    Morning all.

    Michelle your baby is not nearly due is it? You sure sound like you are nesting big time - good luck.

    PPen you're doing great as ever - very impressed.

    Done all the usual morning stuff here - washing on line despite the damp air - gets it out the kitchen.

    Hooving and floor mopping are top priority here and some financial flying I need to do. Will be really good now and turn off pc before I get distratcted by some other threads.

    See you later.

    Morning all,

    Lynz, your spare room doesn't look that bad just a case of sorting a few bits out, im sure it won't take too long to do.

Need to get memory for d's pc as it is soooo slow need to upgrade mine also. Just cannot be botherred. Also need to post items sold on ebay and cash girocheque the Tax credits send me. Because they are a pain and mucked up my tax credits AGAIN). And all i wanna do is sleep. Maybe i should do something because otherwise i can see me watch jeromy kyle type programmes all day. lol.

    Funky Fairy your list is almost identical to mine!

    Hoovering downstairs (except living room done). Floors mopped - oh managed to trap myslef in family room with wet floors either side again - shame pc is in here.

    Going to clean downstairs loo/basin next and then dust family room and OH office.

    Bother it is raining on my washing!

    Then financial flying before doing living room in one go.

    BTW do you dust/wetwipe room first or hoover first?

    Oh no tax return - doing that right now:eek:

  • Hi, Vicky! :wave: I too have 2 days of peace! Couple of tip on how to start:

    1. a place that will be noticed - in my case the porch and kitchen. They'll be spotless when children are back tomorrow, but not for long :D

    2. a place that you feel good in - in my case I'm goingto have my bedroom with clean sheets, candles, completely dust free.

    3. an easy place - in my case the bathroom got a full clean last week, so today just a qick swish, swipe, and fold of towels.

    Almost forgot, I'll then have some indulgence time for me - a reddish rinse for my hair, luxuriate in the bath with glass of red and my book, singing tonight, and my knitting.

    HTH, Penny. x

    Well, I blitzed the kitchen - even went to the bottle bank with the glass;)
    Then I dusted and vacuumed all downstairs - even moved the furniture and got behind - ugh the cobwebs!:o
    I did several loads of laundry - even took off the cushion covers and did those. Jolly old Stardrops removed the little wine stain that has been lurking on one of them for ages:rotfl:
    Removed ALL the clutter from the dining table and polished it - now very shiny
    Next stop - upstairs.
    :j Every day in every way, learning to money save:j
