    Right not doing too bad today!! Although as has been said before i'm sure spies are at work and know my stairs are appalling!! Been so good working my way down the laundry mountain last week that lazyness took over and i've just been piling the ironing on the stairs waiting to go upstairs. At the moment i think theres 4 loads on there!!! (Think i was rather hoping it would grow legs and take itself!!) :) Well obviously the spies saw and now i just have to do it!!!

    On a better note, all dailies done and i've sorted the stair cupboard out, and as coats and shoes live in there it was 2 jobs in 1 Woop woop!! :)

    Going to hoover everywhere and then mop kitchen, living room and bathroom just before I go to pick up DS at 3pm. WM is about to go on for the 3rd time today so DH can take it all to the launderette to dry this evening.

    And now I must find my pregnancy notes and the pot and produce a wee sample :rotfl:
