    Well so far today I've been catching up on mount washmore - one load of bedlinen washed and put away, 1 medium wash in TD, 1 darks wash in WM. Still only half-way to the summit! Having the rest of my lunch and a cuppa and by then hopefully the things in TD will be ready to put away.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Well that's the kitchen floor finished, now drying so having a sit before I do the benches. For those thinking is she mad, why do the floor first ? Simple reason, I've never got round to it recently. It's depressing when you don't get round to one part as everything else is so bad hence why these lists are doing me good, so I don't miss it again! Not nice when you start sticking to parts. Oh and that mop is pants! Daft microfibre thing which looked great but it's useless, go to wring it out and the pad falls off, pah! At least I've used it now, been falling over it for months!

    Hmmmm need to find a little bottle of motivation somewhere ....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    That is excellent news Mollinagirl, plenty of time to get reading up on stuff as well before spring. ETA this is a good book, no pretty pictures but helpful. I paid £1.99 in the Works
    Raph - good luck with it
    sockdrawer - my vote is for Aldi chorizo at £1.49

    I am still working on our bedroom and the tool/junkstore that is the en suite to be. Two black bags of junk out and a lot of re-arranging done. Just need some lumch and then I can crack on again.

    macpep that's horrible! Hope you've calmed down now.

    Just spent an hour in the kitchen, flung a load of junk that was in the under-sink cupboard and washed it out, wiped every surface and everything that got in my way (luckily the dog was in the living room :D) and washed all the cupboard doors and kickboards.

    Just had my lunch & finishing my cuppa then going to practice on my sax before the wife gets home to spoil my peace :D
