    Just been out to the bank, the PO and got some shopping in. I'm drenched! The weather is really awful - raining hard and windy.

    Just having a cuppa then I've got to go out again for a bit to see someone. Hey ho..

    HHC done (just realised i did 45 minutes...got the end time wrong wondered why i was flagging a bit)

    Battery back in smoke alarm:o
    Another 2 sections of landing wall scrubbed-I have a dog and as eeeewwww as it may sound I'm sure little droplets of wee/slobber/general muck come off him, little drop marks up all my walls for the first 8 inches or so......any tips?
    Wiped mbedroom, bathroom, airing cupboard doors down sides facing landing...they were particularly mucky......cant remember the last time.
    Unloaded washing machine and unloaded clothes horse (other way round of course)
    Put last of yesterdays shopping away
    put dry dishes away and small bowl of washing up.

    Going to have some lunch/shower/chill and then back to it this afternoon.

    Where is your TD?
    Mine is in conservatory and generates loads of heat - why not put bedding in TD and stay in that room to warm yourself up a bit?

    I've even impressed myself this week...the lounge curtains were washed, ironed and rehung all in one day yesterday. This really is an achievement as the lounge curtains have NEVER been washed before....they've been up for about 7 years!:eek: Oh well, at least they're clean now.

    Just sitting down for bit now watching last night's Holby City.

    Big Well Done for your DS for helping out Quillion! Glad to hear you're resting. x
