Haven't done much off the list, but have made some progress -
Main bedroom all tidy, bed made. DH put up curtains and mirror on Saturday, and we put on the new bedding so looks really nice - and much easier to keep tidy
DS Bedroom - bed made and washing cleared
Spare room - bed remade and floor tidied.
Lounge - tidied.
Kitchen - better not mention!
Conservatory/dining room - a bit of tidying done.
Am trying to pace myself, very short of spoons since the chest infection. Doesnt take much to wear me out at the moment. So I am fluttering rather than trying to achieve any level on the list, but am trying to just do some basics and generally just trying to do something each day. so far so good.
Toots, good to see you home, and feeling better
Pigpen - what a lovely name, and such a gorgeous picture.
invisblecabbage - just use neat vinegar - dont think it matter what colour - in the fabric conditioner bit instead of fabric conditioner. I think you only need about a tablespoonful. The washing doesnt smell of vinegar afterwards, and lovely and soft.
sexymouse, hope you feel better soon, glad that moon has sorted out the garage.
Welcome to the newbies.

Greenhouse deslugged and closed up for the night. About to switch off and retire for my much needed beauty sleep:rotfl::rotfl:
Goodnight, nos da0 -
Well I got level 1 and 2 done, and I'm pleased with that
but then OH came in in a foul mood and had a go at me saying the house was a mess. I know I'm not the tidiest person but I have made a real effort lately but nothing is good enough for him it seems
Then, while I was crashing around in the kitchen showing how cross I was and resisting the urge to spit in his dinner, he was on my laptop, because hisis "too slow" apparently, and left it propped on its side on the floor. While we were eating dinner he knocked it over and now it wont boot up
So I have a broken laptop and a colicky, unsettled baby and I really don't want to go and sleep in the same bed as him
Le Sigh
Anyway, as he'll probably take his laptop to work tomorrow I need to scribble down tomorrows list so I can still get it done, although I feel like a total drudge and a doormat and I want to rebel, but that's just hurting myself in the long run so I'll be a good girl and behave! Night night everyone xSo, there are these boys,
They kinda stole my heart,
They call me Mummy
