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.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0

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
