"Oy!! My Razzle is in that Manifesto. Its a "Dulwichmum" original"


*Thankfully Mrs T is strangely impervious to fire, probably a good, all things considering*


"Has anybody got the key to the gun room? My elephant gun is stored there and I need to put a newbie out of our misery. Ah yes here it is, under the half full soda stream bottle"


*Opens lavvie door, grabs Manifesto/Razzle off red devil. Hand Manifesto back*


"Sorry! Meant to mend that lock years ago, Mrs Dobbin the lactating donkey kicked it open when suffering from mastitis. Nice undies by the way"


*Settles in comfy chair with Razzle, elephant gun, gun-oil and rags*


*Whistles tunelessly*

*Outside door am nearly knocked over by 'Rags'* - (pedigree fox-cat-cross and leader of the Fellbrigg Rd wolf pack)


*-who shoots out of newly-installed cat flap* - (I'm a dab-hand with a router, MDF, & a 360 hinge - it also scares Woody away)


*-fleeing awful whistled version of Dark Horse by George Harrison*


*-and overpowering smell of gun oil and bhaji liniment*

Albina wafts in for a touch of damp dusting but decides a total refit is in order. 3 drives past with an industrial floor sander, 2 coats of industrial floor varnish and 6 litres of Farrow & Ball Elephant's Breath later and she can finish off by damp dusting the plantation shutters.


Hurrah! Next year will be the best year ever. Looking forward to the best New Years party this postcode has ever seen (faints).

I'd suggest something retro yet daring-


A Windolene white-out with finger-written messages (according to season etc.) and an optional newspaper/sellotape collage over the hole where the xpelair was.

I see that your skin care regime has become more assertive in your twilight years. Good to have you back I was rather expecting to see you in a "Those that have passed in 2013" article in People Friend.

    • I disagree with the who concept of tidying one room at a time. I find it's more effective to increase the overall level of tidy by 10% regularly, and take regular breaks.  Always straighten your bed first - your bed is your priority and your haven. Change the sheets if you have clean ones to use. 1. pick up all rubbish around the house; take it out. 2. pick up all crockery etc that needs a wash: put it all in one place and start to sort it out. Wash and dry whatever you can put away easily. Wash things by type - I'll do cups then plates, then cutlery, then pots..... 3. Kitchen surfaces - tidy things you can, be ruthless - everything is going to need a home. Sweep the floor, wipe the surfaces. 4. Pick up all laundry around the house. Start to sort it out so you are in control of it - wash types together - eg all sheets.  4. bathroom - so on..... Then, the entire house is an better environment. and you can just keep going.  
    • There was me overcome with memories of articles in women's magazines from the 1950s advising their readers how to be a good housewife and thinking it's like feminism never happened. Until I read the last paragraph. Be warned, this is PR from someone who runs a cleaning company.
    • Carpet can be a pain at times, the maintenance takes effort. I’ll look into that spray as a handy in-between for freshening things up. Steam cleaners are becoming more popular too and definitely seem more hygienic than a mop and bucket.  
    • I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
