Morning all, managed to do some bits yesterday and did some that were not on the list but needed doing desperately, vacuumed and washed carpet in kids room, cleaned the wardrobe mirror (6ft x 3ft) and son helped clean the window. Got a desk delivered that i won on ebay for 99p (£29.99 in ikea, paid the man to deliver it, £4 so still saved £25) which will go into the dining room for son to do his homework on in peace as we can close the sliding doors and let him get on with it, still in the hall will sort it out later. Couldnt vacuum and turn the mattress on my own its too heavy, will have to do that at the weekend when the OH is back from work.
