First washing load on, upstairs tidied a bit (bed a mess but sort of airing
)
Is anyone else starting to think about a spring clean....a proper start at the top and clean every unseen inch on the back tops and bottoms of big furniture and the ceilings style spring clean? It requires planning to get upstairs done before down! As we're about to start more building work I'm considering just NOT this year, but wonder if the ''discipline'' aspect of it is important?0 -

In my (slightly longer) HHC I:
* made beds
* loaded DW (had dishes from Sat eve there as we were out all day yesterday)
* put away dry washing
* hung up wet washing
* moved clothes which had been dumped downstairs back upstairs
* did a some of Pigpen's list too (haven't bothered copying it over)
* done my meal plan for the week
* done shopping list
Now got to feed DS his snack; I need a herbal tea and need to keep going with Piggers' list (not vacuuming though; can't disturb HRH watching cBeebies!)Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
