Rightio I've managed quite a bit snce earlier, at a pottery pace as I am slightly hung over and feel a bit fragile.:D
Anyways
WM X 2 also have to rewash some stinky damp washed washing that no-one bothered to hang out :mad:
Hung out washing
cleaned chickens drinker and refilled
put larger washing up items away
made breakfast and we all sat to eat it and had a chat, did proper coffee, bacon and mushrooms, veggy sausages for DD1 and eggs en cocotte for me because I love 'em.
Swept kitchen floor
filled three binbags
scraped all excess food off plates and recycled
finally...took the cutlery holder out of the drawer and washed it, its been bugging me for ages
hubby decluttered about 1000 disgusting horrible, nasty, slugs from under a board in the chicken run, yuck, I hate them, they are currently swimming in salt the vile creatures.
wiped drawer fronts, and inner door areas and across the top
wiped worktop near kettle area
empted kitchen and bathroom bin
opened some windows to let the fresh air in
That's it for now, need another coffee and then think about what else needs sorting.
Toots...I need to take my meds with food, I just get a bit absent minded sometimes.:o I'll endeavour to be more organised....;) xxDFW Nerd 267. DEBT FREE 11.06.08
