    Rose - I hoover the sofa and wash the throws.

    I've degrotted OH office but still need to do some decluttering/filing, I'm noticing a pattern of always leaving these jobs until after I've cleaned the room and then running out of steam.

    Just had lunch and done DS2 some pasta - hoping he is on the road to recovery.

    Off to pilates in a minute but must set the WM before I go - sunny but cold here.

    Greenbee and gardeners/greenies - Spend £20 and get free delivery at natural collection and 10% off certain items - hotdeals had a blanket 10% off last week which might still work.

    Oh thanks Dusty! The sofa is freshly hoovered so I will pop the throws into the machine now along with the bathmat ready for bathroom day.

    The plumber has just left! Can't wait to get in a nice warm bath tonight!

    Interview went well (I hope - fingers crossed!) - many thanks mOZzy. It was stage 3 in a lengthy process-CRB checks, etc, being done now. So many hoops, so little time!

    Have now got a ham on for yet another risotto - decluttered kitchen cabinets last week, and realised I have about a years supply of Arborio rice. Why? I seem to collect rice at the same rate I lose teaspoons.:rotfl:

    Am now decluttering book (for book group)- 288 pages in 2 hours? Will set to remaining fly-to-dos and post update when I get back from the Docs this afternoon.....

    Hope your interview went well SS - let us know!

    Slight change of plan, will go shopping with kids and to see DH after school so that they can see Daddy as well.

    Put what needs hanging onto hangers and am in the process of bringing it all upstairs now.

    Lunch was the last couple of pancakes with syrup on!

    I've done the full bathroom/toilet clean now and the toilet brush has been cleaned and bleached and it's out in the sun to dry now.

    I know I'm getting ahead of myself but DS is coming to visit for a few days and I don't want to spend my time cleaning when he's here.

    Off to watch Neighbours now, then I'll check my washing.

    I don't know how you want to "star" me Toots :)

    Phew... Have done one half of room ,younger son`s half. Full bin liners everywhere.. But feel GOOD :D Reward.. a mo on the comp and a cuppa. Know how to live me!!!:o Poor dog still crossing legs and paws. Will force kids to walk her when they get home, instead of hyjacking the computer. Well I think they should, I am mucking their room out. Probs be lots of screaming over mysteriously missing toys that they`ve just remembered they had.... Will have to hide bin bags. They have been know to rifle through and buy things back at jumble sale :mad:
    The Grass may look greener :o but it`s always going to take just as much mowing ;)
