Zed - Good luck with the box room. There are several of us with spaces like that! I want to see an after photo please.
Triker - I like your career research method, makes a lot of sense to me.
Kaz, Tag and anyone else with a 'temporarily' unsupportive partner - just hugs really. Amuses me now that I divorced first husband who used to do most of the cleaning and all of the ironing on condition that I cleaned the bathrooms which he hated doing. Unfortunately he was also cleaning a number of other ladies bedrooms so he had to go. At least number two is trustworthy if spectacularly undomesticated.
I am working from home today so I have a household list and a work list, so far I have put the WM on and messed about on here. Whoops. Trouble is it is nice and sunny outside and there is so much that needs doing in the garden where I would much rather be. Does weeding count as flying?
I must:
empty the bins
clear the exploded nappy from DS2s bed and change his bedding
find DS1's appointment card for Friday
Level 1 the bathroom
change the litter tray
post four jobs on reed
read up on security clearance
and play in the sunshine'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Sorry TAG, already off and missed your start... Hope you did well - Hows OH's head? :rotfl: ...toottifrootti wrote: »flower slow down woman you are making me tired just reading your posts and imagining you fleeing round!!!

Ha ha, sorry Toots, but I have been sitting on my @rse all week since Friday and needed to get on... So I did:
Finished the floor, vacuumed the rug and cleaned the coffee table
Quick wiped the front room windows with window cleaner and paper towel
Vacuumed the hall and stairs
Washed down the floor in the hall and the skirtings (where the dogs lay there, always messy - glad I've got laminate...)
Put cushion covers and throw in WM
So now I am having a well deserved cuppa and a quick break then on with the kitchen...
Isn't it nice and Sunny out? Perhaps thats why I feel so good today, windows are open everywhere and the fresh air is LOVELY...LBM April 2013 - £29,000.00Vanquis CC's PAID - Debenhams SC PAID - A+L OD PAID - Asda CC £783.75Barclaycard CC £1400.78 - BoS CC PAID - Freemans Cat PAIDF/D Loan & CC £1458.96 - Santander Loan PAID - Mum Loan PAIDRBS OD PAID - F/D OD £1026.52Weekly Grocery Challenge - £95.00 budget / spend £-0 -
