    I have taken two pairs of DS's trouser (trachsuit bottom types) off the line and am *breathes deeply* about to hang them up in his wardrobe UNIRONED :eek:

    ooh that went well apart from eerie transformation into non-ironer :eek:

    :rotfl: :rotfl: welcome to the real world :p But almost as shocking I hung out some washing rather than bunging it in the TD :eek: Also spent most of the time shovelling stuff out of our room :o I WILL be able to walk all the way round the bed!

    well done Jo on the Jobseekers Allowance, that's an important one to apply for asap so well done for doing that. Write yourself a list (if you haven't already) of things you need to apply for/companies you need to phone/job sites you want to sign up with and then hopefully it won't be so overwhelming, as you will see yourself making progress.

    HHC results

    Found some more floor in BR. Put some pressies in the pressie stash cupboard. Found a big bag of baby clothes for work friend (if she wants them, otherwise freecycle ;) ) Took washing off the line and folded, NO IRONING required ;) Put WM on as found enough clothes to make a load up.

    Off out to a BBQ fund raiser soon so will have to get kids and myself organised. Will catch up with you all later.

    I have cleaned kitchen window and removed flower shaped fly graveyard (I have flies because I like to keep my back door open - but not many) I shall get a new one when I go shopping - much better than spray.
    top cupboards and sill wiped, worktops and base cupboards to do then I will do the floors.

    Oh I have washed the kitchen and bathroom bins so they are drying in the sun and I have put recycling in car (mainly to make kitchen look tidier LOL)

    Jo did you check the Direct Gov website I posted a link to? Get on to housing benefit Monday too, especially as you have not had wages...
