I hoovered, put the WM on, emptied the ash tray out of the wood burner and cleaned the yucky burnt on stuff off the glass, emptied the dyson and fed the cats (again).

Still lots to do, and so cold that I am going to start a fire in my lovely clean stove.

hi again,
Well thats how things look now, off to cook some cookies or biscuits of some description, and then a lovely shower.
I love this thread- keeps me motivated but also allows me to set a sensible limit of what can be achieved whilst having time for other stuff too.
I hope everyone is well and hugs to anyone who needs them (a gentle kick for anyone who needs it too )

Well done flyladies!!!

In my HHC I...

Swept and mopped dining room and kitchen floors.

Now, when you understand that I have I beleive the world's most shedding dog, and the most stupid neurotic cat who keeps peeing in the corner of the dining room :mad: .... you'll understand how much bl**dy hard work that is!!!!!!!!

So, I had to clean and disinfect the broom that I'd swept through the pee without realising. Then contiue sweeping with the dustpan and brush, and even though I've swept already, the mop gets clogged with bl**dy dog hair and has to be cleaned out everytime. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Anyway, it's done now. *****phew*****

Awww Sarah poor you.
Our cat is now an outside cat- the final straw being me coming down one morning, looking for a drink half asleep but needing to feed DS (he was breastfed then so had to make sure I drank plenty), and finding a nice smelly poop in the porch. DH had gone to work without even smelling it! I am sure she peed on my resuable carrier bag pile too as they were all wet and smelling rough (they are now on top fo the fridge just in case she gets in!- new ones that is, the lovely collection built up over 3 years at least had to be dumped! ).
Well done for getting it done.

Here it is:

• Made beds (including sofa bed) with new bedding (needed it to make up a wash:j
• Swept kitchen and lounge floor
• Wiped down surfaces in bedroom
• Put a load in WM
• Got drinks made up for DS for the day

And....I got a call from business link (who was it that put me onto them? You're a star:T) Will start off going to a seminaar but will wait for the info pack so I can book a date. She said its usual for people to bring their kids but I cant imagine getting much benefit from doing that.

Still, it was a productive HH

Morning all

It's been raining for hours, so one load of washing done and hung upstairs.

Apart from washing up and wiping down sides in kitchen (I cleaned it yesterday) I haven't done anything yet. I'll vacuum later downstairs and do the stairs if I remember but the cat is asleep in her basket next to the vacuum cupboard and she'll panic and move if I get it out (good excuse?). It's really not bad anyway, there are only the two of us here for the next fortnight.
