    I have emptied all the food shelves in the larder and DH has wiped them all over so now it is just the boring job of putting everything back in and the attempting to locate the floor in there!
    My DD was up ill for most of the night so made me sit with her for over an hour earlier but she seems to be perking up so hopefully I can get more done this afternoon.

    I've put the TD on now which Jerry hates so he's decided to come and lie in the middle of the LR where I'm trying to clean now.

    Thats HHC over and a cup of coffee waiting!

    Toaster cleaned, appliances cleaned, HOTSPOT on top of the fridge done which created another bin bag dance! Anyway, the kitchen is looking FAB and will wash the floor when the kids are in bed later.

    Sounds ominous, valli.

    DW and WM on, DH has de-webbed LR ceiling and walls, and also dusted dado rails and top of fire place. Clothes sorted into ironing and non-ironing and the latter taken upstairs.

    Plans for today have changed yet again - looks like we'll be going out for a new phone later. We have three handsets (LR, our BR and DS1's), but only one base works, so they are charged on a rota. The answering bit is faulty, too, so we'll see if we can get a bargain at Mr A's (George) or Argos.

    I think that there are going to be changes...more of that later.

    intriguing.. oooo go on, tell us :D:p

    just getting lunch, then the tree is for it! Has to come down today, as DH will be away on 12th night, and it's a big (real) one, I can't manage it on my own. DD has stopped helping now, trying to take down the lametta and keep it untangled has defeated her! ;)

    :wave: to all the newbies!

    hugs to greenbee

    Lost my manners earlier, Thanks to all at Flylady central, and welcome to all the Newbies xx

    Trees are down, and dec's all packed away in boxes.....any decs that are in the attic and not in boxes will be flung.....they were not used at Christmas so highly unlikely to be used next Christmas.
    DD and I have cleared her corner.....2 bags of carp flung , a small bag for charity and a small bag for school. I nned to put the hoover round and make a start on the kitchen.

    Light covering of snow here and bitterly cold, so need to get on with jobs to warm up.

    A bit of washing and drying was done on the weekend so have some ironing to do too, as well as the wash basket being full, again!!!! As well a s a pile sitting on DD's floor that has been waiting to come down for a couple of days !!!!

    Having a drink after lunch now and will carry on.....xx
