    Morning all

    I've been thinking about you this morning Boddy.

    I've done the kitchen/diner, hallway/computer desk, living room and stairs today. One load of washing draped round. About to start a roast dinner because I didn't cook yesterday (went out with DDs for lunch/garden centre mooch).

    I've sorted out paperwork this morning and done loads of shredding/recycling.

    Hope everyone's OK, not finished catching up yet.

    Afternoon, all.

    This is probably the time to stock up on kitty litter as stocks decrease in cold weather as soon as the grit, sand and salt run out.;)

    Morning Chloris - I've got 'stuffed head' CBA so lets do the bathroom together.
    Morning toots - you were up late last night (looks accusingly)

    Just realised I didn't put my PJs in the WM load :mad:


    Thanks Craftyscholar! Lists done, apart from ironing (later) and the shower head - do I soak this in vinegar?

    Thanks to FCC I am learning to clean. I changed my extractor blanket last night. I didn't know it needed to be changed 3 monthly! I haven't done it in 6 years.....:o.

    Going to declutter some pumpkin soup and then make a cake and apple crumble.

    Hugs and spoons to all. x
  • In my HCC which turned into 2, the:

    Spice drawer
    Bean/lentil/rice etc cupboard
    Cleaning cupboard
    2 single cupboards
    3 drawers

    have all been emptied, cleaned, sorted, de cluttered and refilled.:j

    2 bin loads chucked, why do I keep such rubbish?

    Also folded and put away things that were in the TD.:T

    I plan to have some lunch now and then start on the larder unit, this may take some time though as there is a lot in there at the moment.
