    Well I've put a bedding set in the WM and went to get the stuff out of the TD that had been in there a few days (I thought it was dry), and it looks like the TD had been turned off before it had dried, so it all stinks! :mad: (Wonder if Moon turned if off to plug one of his bits of machinery in?) Not only that, but there was a tissue amongst it all (guessing from Moon's trouser pocket - he is meant to check them before he puts them in the laundry basket). Have got it in a basket waiting to go back in the WM when I've hung out the sheets. Really annoyed, cos wanted to get the laundry basket a bit emptier, and I won't have enough time now.

    Courgette cake has been baked, and smells really nice. Fingers crossed it tastes nice too.

    Off to see if sheets have finished yet.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Well I would have given up last week if it hadn't been for your support and company ladies. When DH gets in from work and says nothing about the hours I've put in and starts dumping his bits all over the shop (if I have to pick his mug up from LR one more morning:mad:) it can lead to a fatal dose of cba, as it has in previous years summer hols when i try to blitz and get the place clean. But I've kept going and this morning DH actually did some clleaning as well, rubbing off maybe.

    Enjoy the sunshine, it could be gone tomorrow.
    many thanks for fred, dining room beckons.toodlepip.

    Afternoon all,

    I've been helping OH with the plasterboards again so i delegated my dailies to Ds1.

    He

    Tidied living room
    Unloaded & reloaded dw
    Sorted recycling
    S & S Kitchen
    S & S Bathroom

    I was surprised at how quickly he got them done with no moaning. Then i showed him how to make bacon rolls, helped OH a bit and then i came and finished them off. After OH and i finished i fed the plants and refilled the bird feeders.

    I'm filthy now but need to hoover and get some more potatoes from the garden and clean out the bunnies. Then i'll have a shower and get changed.

    This afternoon i need to

    Get Ds2 to put his toys away
    Hoover living room, hall, stairs
    Load dw
    S & S Kitchen
    Put washing on airer in garden
    Collect laundry
    Wm x 1
    Clean out rabbits
    Dig up some more potatoes
    Shower & get changed
    Make some more biscuits ( the dough is in the fridge )
    make another lemon drizzle cake
    Fold some laundry
    Cook tea

    Hmm that'll keep me busy.:cool:

    I've cleaned the bathroom, towels and cleaning cloths are just finishing in the wm.Bathroom really needs a good going over with cillit bang - dh's t-gel shampo makes such a mess of the tiles, but I'm not doing it at the moment so either he can or perhaps when my mum is here she can help. Few food bits for the week ahead bought. Now I may go and snooze for an hour. Bit fed up and weepy today :( probably just tired. Dh is apparently going to dyson round later.

    the weekends go far too quicky, at least only 3 weeks left at work, minus the bank holiday monday. So 14 days, probably I'll be at home at least 2 of those. Have physio on wed and will see if they think I should still actually be working or not!

    Afternoon all

    Outlaws have gone so peace can return. I am a dreadfully hostess and hate house guests overnight :o I need my space.

    Only flying planned for the rest of the day is emptying the DW (delegating that to DS2) and some ironing this evening. Back on track next week starting upstairs.

    Serena hope you had a fab holiday

    Hope I'm glad you got on well at the hospital

    Rach - hugs for you - hormones!

    Lady Liberty - spoons for you once I empty the dishwasher x

    Off for an hour of tidying up the flower beds.
