    Update:
    Basically all of today and tomorrow that needs done has been done, except the cottage pie but will do that nearer dinner.
    This is great as me and DS can spend more time tomorrow as I will have many of the chores done (although will be the usual dailies- will post tomorrow list again to show it has been done, along with dailies tomorrow morning or later tonight!). I also changed DS's bed today and hoovered his floor yesterday so that can be ticked when that room comes up :). Really the main room that will need doing will be bathrooms :).

    Another question about flying....

    when spring is sprining does a spring clean get incorporated or do we do that ourselves? I'm thinking about it....grudgingly. :)

    Hi all,

    Looking for listy....

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Flying wise, not done much really house is one huge grot-spot but what the heck, it'll only take an hour to put right, I have however bunged steak & onions in the SC, made umpteen brews, been to work and cleaned their house for 2 hrs windows an all, seen to littley and all her associated school gibble, had a sarnie and fed the rabbits.

    Need to:-
    empty DW
    reload DW
    make beds
    hoover through downstairs
    WM
    TD
    prep veg for tea
    tidy LR table
    S&S kitchen
    take stuff upstairs & put away
    tidy shoes and stuff

    Lil_me what did you do that for :D ouchy! hope it's gone down a bit today xx
