    Hi,

    Since my last post i have

    Loaded dw
    S & S Kitchen
    Sorted all the clean laundry into ironing & non ironing
    Put all stuff that doesn't need ironing away

    I want to go out in the garden but Ds2 isn't bothered, he usually can't wait to get out there but he's just led on the sofa watching tv.:cool:
  • OK - I've escaped "that" place for a couple of days - so what can I achieve here?

    HHC at 2.15 anyone?

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.

    have a go at foraging with DS2 in the afternoon (blackberries and crab apples, if I can find them) - hoping for a crumble.
    visit MIL with kids and holiday souvenirs

    Doesn't look like much for more than 3 hours, but I'm starting to see a difference. Lunch has been made, eaten and cleared away. DW ready to go on. I just made myself a well deserved coffee with the newly cleaned machine (just flushed through, no detergent), but it tasted awful. I'll have another go when I come back with DS2. If we get dressed quickly enough we can be out by half past.

    Hi all

    I'm in again this week. Mad as it sounds I want to get the house straight before we go on holiday (so that my sister doesn't have something to talk about when I get back - she's looking after the house while we're away).

    Hope everyone is well - sending hugs for anyone who needs one. Thanks to the usual suspects for the thread...

    I've been a busy bunny today and here's what I've been up to...

    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining area
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Sweep and mop the floor
    Clear and wipe worksurfaces
    Clean the sink![/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Wipe fronts of appliances and units.. kickboards too!
    Wipe small appliances and replace.. clean 1 to perfection..
    Wipe table and replace cloth if needed[/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    HHI
    [STRIKE]Tidy the undersink cupboard.. only put back what is supposed to be there!![/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wipe over oven and hob and fridge.[/STRIKE] These actually needed a good clean, so have spent a happy (!) hour or two making sure these gleam.

    Extras
    1. [STRIKE]Dejunk windowsills[/STRIKE] And cleaned windows/sills
    2. [STRIKE]Degunge deterrgent drawers, filers and doorseals!!![/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Degrot tiles
    Empty and wash out bins!
    [/STRIKE]

    I've got a couple of other things to do too - sorting through a box of junk, make banana muffins, stitch the hem on the dress I made and tidy my desk a bit.

    Right...think I'm going to get hold of a cup of coffee and make a start...

    Have a good afternoon
    Take care
