    Afternoon

    It is really cold and I've done very little, actually nothing. Oh got some coal on the way back from the garage and both cost loads so hope to get some of it back on my NCT sales.

    Think I'll clean the bathroom and get DS2 to tidy his room for a quick clean.

    I was going to town but it is too cold and I can't be bothered.

    In the 2nd HHC I vacuumed the stairs (as much as I can), kitchen and hallway; hung wash load up to dry and wiped the fridge (it's too full to clean it properly :p )

    Hope everyone is ok :D

    Almost all ironing done - it's slightly damp so needs to air and I don't want to overload the maiden.
    Pots washed.
    Work done. More to do...
    Forgot to post that I have now got a new battery in the car key so I can lock the car even in the dark when I can't see the keyhole - and find it again in the car park:p

    Have read Froddy's list and rather think I ought to vacuum the stairs - preferably before the heating comes on as it's a warm job!
