    I damp wiped the bannisters
    emptied the bins ready for tomorrow
    collected a few bits which need to go to the tip (my friend is going soon and they are too small to justify a trip on their own.)
    Vacuum packed the box of clothes of DH's which have been sat on top of the present/glove drawers for ages, also cleared some more from the wardrobe.
    Had to do that really quickly before a. I lost my nerve and b. before my eyes got too damp :(

    Can't put it in the loft until Miss A is home to help me.

    Going to do a HHA (admin) now as a divsrionary tacktic and then lunch.

    Will report back at 1pm, if I don't send the search team in.

    Off to vacuum and hopefully wipe over settees now- will edit my list when done.

    Great news WILF , you must feel so proud- and to know you are helping him achieve his goals/dreams must feel great.

    Onestep- Does that mean you can e-mail me more now? (!no webcams mind- I'm not fit for human consumption after 7pm due to my jimjam attire:o)

    I did the Sunday Lunch Soup a la Phil Vickery recipe and it went down a storm last night. Will def be doing it again- Only I left out the chicken. Chocolate fudge cake got a distinctly average comment so won't be buying that cake mix again.

    Wm just finished - might try my luck and hang it on the line:p

    Happy flying

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Just like to say it really helps me to see what's happening tommorrow too.

    Is it generally considered that putting the week up at the beginning is daunting? I always like that Thurs & Friday come up together. One of the things is that I can flip them ...e.g. i I have workmen in and want to stay down stairs but one of the days is an upstairs day....

    e.g. I have people all this week in...and I'm out on friday. I'll probably crack on with master room this evening level one-ing and then not feel I'm falling behind.
  • Thats Wednesdays list all done!:j Not even looked at todays as DS is home today and is busy [STRIKE]trashing[/STRIKE] playing in the lounge.

  • love, hugs and spoons to those that need em.

    my ongoing list. im morphing from the lurgey into a cold :( and have a 6 week fit note so still slightly limited in what i can do. discovering that the more i push the more i hurt so need to slow it right down which is driving me mad! thankfully the kitchen is relativley tidy so im going to concentrate more on surface cleaning rather than deep cleaning.
