Well DD2 managed to drop all her spaghetti bolognaise on the hall carpet so will need to clean that tonight once she is in bed
. I was hoping I could work on the oven a bit more tonight but I guess it won't happen now. Will have to wait until tomorrow now.
Well heard from Ex again after over a week of peace and quiet. Same old, nothing ever changes. As long as he doesn't come here I don't mind, I can handle nasty text messages. Tells me his life is s**t:( but his FB tells a different story. Says on there how happy he is with his new gf blah blah blah. Hope she wakes up and smells the coffee soon, I feel sorry for her.
Anyway, here is my list and IT'S ALL DONE!!!!
Monday ~ Living/Family/Reception room
Level One
[STRIKE]Declutter and vacuum floor!
Wipe sticky grubby marks from sofas[/STRIKE]
Level Two
[STRIKE]Wipe sticky grubby marks from walls and paintwork[/STRIKE]- none to wipe as I only did Thursday!
[STRIKE]Vacuum under furniture you can safely move.. [/STRIKE] - I have checked behind sofas and still looking nice and clean

Level Three

Just as well as DH has just phoned and a work colleague is coming here at 8.30am:eek:. I have warned all the kids under pain of death not to mess it up again. Will give the kitchen a going over once dinner is finished. Please let it be kitchen tomorrow Pigpen??? Then I can slope off to the shops as I have so many birthday presents to buy, DN, DB, DD and DH + a few for kiddies birthday parties as my pressie drawer is depleted. This is a challenge in itself as I have mislaid my debit card. Better ring DH and ask him to visit the cashpoint on the way home.0 - [STRIKE] Vacuum sofas and wipe off sticky marks!

Today hasn't been too good in the living room. Hubby decided to rearrange the furniture at the weekend which resulted in everything being put in the other end of the room so I had to sort all that out lol I've also done a lot in the kitchen as it needed doing. Hopefully will get living room done tomorrow.August GC 10th - 10th : £200 / £70.61

DH has washed up today and gone round doing a binbag challenge, although he didn't know it was called that.
I have a grand plan to do 2xHHC's as a bare minimum tomorrow, Thurs and Fri, was going to do that today too but all plans for today were scrubbed as I overdid it y'day. Love to all xx"Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."
