    Slow progress here with sad baby - today has been a non stop tantrum except for when I got her off to sleep for an hour. It was really nice here this morning, but it's clouded over and looking very threatening now... I was going to walk into town after lunch, but maybe I will drive in instead... I will get more done that way, as it will take me an hour to get there, do my errand, and walk back up the hill, but then I won't get the exercise!

    Ohhh how wonderful Pigpen, naughty little pixies hehehe

    Well I did 11am until now and I am still not finished :( so back to the kitchen after I have sorted some Freecycle stuff. I have however done more detailed stuff than my lists as I'm mid way through the 1.5ft high pile of paperwork, decided to sort it rather than just move it, I must be ill!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Nearly all the washing is dry and put away, just a pair of jeans finishing off. I was so lucky earlier - I was checking to see what was dry and heard a noise. I assumed I'd dropped a peg but when I looked down there was a huge bird poop on the floor. It had gone down about an inch gap between me and the washing line! The noise must have been the splat as it landed :D Must have been a golden eagle by the size of it.....

    Cottage pie eaten and cleared away. The rest is in the fridge for me tomorrow.

    I've hung out the washing, put the WM on again, hooovered the kitchen and LR floor, and cleaned the sink in the bathroom.

    All I need to do is clean the bath and I'll be done for the day! Very pleased. Won't get a star this week, but the flat is clean to a reasonable level so that's really good.

    Carol, I've emailed you
