    Just me then...cul8r

    right - I've done that, washed out the bathroom and kitchen bins, the cat litter tray and the compost caddy so they're all drying in the sun.

    Pots washed (I'm NOT listing the jobs in the order I did them BTW) and the bathroom mug and brush head holder washed. Kitchen and bathroom bins emptied...

    bathroom next methinks!

    Afternoon all. Not caught up yet so I hope everyone's OK. I'm hoping LW might be posting too.

    Today's list done. Washing done, dried and put away. Window cleaner is doing the windows right now, I've got the curtains pulled to keep the dog cool so she hasn't realised he's there. Being deaf has its advantages...

    It's a lovely day here though.

    Back soon.

    Glad you've posted LW :)

    Oh, and I cut the grass too, I was a bit scared that nasty insect would bite me again but I got away with it ;)

    I seem to have been on the move the whole time but don't have much to show for it :(

    Empty and tidy a grotty cupboard changed into empty all the rubbish and gibble out of the car and bin or put it in the right place. Sorted out my car file seeing as tax, insurance, service and MOT are all done for another year so sifted through that and have shredded what was needed.

    Also did ANOTHER binbag dance.
