    Well here I am again in the for the week, today shouldn't take too long at all as I redid the lounge again on Sat.

    Thanks to Piggers, Soappie and Toots for all their hardwork.

    I did all 5 days lists last week but one star got missed off, never mond it's hard to keep up with the fast moving thread and all the hard work put inby all of you keeps me on the straight and narrow :D

    WMx 2 on today hoping the weather holds a bit longer, just popping out to the shops then better get back to start some ironing :eek:

    BTW at the weekend I noticed some mould growing on the side of my leather recliner which is next to the front door. The week before I noticed some on my leather magazine holder which is at the other end of the room. I wiped it off with baby wipes.

    I'm surprised by this as it doesn't feel damp in the living room. I haven't had the heating on since March

    Is there anything else that would work better on leather furniture to remove and keep off than baby wipes? :confused:

    DH has taken DS to the pictures and I've just dropped DD off at her friend's so I'm home alone at the moment. I'm hoping it won't take long to do today's list as it doesn't look too bad from last week!

    :hello:Good Morning!

    We had a lovely day yesterday, all my fav people, it didn't rain (but only just) we had plenty of food and drink and celebrated our birthdays brilliantly.

    The house stayed fairly tidy and the garden was almost presentable so thank you flyladies (especially pigpen, soapie and toots)for all the encouragement and support! :T Now I must keep this up! It was so nice to relax and enjoy time with my special people rather than worry about what the house looks like!

    Now I must find space in the freezers for the leftovers!

    Hope you all enjoy the bank holiday!

    I have 4 and a half weeks until my parents descend on us! Last week was the first time the house had been cleaned in a very long while. I hope these lists will help me to get there. We have done a lot of decorating since they were last here so I want the house to give them a really good impression. I will keep you going if you can do the same for me!


    will do ....its scary the prospect of it:eek::eek:

    my house is room for room a cluttered up battered tip to put it mildly

    love seeing them but wish they wouldnt visit!

    every single room in seriously BAD BAD BAD

    no one else helps and its a waste of time trying to delelgate

    so sole action plan in place although i do feel its a bit of a tall order


    if i get chance will type up the list on here on a new thread to keep myself going but havent got time

    off to put shopping away as seriously trying the sept grocery challenge to make bit of cash for paint and trimmings!!

    good luck AJ
