I have just come back downstairs! I got carried away again.
I have finished spare room and bathroom :j:j:jCan I have another star please?
I have 'bottomed' the bathroom. I think I cleaned parts that hadn't seen a cloth in years! It was DDs en suite and so I tended to leave it to her to clean. I got ridof the mould too by using a strong bleach solution. Not good for my septic tank though.
Right DS2 and I are going outside to have a bonfire and rid DDs room of years of rubbish. She did sort it out herself. I wouldn't burn her stuff without permission.business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Evening ladies (and gents?),
I'm off to the gym in a minute to go to body combat again, but wanted to check in. Flying wise I've managed to make the batter for tonight's toad in the hole and clean up the kitchen surface afterwards, and have washed and hung out the sheets from last week, folded them and brought them in.
Rushed into town this morning after getting Martin's email about the M&S penny bazaar sale, and they'd run out of everything by the time I got in at 10.30. Apparently they will have more stuff tomorrow at 8.30 when they open, so fingers crossed I'll be able to go then and not get called off to work (wasn't called this morning but was working the afternoon, and I'm booked for the afternoon tomorrow). Decided to have lunch in town whilst I was there and sat in the sun by the cathedral green eating my healthy tuna salad box and brown roll, followed by a not so healthy lemon belgian bun - yummy! Definitely need to burn that off tonight! lol
Have modified my list slightly as don't have spare room or kids room to do:

Evening everyone.
The team building day went well and I really enjoyed it. Glad we did it so we got to know the ward staff and their views on the project. I also enjoyed the ice breakers they did.
Been to SW and just finished my tea.
Going to make a cuppa then do a HHI.
Hugs for everyone.0
