Hi all

I have done - well not a lot and its nearly 11am.... Im supposed to be making the most of being at home!

Ive quickly spoken to my mum - decluttered DS for the weekend to Scotland to visit my family. Have spoken to OH - which is still very fraught at the minute and have spent the rest of the time feeling sorry for myself.

Just as well piggers is at the hospital and Toots isnt here at the minute or Id have a mule sticking out of my ear....

Im off to declutter myself to the shower first...

Well done; that was loads and MissHiggerty too.

Well I managed to;

Thoroughly cleaned both fireplaces, stoked the burner and re-laid the lounge fire. Restocked the indoor log pile and coal scuttle. Sorted the garage and tidied the outdoor log and coal piles. Tidied and sorted the re-cycling, changed the hoover filters. Answered 3 phone calls and spoke to the neighbours and I'm back in again at 11.15. It's going to be a long day, I'm tired out already.

My stairs are a black spot more than a hot spot. I don't think I can sort them out a lone though....which pushes them to the weekend.

Well this is where you apply the dot2dot(tm)(pat pending;) ) method. How many stairs are there? Then you start with just one of them, which is what I am going to do starting at 11.30 after I have had a :coffee: join me for the coffee and then we can start

ETA Well done MissHiggerty

Morning all

Washing out on the line, nice and sunny today. Next door having new windows put in so another noisy week. I'll be glad when their house is all finished. Better than the cannabis growing ones we had before though.....

Otherwise, just generally tidied round (did the living room yesterday) and waiting for Asda shopping to be delivered.

Going to finish catching up now.

I had a quick google and found this

It looks as though you need a pH neutral cleaner...which can be quite pricey - but here is a recipe to make your own at home for free :money:

Hope this helps... xx
