Today my challenge is related to the fact that we are going on holiday on Thursday. I want to get all the frozen food into just one of the freezers, so have defrosted the fridge/freezer first. I am hoping everything will fit just into that one (if not we are likely to have something quite interesting for dinner tonight to make it fit!!!!)
Then I can defrost the big freezer & leave it empty while we are away. I also want to do an inventory of what's there so I don't buy stuff I don't need.

well, I did all that; defrosted the big freezer yesterday, threw away yucky stuff, did an inventory, got everything in the small freezer under the fridge....

.... but I went out shopping & forgot to put the pipe in the bottom of the freezer & a bowl to catch the drips.:o
Got home to find DH not very happy, having walked into a cold puddle in the kitchen & then spent his time drying the kitchen floor :rolleyes:

My house is OK but my garden looks the biz:j :dance: see where housework feels like work and drudgery gardening doesn't:happylove

I am with you on that one. I love gardening - even the heavy work, but struggle to do it with two toddlers. We have just put a gate on the garden to keep them in so I can do a bit more. Congratulations on getting yours right - so much more pleasure in an attractive garden than in a clean house!

Housework? Hate it with a passion. The flylady stuff made me see that if I just got on and did a little bit each day then it would stop being an all consuming pain in the ........

Busy day today! but aim to wash down the paintwork in the hall and stairs and also give the doors a washdown as they're white and get grubby really quickly!Other than that I don't think I'll have the time to do anything else other than the usual!;)

No time for FLC for me today so the carpet shampooing will just have to wait, never mind tomorrow another day.

No flying for me today either. I need to get the monthly shop done. Need a few things I can't get in Asda so I'm off shopping to little shops, with a price list from Asda, and will see if I can pick anything else up cheaper than in Asda;)

Did manage to get some paperwork done last night while OH watched the match :rolleyes: Just need to holepunch it and file it now, but that can wait until this evening. Even worked out the budget with for Christmas with OH including extra Food/drink & 2 tanks of petrol :eek: How I'm going to save £55 a month towards it between now and the end of November I haven't quite worked out, but I'll come up with something, I always do. :rotfl: PLUS I'm determined this year NOTHING will go on credit cards and I WILL NOT go into my overdraft. (well, at least after I've done a money shuffle from my e-savings account to cover anything I buy )

Right, off to the shops.

Hi well the arcitect has just gone. Had some ideas I agreed with;) and some I didn't :rolleyes: .

We quickly tidied up the bedrooms last night cos he was coming but they need sorting properly. Have got till 3.30 today so think I'll start on DS bedroom. This morning it was so nice to walk downstairs and see tidy rooms. :T

The only thing I did leave was last nights pots:o . In my wisdom I had decided to do a roast dinner, which left lots of pots to wash and didn't have time to sort them and all the bedrooms out last night. Theya re all in DW now though.

Unfortunately the washing is piling up as the WM has broken:mad: . I need to call someone out to it today.

Hiya hex2 hope you manage to get your garden done.

I've done most of the heavy work in mine, been here 8years now. I have a large garden and it's quite private and when the sun shines there's nowhere I'd rather be, abroad for me can't compete.

Glad you've got your gates up to keep the little ones in, I don't like open gardens (no offence to those who have them I like privacy), give them a little patch of their own to do my granchildren love 'helping' me = more mess for me to clean up when they've gone but I don't mind.

I'm aiming for a cottagey look not neat and regimented:D
I'm quite chuffed at the ,moment because my friend's just made me a lovely bird feeder and I've painted my pots and some walls so I'm happy, might not be everyone's liking but it's mine:T

I hate housework too but I bet like you my house is still not 'dirty':D
