Fridge scrapings on for soup. I am going to empty both fridges and scrub them out now. If I write it on here I have to do it :cool:.

Also fed the birds - we are lucky and have a mature crab apple, sorbus and a lot of pyracantha in the front garden. They have all been stripped of fruit already when they usually last another couple of months. What are the poor birds going to do for food for the rest of winter? My annual flock of waxwings came today to take the last of the sorbus berries, they usually come back over a couple of days but there is nothing left for them on the tree.

Afternoon all, not caught up yet so posting first and reading after.

I did Monday and Tuesday's lists over the two days, mixed up. Today I've done all the bedrooms and two loads of washing, draped round indoors.

Also dusted and vacuumed living room and through downstairs again.

Nearly time to start cooking so I'll try and catch up here for ten minutes first.

Glad your Dad is holding his own Helen

I've been sleeping really badly lately, I go off to sleep quite well but then I wake in the early hours and my brain is just going round and round. When I do sleep I have tiring dreams - I spent last night cleaning out rabbit hutches. I don't have a rabbit.....

How does she do it? Study and bathrooms desperately need attacking.

Well, you know all those spiders you see lurking in corners and building webs without planning permision? They're actually Pigpen's little spies, and use the webs to send morse code signals back to her so she knows which of our rooms are the biggest tip.:D:D:D

"A" never got here last night - poor beggar got kidnapped by users and had to work late. So he's (hopefully) coming this evening instead.:o

Flying-wise, I've spent time ensuring that all my spreadsheets are up to scratch - I have several, my accounts, Mr LW's accounts, the grocery inventory and costs record and such like. Emails have also been thoroughly weeded and those I need are filed in sensible folders.

I shall now, I suppose, have to get off my bum and do some more physical stuff.:eek:

Updated list as it stands at present - I'll then delete what I've done from the Word.doc.;)

Emails all decluttered ; spreadsheets all checked and up to date, and also backed up; all bills are paid up to date, and we are debt-free.:T Filing is as up to date as possible - can't get to the Receipts or Health files as the remaining new doors are in the way.:o

Clean the downstairs curtain poles/tracks.. furniture polish is a foolproof way of making the curtains run smoothly again!
