    Freecycle lady came in the middle of it all and took all of my items for a cystic fybrosis sale, so hope they raise a bit for the cause.

    Just the floors left to do now. :j How did everyone else do?
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Morning all

    One load of washing has been out for a couple of hours but it's just started to rain a little so I've brought it back in and draped it round.

    All the kitchen/diner is done except for the cutlery drawer, I did that with last week's list and it doesn't need doing again. I also damp wiped the computer desk and in the living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Going to catch up now.
  • In my HHC, I

    did a load of ironing
    unloaded wm
    checked on progress in greenhouse (not really work!)

    DD1, alias Big A, dusted two rooms and tidied the dining room a bit.

    sexymouse you are firing on all 4 today!
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Didn't do too badly in that half hour. I:
    • Put BM on
    • finished the washing up from last night :rolleyes: I really need to get back into the swing of doing it in the evenings again
    • Deep cleaned the microwave and kettle
    • Washed down the work surface the microwave and kettle are one
    • Washed down 8 cupboard doors, one drawer front, the dishwasher, the oven and the cooker hood.
    Also wandered out into the garden to inspect the bird seed I put down on the ground. Without my glasses, it looked like BB had done a poop on it. But, when I got there, I found SEVENTEEN (yes, I counted them) snails having breakfast! I've left them to it. But, I should really pick them up and pop them over the fence into the park.

    Just having a cuppa then I'll get back to the flying.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
