Mudbath

Monday and Tuesday list completed.

The oil filled radiator has definitely made the kitchen warmer which is helping in the living room. I've put the monitor on it to see how expensive it is to run. I'm thinking of getting one for the clinic instead of the electric fan heater after Greenbee saying how much cheaper they are to run. Thank you!

DS decluttered to friends house for a sleepover. DD has friend round here for a sleepover. I intend to declutter them upstairs ASAP.

Time to do nothing until tomorrow. Glass of wine anyone? xx

Mine's a white - but I need to wrap so only a small one!

Yes please Mudbath, glass of anything actually will do. Have just done one Next sale order and got 2 rugs for my new lounge, hopefully one will look ok and I can send the other one back. got some clothes for ds too as he has shot up before our eyes in the last 2 weeks so that is my half hour doing nothing.

My bathroom is spotless:D Half way through doing the floor, decided a mop would not suffice so down on hands and knees with scourer:p Hand is aching so having a cuppa and biscuit before doing the second half.

Here are some words to help.....'and', 'the', 'a' and my all time favourite for the conclusion 'to recapitulate'

I'm having a nice glass of cava. DH is checking the present that arrived earlier...he says it's even nicer than it looked on the website xx

How big IS your bathroom?

I can do mine on my hands and knees in about 5 minutes, if that...

Do you want some big words SSL?

- I once used PROSCRIBED and the person marking (and this was a Uni essay) - corrected it to prescribed - er NO it changed the tone of the entire paragraph - argh
