  • Whoever said this gets easier...was right!!

    Wednesday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level 1
    Check smoke alarms are working - definitely - went off this morning when I was cooking breakfast!:rotfl:
    Remove bed linen and replace with fresh linen - did this last weekend
    Declutter the floordrobe - yep!
    Level 2
    Done dusting and de-webbing and grotspot clearance
    Vacuum mattress before replacing fresh linen - did this last weekend Level 3
    Done except for sorting clothes - weekend job.

    And it didn't take me that long - probably should have done more but am now sitting with a glass of wine and DH has just come off the phone so am taking the rest of the evening off.

    Till tomorrow...
  • I've been for a horsey lesson, first one since August with all thats been going on - I've not forgotten as much as I thought :) :j:jlove it :) asked if they had any voluntary or help out for rides places.... maybe. Have to check back

    cat - beagle won this time but she's almost 2 and they're starting to put her in her place, you wouldnt think she was half their size :) she's just a teeny bit gobby :rotfl:cant say too much bad about her, we're having a cuddle as I type :)

    Right well must stop feeling sorry for me self, DH has invited a friend over tomorrow eve to help check if our chickies are gonna hatch :)
    Which means I get to do a full day's cleaning, at least it's not toooooooo bad. :T I'll have to hoover not too long before he gets here and he'll just have to manage with being 'dogged' cos our lot havent met him yet. :rotfl::rotfl:
    Mustn't laugh. No really, I wont (maybe a little ;) )
    Also means I'll be baking something - probably biscuits. Just have to try not to declutter any of them meself :A
    which'll mean the kitchen gets trashed and re-cleaned AGAIN. hate having a teeny kitchen.

    Everyone has been fed (apart from DH who wasn't bothered) and I've cleared up afterwards - just the frying pan to wash. I'm going to try to find homes for some of my approved food order before another early night. Might also get some more cold medicine and either wine or another cup of tea.

    I'm shattered too, Jo, but without good reason. I've not done anywhere near as much as most others on here today. By the way, if you want to call on the way back from Hull you are welcome...

    Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I've got to try to get the cat up to the vet's before 10am and then go in to work. Our finance assistant is in tomorrow and I've got to spend money before the financial year ends. Will get up early and sort my order out over breakfast, I think.

    DH also wanted to go out somewhere, but as he's still in a bad mood, that won't happen. More time for me to potter and no spending, at least. :(

    Anyone got a good website for buying discontinued make-up? The only foundation I have ever found that works for me has been discontinued. It's Clinique. Have put a watch up on e-bay, but wondered if anyone had any other ideas.
