, and fed DS - thats about it! Trying to work out my radiators now because we've used £25 on the electric in 2 days, and one of them we werent even here!

tortoisestrappedtoarocket · 05/11/2006 12:21

Hi Delgirl.
I would say read about shining your sink!!
Don't bother with the emails. We say daily want the mission is and what zone we are in. Start with baby steps and do a little at a time.

DelGirl · 05/11/2006 12:21

ok thanks, i'll have a look.

QuootiePieBANGERSandMash · 05/11/2006 14:03

ludaloudbang · 05/11/2006 14:06

Hello,

Hi to Delgirl
