Hello everyone [lunges for black coffee]
Good morning Mummy - apologies - no sooner than you kindly say I support the thread with my posts, then I promptly disappear for 24 hrs!! And you haven't slipped at all, don't know how you keep up with everyone tbh - hope you had a good day out yesterday.
Just to be clear, I can't do "special" office clear out this coming week as too busy (intending to do so week after) but maybe you and Pushmepullyou could get a head start and I'll catch up - carpe diem and all that
Just been extremely busy here (office) and unusually we were out Friday night and last night too (got in at 1.30 this am - yawn - and then was too intoxicated wired to sleep so did some ironing for 40 mins to calm down)
Hope everyone is soaring high ...
Mini-M hope the visit goes well and that you have got over your colds.
Congrats on your productive day yesterday MissBennett (I have managed to put on weight this week despite drinking water and scrupulously eating my 5-a-day - I think it's because I was sat in front of a screen for most of the week) Glad your dd2 is feeling better btw.
tibni have fun today - I really miss going to traditional English agricultural shows ...
"Yo" to WhereChaos - all your new plans sound v. exciting - good luck with them - and look forward to "seeing you" soon when you come back on-line. Have a good trip and

Mmango Oh dear! I DO use dh's old underpants (NB they have been washed at
90°c!! and are v. good quality, thick cotton so seems a shame to waste as usually just a bit holey!!) and old towels cut in half - keep a stack in the bathroom itself (out of sight).
I also have a spray of half white vinegar/half water which I use to spray shiny bathroom surfaces: tiles, mirrors, surfaces, leave until dry-ish but not completely dry, then rub off with stiff old towel.
Newspaper is the most eco-friendly solution (the print removes smears and makes everything shiny) but although I use it to polish windows, I don't use it in the bathroom because it's easy to get finger prints everywhere ...
here are some examples of afternoon routines
Personally, I have merged my afternoon and evening routines in to one because I am old tired and lazy trying to make better use of my time to do more creative things in the evening. So, I tend to combine like with like ie
- when clearing up from supper, I wipe down table and immediately set breakfast things ready
- when home from school I try and tend to wet laundry washed that morning, then load machine again on time delay switch to come on for following morning (if that makes sense)
- when dd gets changed out of her school uniform when she comes home, at the same time as putting her dirty clothes in the panier, we lay out clean clothes for the next morning
- when emptying out dd's bag and lunch box after school, lay out clean lunch box with non-perishable things in it (eg. oatcakes, apple, napkin) for next day

Optimistic 'tis good you are chilling
MrsDinky are there any clubs/organisations/local interest groups that you could join? (I still have pictures of my first car bought when I was 19 many, many moons ago!! Still bring them out and sniff when I look at them occasionally!!)
Tallulah hope you had better night last night
lol at your alternative "vegetable patch" PA - my old bras would certainly make good grow-bags
Well done for getting back on track Ellie
Hello to Pluto MrsGok Feetheart 1981 and anyone I have missed?
Have we lost BlackYellowREd btw?
Managed to get through must of my tasks on Friday but not doing much Flying this w/e tbh. Yesterday was usual ballet, errands, lunch, followed by afternoon in office while dd "helped" by "rearranging" stationery cupboard, followed by church and traiteur dinner.
Today = morning routine, homework (dd),riding, lunch, party (dd), get ready for tomorrow.
Still not making in roads in to the clutter. Must try harder.
Back to post about body clutter later.
Have a lovely Sunday everyone!
