Dusting off our lists, scrubbing up our slattern ways, you won't find any April Fools here!

[PlumBumMum]

Everyone is welcome,
we are a friendly bunch,
we post our lists big or small,
tick jobs off as we go along.

We give each other a kick up the bum when needed or shoulder to cry moan on,
and a pat on the back.

Cake & Coffee Alcohol always welcomed

Not getting far with stuff here either.

Bleurgh all round I think eh?

Me and DS have been snoozing on the sofa.

wc just came round and dd weed on him , he was fine about it but I felt terrible!

Need to start thinking of a new title ladies. Not me, my brain is made of mush

was just googling for thread title inspiration and found thsi:

Slatterns fulfil a socially useful role: they allow others to feel superior, even other slatterns.

from here

I like that we are useful

Love that idea

at DD weeing on wc.

Can we plagiarise it do you think?

Need shouting at. Really do not want to do the ironing...

How about 'Summer slatterns having a blast and making everyone else feel better about themselves'.

In that article freak it answers your dusting question. She says spring clean by pulling out all the furniture and cleaning behind everything. Wipe down the skirting with a bucket of soapy water and clean upstairs first then downstairs.

Actually my mum is usually good at this kind of cleaning advice if she is about? Minim?

Morning, sorry I didn't come back to thread yesterday it turned into a hectic but nice day.

Alice hope you feel better soon .

Horrible start to the morning DD1 had a major meltdown and was screaming for over an hour about nothing. At one point I felt so stressed I thought I was going to throw up.She has gone to school now but I have a feeling she will be in a mood when she gets home .
