    Evening everyone. Its been a really busy day at the hospital. Plenty of meeting and greeting to do. Im just plucking up the courage to put the worming stuff on the cat. I will be sneaky about it and he will think Im petting him ( I hope).

    Evening all,

    Just home from work (actually that's a wee fib, I went shopping, ha)! So it's dinner for me then get to work on the livingroom. Kitchen also needs done, as OH is coming down tomorrow night and cooking dinner so I can't let him see the state it's in just now!

    House also resembles a Chinese laundry so all clothes will be folded up tonight before the tv is turned on, honest!

    just been reading a thread on Netmums about housework and one lady cleans her whole house, top to bottom twice a day!!!!! including the bathroom and bedrooms, is that excessive or am I totally lazy for a SAHM?

    Oooh I think I just found the thread toochoosey, I cannot believe this woman changes her bedding every 2 days, and why the heck would she clean her windows inside every day..yikes!! And cleaning out her fridge and spraying it with dettol every day.. I would be afraid to live there if it was me..:eek: I would think she must get every cold going, especially as they don't allow any germs to get in..lol

    I'm starting to think I have a serious problem now.. My house isn't cleaned like this.. I just mentioned it to hubby and his first words were OCD.. Although it is quite funny as I am getting a bit OCD about cleaning my kitchen cupboards, sink and worktops.. I can't stand seeing them dirty.

    Evening ladies :waves:

    Can I please ask for positive interview vibes for my BF please? He's got an interview tomorrow at 11.30. Its the first interview he's has in about 18 months of applying for jobs near me. If he gets it, he can finally move in.

    I'm going to catch up with the rest of the thread now. But I have been very busy cleaning the bathroom. A definate star for me I think ;)

    Thanks! *sits on hands quick*

    Been for my Slimming World weigh in - another 4lb this week, which means I have lost 19.5lbs since 11th May, and only have another 16lb to my target. Really quite pleased with myself :j. I just need to find a clothes shop that is in my budget range, has clothes I actually like and that doesn't involve a multi storey car park.

    DW is on, WM is on, the LR is de-cluttered if not actually finished. I really should sort the boys clothes for the morning but am tempted to just slope off for a bath and bed seeing as DH is away again.

    Fingers crossed for your BF SSL
