    Erm why are their 2 Toots, Tootifrooti and Tootifruiti?:confused:
    Tootifruiti is a multiple personality - Toots and Soappie can do the stars between them which means that if anyone is away or can't do stars for a while then people can step in and help.

    Hugs Carlsberggal, make her clean it all up herself. My mum wouldn’t let me get away with leaving stuff and paint everywhere. In fact, shall I send my mum round to stand over her until it’s done? That way when you get home from work it will be sorted! lol

    This morning I have stripped the bed, hoovered the flat (need to do the kitchen as the hoover died halfway through again), had a jug shower, and went to the village and back, and have had lunch. Very pleased as a book i'd ordered came while i was away and the library had kept it as another book came for me this week! Yay for good service! I really didn't think it would still be there as the notice said I needed to pick it up within 7 days, but I thought I'd check.

    Morning all

    It felt a bit fresher when I got up this morning but alas it didn't last and it's getting very hot again. They've promised rain later, I hope they're not lying to me (those weathermen, lying wotsits).

    Anyway, before it got too hot I cut the grass back and front, edged it and swept up. No washing today.

    Polished in the living room and then vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Paid a bill online.

    Make-up, I threw my few bits away a couple of years ago because they were so old and this week I finally got some more (with the Asda shopping!). We are going to a wedding evening do on Saturday so I thought I'd make an effort. I bet I forget I've got it on and wipe it all down my face....

    OK, I think I need a smaller list. So here it is

    Wash up, clean worksurfaces (level one kitchen will then be done!)

    Finish hoovering if hoover works (but leave hoover out)

    Clear everything off the bed and remake the bed (level one bedroom will then be done)

    Tidy the sofa and hoover it and the armchair

    Oh and hang out the washing
