    Thats one very long list Tag. See you have clean windows on it: I'm afraid my windows can wait until the Christmas holidays

    It won't all get done. And I too suspect the windows will be neglected till Xmas:rotfl:

    None of the bedding is being done either this weekend. I've already got a million loads of washing that is more important. Bedding will have to wait till next week.
  • Hello all. You've been a busy lot - put me to shame!:o

    I have, however, finished my ironing!:j Just sent DH for a newspaper. DS has just surfaced and put the coffee pot on.

    Toochoosey - DD goes to Cardiff occasionally, but because we lived over the bridge for most of her life, her friends (school and work) are Bristol area. She works in Clifton (Berkeley Square) so commutes every day.

    Toottifrootti - Nailsea - we lived in Cricket Field Green (near the fire station) for 12 years! Moved over here January 2005. I have to say it was the best move we could have made. I love the Bristol area, but we're closer to family (both sides) and got more house for our money. It's a lovely area too, very close to the Brecon Beacons.

    I'm off to get dressed, quick cuppa then get the boys busy lifting carpet!

    Later. :wave:

    Well HHC turned into 3/4.
    I have:-
    1. Cleaned window frames DS's ex-room :eek: they really are white under there
    2. Hoovered 1/2 the carpet - the other 1/2 is still full of stuff
    3. S & S the bathroom
    4. OH has dismantled the wonky chest of drawers and is now off to the tip
    5. Filled a bin bag with all the got I found down the back of furniture and bed - I never ventured into DS's room if I could help it
    6. Found a wash load of DS's clothes he didn't take with him - in WM now
    7. Made a coffee and sat down:D
    Will think about lunch now and then go off to Lidl.

    Thats a brilliant idea Jayjay ....a coffee would be really appreciated here too....off now to put kettle on.

    By the way have done everything I needed to do upstairs in main bedroom and ensuite in 15 mins ....not bad !
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.
