I have done 4 loads of washing!!! .. inc. my smelly bedsheets.
2 loads are out on the line.. and the tiny bits are in the TD

I am having this stupid nail fixed at 2

DS3 having a hissy fit because I bought him new trousers so it is all good fun in here today.. apparently they are meant to be 4 inches up your legs.. he is such a pilchard at times!

Best feed missy baloo and she can be dumped in her bed and I can get the next 2 rounds of washing in the machines and these 2 lots out.. The chimps have all stripped their beds too so they will al be cean tonight as well.. Gotta love sunshiny days

Sitting room done, including moving furniture, damp wiping the thin film of ash off everything, hoovering the sofa, cleaning the glass on the stove, regluing the rope round the stove door and laying the fire. Also dealt with the washing line which decided to break :mad: but luckily its nice and dry out so nothing suffered much. I've managed to restring it to half the length, so should still get the duvets and rugs washed (mattress topper and duvet need to go in the TD anyway to cook properly just in case a dust mite has survived the washing).

Next HHI (pillowcases) coming up...

Mrs Chaos - a chocolate surplus is caused by a friend being given bars of OK-but-not-the-best-chocolate by an elderly gentleman she does bits and pieces for - as a thank you. As it's "OK" chocolate, she can't eat it as fast as it's given, and as she knows I use a lot of chocolate in baking, she passes some on to me in return for a charity donation. I reduce my baking bills, she gets money for charity, and the elderly gentleman is happy that he's giving presents. Three winners.

I believe I am procrastinating, given the state I left the kitchen in! I am off to do, not think about it. See you later.

Half the pillowcase pile done. Having a break to make lunch, feed the WM and work out where to plant the 6 foxgloves that my mother sent down last weekend...

Furniture being moved around here today, a mattress needs to go to MIL's attic. Lunch on now as i'm starving and no painting today because the paint has gone hard, paint shop closed so i'll have to wait until monday. :mad:

Gonna keep on decluttering today and some baking later. We've run out of oil and the earliest we can get it is tuesday. At least the fire is going and the cooker puts out alot of heat so we'll be fine. Hot water bottles and fleeces tonight.
