    Froddy just do what I did and leave easy on clothes on the landing then hop downstairs getting dressed :rotfl: I actually wore my lightweight joggers I use for PJ bottoms so that was the easy bit :D

    holly as ex staff of a W&W trust centre, he's most certainly not the first and won't be the last. We frequently had little ones leave dressed in coats, drying stuff on radiators in cafe etc. We had one adventurous darling fall head first over the fence into the flamingo pond ***urgh*** straight into the greenest poo!

    Ok plan for tomorrow

    Me - bathroom & our room
    DP garage, then shed then under the stairs.....with boys help

    That's the start/plan
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    hee hee hee hee hee
    today (LOOKS AT TIME AND CORRECTS) On Monday I deviously (but thoroughly as am conscientious Flylady, clearly) cleaned my living room - but I kept schtum as I am visiting my sister today (Tuesday in Northampton) so I was kind of hoping it would be on todays list. It needed cleaning/airing as I was doing my dying swan act on the sofa all sunday...

    SO I CLAIM TUESDAY'S STAR!

    HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE

    I figured I would do the living room then I would be one day ahead;)

    This did include sponging chocolate mousse off the sofa and thoroughly vacuuming all sofa crevices and under the cushions :eek: and I moved the sofas and vacuumed under them :glow:
    I don't own a 3 piece suite and I never have...it's been sofa + 1 chair; 2 sofas (2 seater) then here in Valli towers a 2 seater sofa and a 3 seater sofa although since DS's enthusiastic 'plop' onto the sofa in the summer the two seater can really only be used for one person (I am saving up for 2 new ones - they are 12 years old AND are STONE coloured. Many, many people commented about the 'poor' choice of colour with littleys about BUT if you have furniture they don'tlearn to be careful of IMHO they will never learn to be careful of furniture you want them to be careful of (I do hope that makes sense). I am tempted by a corner sofa thingy but think I couldn't easily move it to vacuum under it...
    I did *cof* set the 'one' sofa on fire when I moved it to vacuum behind and it got scorched by the gas fire. *blushes as should have known better*

    All receipts added to spreadsheet. Mysterious bank debit (only a tenner but you never know) googled and appears to be petrol bought from petrol station never previously used by self before. Receipt for that was nowhere to be seenshrug.gif but can clearly rermember going there as was on way to work Thursday afternoon...also I remember spending exactly that amount, now I have checked!

    eta I didn't eat the chocoalte mousse - can't stand the stuff...
