    done landing, stairs and hall and made a start on dining room

    taken DD to docs for her booster, took two bags of plastic as the car park by the docs has recycling AND popped across the road and posted a parcel out

    so

    three birds with one stone.

    Go me.

    Just the dining room to finish and I have amost got there, then my bedroom + bedstripping tomorrow leaving me plenty of time, in theory, to tackle some of my other tasks...

  • i need to ask a bit of a silly question. what is a flordrobe when its bedroom cleaning time. is it the floor where all your clothes end up or is it the bottom of the wardrobe where all your clothes end up depending on what type of person you are?

    this gets me a bit confused each time the bedroom list is published.

    thanks
  • Just updating my list....

    Bathroom cleaned and sparkly leaving the bedrooms to do tomorrow. Should be able to do this leaving plenty of time to do other things this weekend
