Living room is getting a seriously deep clean. I've been moving all the furniture a bit at a time to make sure it is done properly. I've found a whole lot of DVDs I haven't watched, and am taking them upstairs so I can watch them on the laptop while doing the ironing at some point. Hopefully this evening.

Now need to wash the floors downstairs, then I can finish the living room, and will only have the spare room and the bedroom laundry as major things to do... Fingers crossed I manage to keep on top of it from now on, and don't let it get chaotic again!

Morning all, AB our fli-curious friend, how are you getting on with the list your Missus gave you?

I have done the list. well I think I have. i binned it and got on with things that needed doing. cat still doesnt like cat flap but hunger is now focusing his mind and ribs are showing. mrs Bounder went to turkey with that lot that went bust:D
i could have plenty of time now to get house tidy and cause a bit more mayhem round London. Got jumped on by a female chugger collecting for red cross. She found out I was a hypnotist and wanted to be hypnotised. silly girl. I did as she asked but left in a post hypnotic suggestion that for the rest of the day the everything red was now blue. watching her ask people to donate to the blue cross was quite funny. I think some thought debenhams wer having another blue cross sale.
I could help you lot remember your lists if you want.

picked up some floradix iron stuff

Honey please step away from the floradix use of herbal remedies, including floradix has recently been linked to m/c. I was astonished as my m/w recommended in in my last pregnancy (the m/c one).
Sure you will be ok as you're well on the way, but I would be v.v.careful.

Why didn't you hypnotise the cat to like the catflap??

Toots I think being pg means all one's ligaments et.c. have softened up and more likely to tear/whatever. Happened last time as well.

Anyway I have done dining room and hall, but not ironing.

greenbee

Things are looking much better, but somehow there is always stuff that doesn't have anywhere to go! Spare room and utility room still need work, and I'll have to work through the stuff piled up on the coffee table too. I have until about midday tomorrow to get everything (including the hedge & lawns) done AND have lunch ready.

Off shopping now, for the stuff I haven't got for lunch....:D

.

Coz when I dangle my gold watch in front of him he plays with it..
i could try a shock induction by chucking a firework near him but Im not sure that he is that hypnotisable anyway. Besides I dont want to see a list up here with "call RSPCA" on it.
