    Girls have been playing nicely so I have manged to:

    Empty and refill DW
    Wash up remaining pots
    Wipe table
    Pooper scoop cat litter tray
    Clean ALL the windows and glass in the house
    Put tea in oven

    Will sit with DD2 for a bit to keep her entertained then get on with a bit more in the kitchen while the girls eat.

    well, today went a bit carp, I got half the kitchen looking like a show room and the other half looking like a dump, but I got halfway there :D Not to bothered as I had to clear all the carp off the sides to get to them to clean, down the splashbacks too, which haven't been done since, ummmm, *sheepishly admits* we moved in over a year ago *hangs head in shame*. Cupboard doors done too! and walls, so not a total loss, going to catch up and do the other half tomorrow, all being well. It is a super huge kitchen though, the main reason I love this house.

    Off to get dinner in the oven, get the washing in, then time for kiddies to be washed and bedded. DD2 has fallen asleep on the sofa and I don't have the heart to wake her, but REALLY need to hoover! Catch up when it is quieter here! Hope everyone is happy, happy and has had a good day xx

    Crafty - Stanley Holloway was wonderful. I was brought up listening to the monologues!
    Toots - tired mostly, which seems daft given that I am not doing that much more. House is a tip :(. I will be happier when I have been paid - it is overtime though so month in arrears.

    Sorry for anything I have missed - this was a super fast skim when I should be doing other things.

    So far tonight I have S&S'd the kitchen and cloakroom, chucked our bedding into the WM and put a chicken in the oven to roast. I have to iron and I must get the dyson out which I havent done since Monday :eek: .

    ETA Happy Birthday Cosmomo
