    Hiya
    I've quickly jumped on here to check my list out. Not sure when i'll have time to do it as i'm working all day - might have to be this evening.



    Vacuum & turn the mattress before replacing the clean covers
    HHC clearing the mess and gibble
    Deweb and defuzz the room.. don't forget to do the bed base!
    Vacuum the bedroom and the landing
    Sort through a cupboard

    Fill a binbag for charity shop.. they are crying out for stuff!!
    Go to bed early!

    I've already shoved the bedlinen in to be washed and opened the windows. I'm going to do HHC clearing mess and gibble inbetween clients and i'm going to clear DSs wardrobe as my cupboard. I'm sure that will give me enough stuff to fill a charity bag. That will just leave vacuuming and going to bed early. Result. I'll delete stuff later when i've done it.

    Hope everyone's having a good day xx
  • Morning all - and especial good morning to any newbies!

    So far today I've conquered the ironing mounting - no small acheivement as it's been at least twelve months since I've done it all. Very pleased with myself. Have also caught up on 11 pages of the thread whilst tea-sipping and given the living room a once over after a few friends over last night.

    Pinkfairy - So plans are afoot for a South Wales meet? Let me know when and where... I'm on 12hr shifts for the next fortnight but that makes me more flexible as there are lots of random days off and several night shifts. Otherwise, weekends are always good. Cardiff city centre is hell-ish on Saturdays but the Bay is always fun and much easier to park...

    :coffee: sounds superb serena. My flat is unreasonably cold but I'm just waiting till 1pm when the sun comes round! Must tootle off to tackle the bedroom now :D

    It was going so well to start! Been asked to do something I really don't want to do, then Mr G said he'd be working a few hours late which is a pain. However I did have a rather sexy policeman in my house earlier ;) He'd come to get his lunch :rotfl:

    I hate being caught off guard :(
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    It's great! Although I don't usually get to see him in the whole garb which is a shame, well unless he's forgotten to take his lunch with him!

  • Serena - :coffee: and cake - delicious, thank you!

    Cardiff - Cardiff Bay's lovely. There's usually free parking near the end of Schooner Way, 10 minutes walk from the Bay and The Norwegian Church has a lovely coffee shop too!
