Morning, just
Have done nothing but faff around online so far, apart from taking the boys to music. Should really get on with it, although DS's room isn't too bad apart from the books on the floor. Will S&S the kitchen and living room until 1 when I have to feed the baby (who has a cold and isn't feeding very well), then going to post my one ebay thing that sold and get baby weighed, and go to Mr T, then do DS1's room when I get back. OH was home super early yesterday so didn't get much else done. He bugs me too much when he's here by asking what I'm doing every 30 seconds lol.

Kitchen clean. Downstairs cat litter tray washed and drying. That and upstairs one waiting to be refilled (I do that outside to minimise dust;)) Supposed to be a tray each but they share nicely :rotfl:

Afternoon all. Not enough washing for a load today but it's so cold and dull that I doubt any would dry.
So I'm having a lazy day because I'm up to date with the lists and I've been watching Midsomer Murders that I taped last night. Hope everyone's OK.0 -
