Good morning. Lovely sunshine here WM repaired yesterday. It need pump, drive belt and computer management panel. Luckily the insurance was one of the few things I didn't cancel.
DD is trying to persuade me to go to the pool so I will have to do some bathroom cleaning as I spent all of yesterday chasing my tail. it is too cold to swim so I will just go for the outing and a cuppa.

I'm so busy I am lurking but my kitchen, dining room, bathroom, lounge, landing and stairs are done. Kids room vacuumed as is the hall - just the shelves to dust in here. Oh, and my ironings done. Managed to catch the washing before it escaped:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh and I've posted off e bay sales...and listed more collectables;)

At first I read that as kids vacuumed!:o:o:rotfl::rotfl:

Managed to run the washing through last night so will be ironing it this morning!

Catch you later!

Found out last night that a local dog walking friend has had a stroke so I may be acquiring another hound for a couple of weeks. Not sure how Oz will take to it. At least he's a black lab so not too much shedding likely to go on. Problem is he chews anything and everything - great inspiration for flying and getting everything off the floor :rotfl:

Yeah! This is working.

I'm at the end of week 2 and despite only doing level one most days + a bin bag fling 2 x a week I can already see a marked improvement. I get up to level 3 one day a week but as it seems to be a different room every Monday this is working.

Gonna keep going, and try and increase the bin bags to one a day. I've lived here 14 years and want to sell up so you can imagine the clutter levels. Next week's bin bags will be my lads old size 2 nappies for my sister to collect in early April so passing forward the old style wol. : ) She's only using them during the day at home, unlike full time as I did but it all helps : )

Morning all, it's been a long and complicated week here but i think we're through the worse of it now.

Plan today is to do abit in each room, house isn't too bad but it could be better. Heading to Scotland next thursday, then back friday but it will be great to get away even if it's only for a night.:rotfl: My sister and BIL are looking after the kids so need the house tidy and plenty of food in, plus i've loads of appointments next week.

Best get Rhys up and fed/changed and then i'll do a HHC in the boys room.

Hope everyone's well, love, hugs, sticks and spoons to all who need them.
