Luda I love toad in the hole but we have toad in cheesy holes. Add grated cheese to the batter mix before pouring over the sausages. Yummy!

hello everyone's been busy today

I have done nothing at home but have had a busy day at work (9-3), finished early to take lo's to a party which was lots of fun (and I managed to resist too much picking at the yummy party food). Just home now. Kids ate at the party but all this talk of toad in the hole has made me hungry - think we have some sausages in our nice clean freezer so dh and I might have that for supper

Hope to avoid too much FLYing tomorrow but there are some bits and pieces I must do while dh can occupy the kids.

HazelNuts · 13/01/2007 20:39

Evening all.

Everyone have been busy though its the weekend

I have aswell. tided and hoovered the whole of the house. Went to town as forgot bread and milk yesterday

Then this afternoon, played games with the DC and then we all cooked dinner.

The kitchen is all cleaned now and the DW is on.

I might do all the beds tomorrow. The washing and drying of bedding is ok Its the making and putting the clean dry bedding away that I don't like

Night Ivor

Sleep well

Can MN head office make a sleepy smiley?

glitterfairyrenewed · 13/01/2007 22:21

Just to ask (but may make a special thread) does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of the brown stain on mugs from tea? I remember someone telling me to saok in bicarbonate of soda but am not sure that is right.

HazelNuts · 13/01/2007 22:30

I used to use just normal soapy water and a sponge with these scrubby thingy on. Or I used to leave in bleach water over night and then wash and rinse out with boiling water. That made to mugs look like new

Jelley · 14/01/2007 07:14

Biological washing powder and hot water. Leave to soak. (That is teastains, btw. I love it when I know the answer to something.

Will go and read the rest of the thread. Back later.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 14/01/2007 08:55

good morning! It looks as though it's going to be a nice day here so i'm not going to much FLYing, but will get outside with the kids and enjoy the day before the wind and rain returns.

Can't avoid all the jobs though and do need to ~
~wash school uniforms
~maybe try to file the household paperwork...maybe not
~do big food shop
~could do with runnning the hoover round but we'll see how it goes
~dh wants to wash the car

that's it I think, need to have an easy day and enjoy some time with the family

ludaloo · 14/01/2007 09:07

morning all

ivor hope all went well with your ds and his tights! What panto did you see?

HN good luck for tommorrow...will be thinking of you xx
