    Right all clean and presentable now.

    Going to walk into town to do my mystery shop and that will count as exercise for today.

    When I'm back:

    Cuppa
    pick tomatoes
    pick flowers for friend for tonight
    sow seeds
    move compost bin

    and then I think a little pampering session before going out tonight.

    I'll join in a little late as the kids are outside at the moment. If they come in and ask if it's time to do the baking yet I'll have to stop!

    Ahh I couldn't get on again last night or this morning, and now i find 13 pages to read over! Got a killer headache today so not doing very much, catching up on appointments and things. Going to clean the bathroom soon, then get ready for a girlie meal out for my friend who has just come home after 2 months in Thailand. I promise I'll behave and do lots of work tomorrow!

  • Flying is just so compulsive! Never thought I'd hear myself saying that about housework! HOuse is so much cleaner and tidier than I can remember - and now I see all the bits that still need doing and instead of just ignoring them, I have to get up and fix! 3 loads of washing today and the DW as well as finishing the oven - including taking the glass doors apart to do the insides!!
    unexpected visitor in the middle of the day slwoed me down but have finished the kid's bathroom and cloakroom and S & S'd my ensuite - so small that it only takes a minute! Just have to finish the hg rhubarab and ginger jam but will have to wait until tomorrow to boil up and pot.

    Hi all have made a start on today's list but am in the mood for crafting so not getting on very well with housework. Have done usual daily jobs - washing and dishes, but really need to get to grips with the bathroom.
