    Was slightly delayed in posting my list as the TV unit sold on Ebay and they just came to collect it - so more room in my house now!! :D It only sold for £5.50 but it was more than I would have got from freegle!

    Ive done most of my dishes, just a few pots but I will do those in the morning before I go to work. Have tidied most of the kitchen and living room before bed. The dining room has a pile of stuff on the table which currently doesnt have a home, so i will need to deal with that tomorrow. Lunches are already made and in the freezer, but I just cant face any more ironing tonight. I think I will have a break from it today and do some tomorrow.

    Im very tired and am going to put my clean bedding on (I am refusing to sleep in rank conditions whilst I focus on one room at a time) and have an early night.

    See you all tomorrow x

    neightbours bin out; my bin out; pots washed (including SC crock) DD 'helpfully' got her soup out and then turned it off :eek:. Someone else (and no-one is accepting liability) opened the downstairs LR window on the front - according to DD 'it has been open all day'. I left first and it was shut then! We NEVER open it usually, not least because there's a blind in the way. Deep suspicions are forming in my mind but I can't smell fags in the house;)
    Have washed cat litter tray (and then cracked it knocking a slug out of it - it was outside drying.

    Have also ta daaah!
    cleaned out my make up bag, chucked stuff clearly out of date/probably out of date and popped the new streamlined beauty kit into the new bag I bought in the Body Shop sale:D:D

    and not had any vino!

    Somehow things never go to plan! Just off for a bath. I'm going to use lots of oil & body oil and then wash my sheets tomorrow. I don't have any meetings till the afternoon, and my laptop works OK from home, so I'll try to get up at the normal time but get a bit of flying done before heading into the office. I've got late meetings, so I'm not worried about getting in particularly early (and parking isn't an issue either!).

    I have managed to sort quite a bit of the stuff that was on my desk, but there's still a lot of work to do.

    Back later....

    Thanks,Valli and pigpen. Will give WD40 a go as soon as I locate it. Had a serious conversation with DS2 about leaving other people's stuff alone. Hope it helps - I never had to lock anything away before.

    :wave: morning everyone

    just thought I'd say, i'd like to join in, if you'll have me.

    Hi Chris - good to see you over here; welcome!

    zoe - hugs for you and Lewis

    Mrs B - I'd have been gagging too!

    AnW - lovely idea and yes, it makes perfect sense; hugs

    SS - well done on asking for more hours

    mudbath - huge hugs and prayers for DS

    Triker - glad you had a great time; I love Premier Inn.

    zara - great news!


    Toots and Mrs B - thanks :A I'm not great but I'll be ok

    I have made an appointment to see the doctor on Friday after work as I've had to accept that I need the ADs again :o I've been trying to last without them but these last 2 weeks have not been good and I don't want things getting worse.

    My arm is also painful at the moment (more precisely, my elbow and wrist) and there's also a really tender sore bit when I touch it which I think is where the end of one of the plates is (it's directly under a scar anyway!) so that's not helping. I really don't want them to have to take the plates out :eek:

    Flying wise I've done nothing as I left work, went to see dad, came home, mum phoned, ate dinner, did my online banking and then came on here :o

  • I can't seem to get much done. Plus I try & do the entire list.

    So I am cutting back on what I shall attempt to do tomorrow

    Level One
    Declutter floors

    Scrub all things grotty.. ath, loo, basins mouse, keyboard etc
    Level Two
    Vacuum/mop floors
    ironing

    So that's my list.

    Babies take up a ridiculous amount of time! You'd think I'd have remembered from the other 2, but I think we "forget" to lull us into having more ;)
