    Decluttered some leftover steak pudding, tin toms and HM bubble & squeak for tea with DH.

    Washed up, bins emptied, recycling out. Time for a cuppa.

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Serena hope you feel better soon hun

    Hex - eek what a day you had. I tried to be Pollyanna and thought pushing the bike home is good exercise, I knicked some leaves and had a busy in everybody's garden as I was going slower than I usually walk

    DW on
    WM loaded
    Kids fed

    Just going to wipe the loos and then my soup should be done. I think that will be it for today, I might do a HHI later depending on when I get grotbags to bed.

    Finally found the front hall floor. 12 bin bags put to one side, they'll need sorted by thursday. Only 3 loads left for wm. DD tidying her room and i'm sure she'll have stuff for the wash.

    Kitchen floor cleared of rubbish and junk, need to empty the bin now and put the recycling out, clear the table and sort the clean washing. :D

    thanks Macpeep - bit delayed by a boy with a request I couldn't refuse - could he "do some hoovering please?" :rotfl: I didn't say no!:D

    Kitchen floor swept again - I think I've finally got all the mud up
    Found my fry pan which has something glued to it (not me) - soaking in Coke as not sure how else to shift it - now need something else to cook steaks in later though
    WM x 1, load on dryer, next load rounded up
    Table cleared so we can eat on it later
    Found rather a lot of recycling so that's tomorrows little trip
    One email sent
    Small person put in bath - bed shortly

    Ok - time for teeth & stories upstairs - see you all later

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
