    Having a break. DS is making me a cup of tea.:j

    Wow aren't these fling boogies the thing ay? I've just cleared (actually in the middle of clearing) the top shelf of a built in wardrobe in my bedroom. I've already filled a bag for charity (collecting tomorrow) came downstairs and another charity bag has been poked through the door for Monday, so will be filling that as well. :j

    Plus I've found 2 pink pillowcases that DD can have. Will go perfectly with her Bratz bedding. And, a lilac fleece blanket that will do her as well in the winter months. Just saving myself £20 cos I was gonna buy both.

    Off to do more in a mo.

  • Bathroom walls are now clean, thanks to flylady spray. The question is why did I leave it for so long when it only took 25 minutes to do?:confused:

    I think the word procrastinate applies to me when it comes to housework!

    put away last nights ironing
    [/strike][strike]put away dried washing from airer[/strike]
    iron dired washing from airer
    [strike]empty WM[/strike]

    I found that with getting the gunk off the grout in between the bathroom tiles. I was dreading it. But armed with a toothbrush and a bit of bleach it took me no more than 10 mins.;)
