Opened bathroom window wide and got a broom under the fascia boards and gave it a good scrub.
The extractor vent comes out here too. and was hanging down slightly so gave that a good whack back on:D
Scrubbed inside edge of the window where the hinge is and got rid of all the aragogs:eek:
The ledge is also shiny and white again now.
Re-dressed the window with my Primark sarongs as I had to replace the swag holders cos they had gone all rusty.
Just have the vegetable trolley I use to keep the toiletries organised to wipe over and sort through now.:j
Keep going ladies-- Its getting so much easier now!

How did you get on sockdrawer?
I got distracted by a lovely guy with a gorgeous Irish accent canvassing for the Red Cross but once I'd stopped drooling I managed to clear the LR floor and the second sofa (major hotspot) and hoover the floor, so the LR is presentable. Going to S&S the kitchen and hopefully at least get the bathroom started before I need to feed Jakey 5 chins at 4

I joined you in my own little wobble along way...
Bins are all ready for mum to take out as I cant lift them and have to admit I might have pushed myself a bit much as I am now laid on the sofa with a :coffee: feeling a bit dizzy _pale_. Still clean(er) house :rotfl:.
I thought you were supposed to be recuperating? Take it easy - the house isn't going to descend into chaos if you take time out to get over your op. I noticed earlier you mentioned you have dissolving stitches... that sounds like a good thing.
LOL when I was sterilised, mumblety mumble years ago, I had ordinary stitches, and was supposed to visit the surgery to have the nurse remove them. Well, I decided I couldn't cope with yet another medical bod prodding me about, so I had a very large whisky, and whipped the bu88ers out myself!:rotfl:
I nearly had heart faliure when I saw it was bathroom day today - but it kept me occupied while I waite for blokey to turn up with the doors.:o They've been delivered now, and are occupying the carport til Mr LW gets home. At which point, he'll haul them into the spare room, where everything gets stored, so flying will be somewhat limited in there for the forseeable future. It can't be helped, as far as we're concerned, it's what that room is for!;)
Oh, and I'll be AWOL on Friday again; Mr LW's got a day's leave he's using up, and we're taking the car for her 50,000 mile service, having a courtesy car while she's in the garage, and moseying off into Northampton for a change.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
Hi All :wave:

Special Love and Hugs as always to Lady-L, Toots & Diva
