    Chimney sweep's been :j I had to roll back the carpet, so I took the opportunity to sweep and mop the floor underneath, and hoover the back of the carpet ;) I've also had a go at removing what looks like an ancient red wine stain.

    I'm going to do another HHC 11:40 - 12:10, then DD and her friends are coming back for lunch between GCSE exams :j

    MY IRONING PILE HAS GONE, WOOHOO

    only got whats in the machine now, will hope fully do those as soon as they are dry.
    After work, I'm going straight upstairs to do the list before picking up DD and taking her swimming

    Rosepink, my mum just couldn't work it out in english, only in irish

    Carol, I don't think anyone in my family can remember much of their irish, I have never heard them use it in conversation, a shame really.......

    Off to work now, catch you all some time later

          didn't achieve anything from the lists BUT got papers through from solicitor so spent an hour on that (getting all the suppliers bills out, writing fixtures&fittings list, property list) - then played with the kids a bit and cleaned behind one of the units in the playroom :eek: (lots of missing toys there)


          Jo let me settle in first and find a nice house then give me a shout and come and see us :D

          In that not quite an HHC, I:
          Put away dry washing up
          Put away dry washing
          Hung out wet washing
          Started WM
          Put all washing on kitchen floor in the laundry basket and tidied the kitchen floor
          Put all paper waiting by front door to be recycled in a bag so it looks tidier
          Tidied DH's armchair so I could sit on it to:
          Tidy LR floor a bit, especially the mess that was hidden under armchair (still quite a bit to go but better than it was)
          Tidied up cardboard waiting for recycling

          So am very pleased, altho still can't really cross anything off the lists! Am not aiming for stars this week tho, it's impossible. Am just going to try to keep on top of things and start again next week.
