    Morning (just)

    I've done the bedrooms today, did the bathroom yesterday instead. Washing on line but it's pretty cold out so I don't think it will really dry.

    Not caught up yet so I hope everyone's OK. Feeling a bit glum myself but I'll get over it.

    Phew boy's room done, only went in to leave some toys down and ended up moving beds, lifting clothes, toys, rubbish and shoes. Then dusted, hoovered and cleaned the window. Room looks loads better now and the airbed for DD will fit in better this weekend. :D

    Now for some lunch and then i'll make a start on the bathroom.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    It does have a shorter cycle (35 mins) but I use the eco friendly one but it takes just over 3 hours!!:eek:
