    Ok all you'll be pleased to hear that i BOUGHT BATTERYS and PUT THEM IN to the smoke alarm.

    Secondly brace yourselves!!!!! my husband put his clothes away !!! AND hoovered the bedroom rug and bottom landing, AND without prompt or hint, he cleaned the sink and drainer in the kitchen... i almost died of shock when i got home :eek:

    Then bless him he tried to fix the toilet which has been leaking for a few days, he actually made it worse haha... but hey its the thought that counts right??? he's called a plumber so at least it's getting sorted.

    Goodness i feel kinda guilty for saying he was useless this morning i guess he listened to my "chat" last night more than i thought he did, all i've got to do now is cope with the fact that he's "helped" and is so proud of himself, oh and the fact that he thinks he's done his bit around the house for the next 6 months. :o

    Please can I join?

    I will not be able to post much, but as long as I can keep up, I'll hopefully be ok.

    I used to have a list for everyday. But looking at yours over the last few weeks, I prefer it. Not everyday the same!

    Make sure all the smoke alarms are working and if you have high sleepers you should have alarms in those rooms too.. make appointments with the fire safety people if you don't and they fit really good ones free of charge!!


    Thanks

    Sorry, just realised what you mean by high sleepers - as Pigpens put it like this, are they loft rooms?

    i survived the coat cupboard but only because dh and ds came to my aid - there were SPIDERS in there:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: - i can't bear even the little tiny ones and these needed their own post code!

    but 3 ( yes 3!) binliners full of shoes, boots, flip flops and wellies for clothes recycling bin and coats we want to keep but aren't wearing have been hung up in the appropiate wardrobe or been slung in the wm.

    going to have a cuppa and then make a start on tomorrows list

    msgnomey - i think it was you who gave the link for organised home and it's great - i've made my own little notebook and am writing the lists down in it, which is saving me time as each time i log on here to check what else to do another hour seems to be gone - this is my very long winded way of saying thanks.

    take care everyone - i really appreciate the help and support on here
