    Morning and hugs to all
    Did better yesterday - got most of the living room done - dog still moulting so am tempted to binbag her right now! I can vacuum, go away for ten minutes and come back and you can actually see on the floor where she's walked because there is a trail of hair. Nearly over though I hope. Pancakes tonight - hoorah.

    I feel in a very dragon-esque type mood today, I think there is a distinct lack of caffiene situation going on. :rotfl: It doesnt help that I hate my job - I want to stay home and get things done. Ive noticed I now have monday morning feeling everyday - its not nice to hate going to work.

    I think I will just breathe flames at anyone who annoys me today :D

    WM emptied and refilled. LO decluttering breakfast and is about to be decluttered out the door

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I'mso off list. In the end I only got kitchen level one'd. (and ignored the hotspot that it the kitchen table...there is a mountain of stuff on it). I have a clean queen friend coming on thursday and I'm out tomorrow so today I'm staying off official list and plan to start in the sitting room and head back towards the kitchen through my dining room. I'll probably give the bathroom a decent once over tonight....not doing bedroom until the weekend....
