  • Well that HHc turned into an hour and 10 mins!

    My bedroom is so nearly done (as much as it can be before DH builds us a proper size wardrobe that can actually fit more than just my wedding dress in :o)

    I can see most of the floor, the bit that is still covered I'm going to sort out now as its just stuff that needs putting away in other rooms (why there is a brand new toilet brush in my bedroom I will never know...)

    I can't believe how excited I am about having a tidy bedroom :rotfl:

    Back I go...

    Hi all :wave:

    at work at mo, but will tackle list as soon as I'm home. Can I please ask for some positive good luck vibes for DH?? He's got an interview tonight for a job that would mean him living at home all the time for the first time in nearly 3 years... It would mean an awful lot if he got it.

    Hugs

    Bathroom done! Tiles cleaned, paintwork wiped down, radiator wiped and dusted with a sword and a sock, shower curtain done (twice - I always find another bit!), bath, sink, toilet and floor always!!! (2 sons who always miss!), towels in the machine. Phew.

    Now the pc area is a problem as this is where DH parks himself. I will sort through his piles of paperwork, notes, journals..... later. I have attempted to set up countless filing methods which he studiously ignores (I have on my personal list shredding of his post uni JSA claim forms from 1994 which I found under the desk last week!:eek:). So this is a heavy heart chore.

    Does anyone have a super-duper method for cleaning keyboards? I wipe ours but I know is not really clean.
