    Done a good two-hours worth of stuff - not much of the list, but things that needed doing and I need to go back to some of it. I had a little break to inspect a plant order that arrived. More outside jobs! :j Time to do the shopping list and head out now.

    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....;) xx

    Welcome, lots of us are not strangers (bad grammar!) to the naughty black dog of depression. Hugs for that.

    Have scrubbed bathroom sink and cleared out loads of junk from there. Wm on and decluttered £100 off our home insurance quote. Yay!:money:

    eta thanks again, Valli. Think we need to seriously consider a new school for DD1, and also DD2 eventually.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
