    just an update on my progress, just having a break. went out for nice lunch at starbucks, and got as bit carried away cleaning the bathroom and ended up on my hands and knees doing the floor etc...looks better though. I am always good at keeping the bits you can see clean, not so good with the hidden bits - below the sink was gross....there's always hair everywhere in this house! want to do another load of washing but will wait until tonight/ tomorrow as no hot water left now and it will be on again tonight anyway.

    in addition to below i've chucked a couple of houseplants that were very dead, and am working up to repotting some of my others, and found a plastic thing to stick the washing up liq, brush etc in by the sink...

    hot wash on empty to clean washer
    bathroom - ledges, bath, tiles, sink, shelf, loo, towels, mat

    rest of flat - tidy, hoover through
    bedroom - clear airer-drobe, make bed,
    shop - sour cream, compost, printer paper
    change 3 remaining bulbs for low energy ones
    shredding / filing

    wash dyson filter
    make smear appt (worked out its about due after all)
    set up money transfer to friend
    wm - towels
    wm - general
    clean laundry put away - DH's is all that's left - have put on a pile on his pillow!!!

    Good afternoon, well almost good evening isn't it. Managed to eventually get away to the caravan today after lost key etc problems. Got a lot of cleaning to do in here before I leave again tomorrow, in fact might just pop up through the week,somewhere between oodles of meetings and appointments if I don't get everything done. Been swimming and aching :o must be doing me some good. Haven't heard from FIL to see if they know how/when they are getting back yet.

    Going to vacuum in a mo, gets the kids outside to play :D evil mother alert!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
