    Work surfaces nearly done - just 1 left. Need to have a quick hoover as well before visitors come so the floor isn't all furry for niece! Still haven't decided what she's having for dinner - I'm sure I'll think of something - it'll involve pasta as I have some pasta in for her.

    Whoops I joined JulieJim in her 9am HHC and was still at it at 11.30. I couldn't run around as I now have a poorly back to go with wrist & foot.

    All washing finished & on airer, Kitchen nearly level 3 + extras, Bathroom S & S, need to attack main bedroom but kitty cat is asleep in there so don't want to disturb due to her missing adventure, lunch done & cleared, DS1 school tie handwashed, conservatory swept.

    Bank statements have just arrived so think I will balance my accounts then play with DS2

    :hello: and welcome to nuttyville:D
    Remind me again why we let you back??? :p

    Some work done. It's freezing here, so I've put the heating on to warm up the bathroom. Once I'm showered I'll light the fire and move into the living room. Hopefully the cooking marathon in the kitchen will keep that warm! Need to do leeks & mushroms to go with chicken, which can then be re-frozen (need to check what size foil containers I've got as plastic ones all seem to be in use :o).

    Need to get LOTS of work done this afternoon... update the stuff I did last night, chase ex on something I sent through to him last night and get moving properly on stuff for April, plus take notes from a recording of a meeting held last week.

    Better go and check the dryer and soup...
