    I have put the TD on, and put the glass cleaning stuff on the wood burner. Is it just me or has it gone very cold? Might help if I actually got on with something.

  • in my HHC i have

    unloaded DW
    loaded DW
    pegged out 1st load of washing
    rebooted WM
    s + s both bathrooms
    wiped down kitchen sides
    took out bin

    I want a 12 min washer and for £247 for the cheapest one it doesnt seem that bad except

    There is a catch with the 12-minute wash, however.
    It apparently works best when clothes aren’t too dirty. According to the manufacturers, if clothes are really filthy, nothing beats an old-fashioned soak.

    Will just have to put up with my 45 minute wash cycle till the kids leave home lol

    SO it wouldnt be too great in our house lol x

    Off to declutter a coffee

    Got DD home from school today, poor love had a raging temperature at midnight and was shaky. She had a stinking headache (had it yesterday too she told me after I picked her up from school) so have decluttered 6+ Calpol. The Calpol has worked its magic and she's now sat in her room reading/on the DS for a bit and keeps wanting to come downstairs but mean mum isn't letting her. It's unusual for her to be off as she's normally so healthy and this is only her second ever day off sick in 4 years of school :T!

    Anyhow, here's the list:

    Master bedroom & landing - Thursday
    Done


    Friday ~ those frightening kids rooms and spare rooms
    Extras
    1. 15 minutes in the garden.. preparation for summer, planting, weeding or just enjoying!
    2. Wipe the radiators, skirtings!
    3. HHI


    My Friday jobs
    Red Nose Day – DD to wear something funny to school and take donation of £1 plus
    Vacuum right through
    Book time for shopping delivery next week
    9 - 12 Help at pre-school

    I'll join in the HHC even though I'm a bit late.
