  • Okay, so I've lost the plot completely this week, just been too full on and no time to get through the chores. I have lost track of what I have done and I think the best thing for me, is to start the whole week again tomorrow. :eek: I will re-trace my tracks a bit and check off ALL the items.

    So here goes, putting up the whole week's list (along with anything else I can think of and taken off a few I know I don't need to re-visit) and will edit and delete as I go.

    I'll be putting in a Gold medal performance for the next two days; the family arrives first thing on Tuesday and this is the situation I was so trying to avoid. Nothing is that bad, but certainly a few things done earlier in the week, particularly Kitchen and lounge will need a quick swish to make sure no stones have gone unturned. :A

    so! kids are gone, mil is watching 'jeremy kyle' and oh is already up and making tea for us all!

    and i've decided i can't live with the smell from the painting anymore (we've started on 2 doors and the smell is just overwhelming!!!)
    SO i made room in the garage and carried both doors there!!!!!

    it's not as straightforward as we thought so will take us much longer than expected - can't put the kids through this for too long!!

    but it's outside now and we can take our time .. slowly turn after turn ...
    and hopefully sometime this year we'll have nice lovely shiny white doors :D
