AnW'smum you just reminded my daft brain I was gonna give you a hug, it must be so difficult going through his belongings you're very brave ((((((hugs))))) xx

Thanks I appreciate it, it's another little task done although I did leave one particular pile of paperwork as I know there is a lot of it relating to DH in there.

I did however shred another load of older paperwork andn replaced it in the files with upto date stuff which has been actioned/updated as necessary.

I also went through the gurantee folder and recycled info on appliances we no longer have, also put the info relating to toys with the toys that are going to be ebayed/given away.

Gping to do something non brain taxing now, maybe even a bit of ironing!

Back from work (and associated training) - gosh it was hot in there today - my eczema is in real flare up mode at the moment and warm rooms just make me want to scratch!

I have decluttered lunch and am about to make DD1 and I a cuppa. The sun is shining - I might even bob some ashing out for a bit!

Well how did you get on Sockdraer and onestep?

I managed to put a load in the WM, put dinner on, hoover through downstairs and mop the kitchen floor.

Food now, see you all in a bit xx

Great HHC (well over HHC but who's counting!) and did Wednesday too. Won't not do any housework as still lots of decluttering and other things to do too.

OK, now for some paid work ..... typing here I come!

Mumof2 well done - glad it went ok

AnW'sMum (((hugs))) again - glad you are ok - be careful going in the loft

LameWolf great news about Dilly

sockdrawer - I suppose it would depend on what kind of suite - if material and if its as mucky as you think it is then I would probably get pros in to do it first - they seem to be able to clean without it getting toooooooooooooo wet! Is there nothing you can take off and wash yourself?

Lil-me I forgot to say earlier that i hope your ankle isnt tooo sore today - try to rest it - good chance to catch up on the studying!!


finally got the washing out - we had humungous hail stones but it has cleared so hoping it will get a bit of drying before dark.

Oh no - the one room that I have been dreading - hoped it would be later in the week. Ladies (and men) I could be a while in this room - If I get lost I'll be hidden under a pile of clothes in the corner

Afternoon all, I have been on a roll and made a headstart on tomorrow, have also done DS's bedding and hoovered and dusted, and DD has done hers! Have rolled all the cutlery in napkins ready for her 21st party next week, and planned the food for the buffet. She is now printing off old photos to decorate the function room, I think shes getting excited now!

onestep

well that HHI was a bit longer than planned, but the baskets are now empty!!! Had my Portuguese CD on as well, so I can now ask where is the bathroom DD is on the bus tonight, so that gives me another half an hour of useful time.

Such a beautiful day here. I spent some time just before lunch in the garden, and the lupins and delphiniums are *just* poking their heads above the soil, and the snowdrops look fabulous. The chickens are enjoying the weather too. Right, time to clean out the rabbit & g.pigs..
