    I will join you sockdrawer - going off plan today as I'm on a mission to do the jobs that always tend to get left as I run out of steam towards the end of the week, so will do the spare room and bathroom.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Good news, eldest son and youngest daugher were in Orkney over the weekend for the Scottish Community drama awards and their theatre group won. They're really pleased, particularly as the group had written the play themselves. Very chuffed for them.
    :TWell done to them all and I hope you DS is better soon

    I'll join you Sockdrawer but will be late - how can I put this nicely; um, DS is on the loo and I need to be around to 'sort him out' after ;)! I love being a Mum lol. Haven't got a thing done yet apart from empty the DW as had blood test and did a bit of shopping whilst out and then sat and played with DS which is a very important job I think!

    Hi all
    I'm in again this week - trying to keep up now...although I've just been offered another meeting...starting tonight!! :eek: No sweat (!!) Good job I was organised over the weekend then...

    I'm hoping to sort the kitchen out as per Pigpen's list...but there are parts of it that are fighting back.

    Have already done dailies - 3 x WM on the line and drying.

    Take care
    Have a good day

    Well the spare bedroom window frames are back to being whitish (they are mildew free now at least), the windowsill in the bathroom is looking sparkly, and the loo and sink have been left soaking in cleaning products to try and remove some of the limescale build-up.

    I really need to change for work, have an early lunch and then make a move, as time is getting away from me this morning.

    How did everyone else do?
