    Okay, in the last half hour I have:

    Tidied the kitchen
    Emptied bins and put out wheelie bin
    Unloaded dw and reloaded
    Swept and washed kitchen floor
    Hoovered downstairs i.e. living room, hallway, bathroom and study.
    S&S study
    Tidied and S&S’d bathroom.
    Bath mats and shower curtain in wm:j

    Made a start on the dining room – as we don’t use this room often it has become the dumping ground so it could take a while!! I am determined to get it straight though.

    But now a nice cup of tea I think – anyone??
