    only managed 6 things....so far, Natty and Rosepink, how did you do?
    I've flung 49 things and recycled another 47 pieces of paper/cardboard/plastic bottles - the difference is amazing! Got to take them all out to the bins but that involves putting clothes on :eek:

    Eveningg all,

    Ive hoovered the living room floor, put the washing machind on that I forgot about this morning.

    Swished the kitchen....put away the dry dishes, filled the sink for more dishes.

    Have emptied my lovely stock out of the slow cooker, and am making it into a risotto as we speak. The rest of the meat I have kept to do a curry and probably spanish chicken or something similar...

    The kids are having fish fingers, potato waffles and beans!! (their choice...) Im not the biggest fan of fish fingers, but these are ones with a hint of lemon and they smell really good actually!

    Anyway, off to find my list xx

    kdean, I have the fan on, right by the ironing board

    Good idea, my fan died in the garage during the winter and I am really missing it now, will have to get a new one.

    Well HHC completed and the LR looks much better:j. Good job too as DH has text to say he is bringing a mate home with him before they go footie. Suppose I should get on with the kids dinners and get washed up before they arrive. Think I'll have a cuppa first though.;)

    Back from my HHC, although it was a wee bit longer as I had to clear out two under sink cupboards. And give them a thorough disenfect, and vinegar wash. Our resident harvest mousey has been wandering in the bottom cupboards. Still the other mouse controller is now plugged in under the sink so with any luck that should stop him, especially as the hole in the wall is under the sink.. Well fingers crossed.

    So in my HHC I managed to do the following:

    Clean out two sink cupboards
    Fold up the clean towels and take them upstairs
    Put a tea towel boil wash in
    Bring in the clean washing from outside.
    Wash the pet bowls
    Clean the top of the kitchen worktops, and throw used teabags into compost heap.

    Am now sitting here cooling down with a cup of tea, and glass of ice cold water and watching Tales from the Green Valley on Yesterday.

    Edited to add I also washed the dustpan and brush, and that is now drying out on the patio, being guarded by Jet..

    Sorry to hear about your DS, how old is he? I've taken some cetirize, just having a cuppa then I'll start on the piriton.

    He's twelve:D....my two oldest are like their Dad, rarely bitten and if they are nothing to write home about, but ds3 and myself are obviously rather yummy:rotfl:


    Okay that's forty bits of ironing done, and still Andy Murray hasn't got on court......Time to change over into kitchen cleaning and cooking mode :A

    Level 1 done but going to try and improve on last week and do Level 2...now here comes the stupid question...:o... what do you use to wipe down the walls and paintwork? I'm thinking soapy water but if anyone has any tips please share!

    had a good sort out of DD's wardrobe so we can see what she needs so will brace myself for a shopping trip next week. I'm a disgrace to womenkind - I'm useless at cleaning and hate going shopping!

    Well home from work and have tidied up the oven cleaning mess I left last night - my rubbish bin is full to the brim and doesn't go out til Thursday!

    Racks for oven mostly cleaned, one still got stubborn stains but will do that next time round. Have left the door open all day whilst at work, will it be ok to turn on (gas oven), I'm scared I'll blow myself up, ha! Need oven, I am starving!

    ETA: Just got microwave to do and floor and that's the kitchen gleaming - shame about the rest of the house!
