My mucky beige one sparkles but the stainless steel one in there will never sparkle. I don't know what DH did to it!

I shouted at DH last night as I tried to get a cookery book down and loads of tubes of glue and DIY bits fell on top of me. This was when I was chucking out cookery books for the charity shop as I was on a FLYlady mission!

We had a study which was bulging with books and then DS1 wanted his own room. So we merged our bulging study with the junk room (sorry spare bedroom!) and put the computer under the stairs where I can keep and eye on the children whilst they are using it. But the downside was that the bulging spare room did not merge well with a bulging study. So something had to go - I gave boxes (and I mean boxes) of books to the charity shop. We still have 3 bookcases (very tall ones IKEA special) that are bulging and I am now starting on my cookery books which are in the utility room. I use my favourites which are full of pictures. I *need* to keep my vegetarian ones as I always have a panic attack when a certain family come to stay but do we really *need* 3 Chinese cookery books when we *always* use the take away? And as for the French cookery book? I am working on moving that to the charity pile! Trisha SAHM to 3 boys Jack 8, 6 and Isaac 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to tell you list, this puppy looks completely EDIBLE (and I'm not Korean!) I completely echo Vicki's sentiments re not having cleaners (none available in this village even if we could afford them!) and Flylady with the caveat that you do need a minimum of energy in order to do the minimum she asks...

I caved too and re-subbed to Fly lady!! I now have 1 sparkling kitchen sink (stainless steel) and one not so sparkly one! One of the sinks (the main one) is white - and stained, don't think that one will ever sparkle again! I absolutely loath housework. My DH sacked our cleaners after I made the mistake of saying that they weren't terribly good - needless to say their half ars*d attempt at cleaning was better than me doing nothing. Cleaners are very expensive and very hard to find here - so I'm not holding my breath about getting a new one. Thing is, DH still piles his dirty dishes into my nice clean sink, forgets to open the bedroom curtains, and when I complained that he doesn't plump up the cushions on the sofa before he goes to bed he said that he had done it on the days I'd asked him to do it but didn't realise that it needed doing every day! -- http://www.foxstitch.co.uk SAHWM to (4), Kitty (2) and bump (expected Jan 2002) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 I've a white sink, too. It stains but the stains come off with a little bleach wiped round with a piece of kitchen paper and left to stand for 30 mins before rinsing.

Now this bit I dread. We've run out of wallspace for more bookcases, and bookcase space for more books. But the books just keep on coming... I think I'll be taking some boxes full to the Readers Rest next time I'm in Lincoln. Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Vicki - why don't we just exchange a couple of boxes of cookery books between us from time to time, to kid ourselves we're getting rid of books (visions of panic phone calls, " Vicki, can you look up the ingredients for soused haddock with marmalade, please? " !!) Caro .. I > think I'll be taking some boxes full to the Readers Rest next time I'm in > Lincoln. > > Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 yes, French cookery - dreams of the past - yesterday I dropped in on a friend whose husband had cooked large shallots in a parmesan cheese sauce with bacon - it was so fantastically delicious - with defined and blended flavours, and *real* flavours, I'd forgotten what really well thought out food tasted like!!! (A naked chef recipe adapted, apparently) ... for some future day when all children have left home perhaps? But sure you could find a French cookery then Trisha, as all the people with littlies will be turfing out their french cookery books (as long as you tell them about flylady!!) Caro Supper is in the crock pot (chinese chicken, with onion, mushrooms, bamboo thingys, no beansprouts, soy, ginger, garlic, tomato ... smells great!)
