    Just realised I frgot to say I'd started!

    ETA: I've done 10 mins and have stopped as I feel sick and have a headache. I've tidied the LR floor, recycled 3 bits of paper and thrown 8 tissues and 3 bits of rubbish from the floor. The floor looks much better, it needs hoovering but am going to leave that for now. Have tidied the armchairs a bit and have changed the throw on the sofa as it looks mucky.
    Have now discovered a bill that DH opened and didn't give me and it's due today so better pay that. THen am going for a lie down. See you all later xx

    Picked up ds from school and he has just demolished his lunch and the coconut cake they have made today.

    Have collected and sorted all the washing. One load on line another about to go on line and another load to go in the washer then i am all washed up. Till tomorrow!!

    S&S the kitchen and bathroom. Got to declutter the conservatory before monday!!.

    I bought cookie dough dulux paint i have a cream leather 2 seater which reclines. Have a table with 4 cream leather chairs, a tv on a stand and a unit that houses all my Nail Technician stuf and the PC which i keep for the sole use of ds. I would like to get rid of the unit and the tv but don't think this is feasable as nowhere to store the nail tech stuff. Oh and i got a little free standing fire in there as well.

    I will play whilst dh is in Norfolk this weekend and see if i can't swap it round and make it look better.

    Off to peg (matching wooden ones) the washing out. The new softner smells lush !!

    hope everyone is well, brief reading of thread. Today was a breeze, the kids (dd4 & ds3) clean their rooms each night before tea (house rule) so only had to wash bedding, windows & wood, off to make some bread buns, have a good weekend all.

    Quillion do you have the recipe for the coconut cake? It would go down a treat in this house, my DD told me yesterday that I was the best mam in the world because I know how to make buns & biscuits, I think she was buttering me up as the next thing out of her mouth was can I have some.
