Nice one Seafarer's

Have towels on the line and also washed two of the LSB's dusters - acid comments were made, by me, about the state of them a few weeks back. No improvement so I took them off him;) - he was told that cleaning cannot be done with dirty cloths. I also showed him how to bleach a dishcloth;).
Bed stripped and airing. heating off (see menopause thread;))

Winchelsea

Am just off to see DH in the nursing home - will get stuck in when I get back.

Just writing this means I'll do it - I'm otherwise the world's worst procrastinator!

Morning all

Grey and gloomy here, too. Great news, seafarers wife. Hopefully everything will go smoothly now.

Lost my internet connection again yesterday, so couldn't update. Put almost all laundry away with DSs, so I'm really pleased. Most of what's left is DH's, who couldn't be bothered to join in. He also seems to have decided not to iron this week. Looks like I'll have to find time for that, too.

After that I went out for petrol and groceries and got 2 chips in the windscreen mended at the same time. Then hairdresser's at teatime and a visit 'down the road' to see friends. I've struck a deal with their son - he'll do DS2's halloween outfit and get him ready (does his own costumes and make-up for drag and panto) for some twinks and a nigella cake when he goes away for panto rehearsals in a few weeks. I'd be happy to do it myself, but we're out all day at the live n deadly event and not back until 6pm, I think. I'll need time to get ready for Monday, then.

Plan for today:
flying/decluttering in LR
HHCs in bathroom and kitchen
hoover stairs
change all beds
HW with DS2
trip to the bank if my new debit card doesn't arrive, as I'll need cash

Have a good day, everyone.

Piggers - Well done on the empty basket, I can imagine how much you have with your lot and a new baby :T

The baby isn't so bad it is al tiny stuff so it takes a week and a bath to fill the machine.. it is the bigger stuff which take the room.. and towels.. why do the girls need 4 towels to shower and wash their hair?

I have another load in this morning and just put the towels and jeans on the line and brought in the dry ones from yesterday.. bit of an airig and they can go away.
TD on full of smalls
2 loads read to fold but baby needs feeding first so she doen't fade away


Just writing up a tesco list and paying a few bills and I am sorted for this morning.

I am baking this afternoon and OH is trifling and hanging a curtain pole.

Nails done and DD2 has an appointment for hair mincing.

I'll do me a to-do today list shortly..

Went up town, donated the stuff to a Save The Cats kinda thing (Only one that was open quite early) then walked around for a bit. I've now finished my christmas shopping apart from two cards I think. Bought a lovely camel coloured suede box and some sweets to go in plus a metre of burgundy ribbon that perfectly matched the inside of the box (I didn't even realise 'til I got back). When I got back I rinsed the fishtank filter out and attempted to clean the fiddly bits with cotton buds. Now I'm gonna relax for a bit and catch up on about 2 weeks worth of Doctors on Sky+ and get something to eat, then I have to:

Dust the living room
Sweep then Flash mop the living room floor
Same for garage floor
Wash the dishes
Stick labels on Christmas cards - May do this while watching Doctors

Well I use one for my hair, one for the rest of me then a hand towel on the floor between the shower mat and the door coz we have really cold floor tiles ^-^
