    Go me, all boys bedrooms dusted and DS3's window and frame deep cleaned. Knew I'd feel better once it was done.

    I see forgiveness is a way off yet ;):p
    I always used a halti on my afghan and it worked really well.

    I never knew you used to have a dog Toots. Funny what you learn on here each day.

    Plan to walk the other way home from school today to give some seeds to a freecycler and give some egg boxes to a neighbour with chickens and buy a box of eggs.

    Hoping to get the hose out and give the back garden a bit of a water when I return.

    *crawls in from school 'run' and collapses on the bed in a flop...*

    Need to do one more coat of emulsion and the roller can be cleaned and I'll strip the few bits of paper later ready for repapering tomorrow... We appear to be working to schedule so far lol.. I am hoping to have it all done by Thursday so we can have Friday doing nothing and make a proper start on our room next week!

    HHC 4:30-5pm???

    Give me time to recover from the school hobble

    Well I didn't have a snooze after all, I sat and watched several Supernaturals that I had on the V+ box, why on earth am I watching horrors in the afternoon..lol Then I had a late lunch and then cleaned out the fridge. Hmmm wish I hadn't done that as I upended a whole open carton of Bicarb all over the kitchen floor. To say the air was blue is an understatement, I also sat in the corner and blubbed. But you know what I actually feel tons better :D The dog fleeces are hanging on the line and I have defurred the washing machine from the dog and cat fur. The cream wash is all dry and folded up in the linen basket ready to be ironed tomorrow.

    I have a lovely blueberry scone yankee candle burning in the living room which is smelling gorgeous, so that has lifted my spririts :D
