Managed to get DS bedroom done. DD is on work experience this week she is at the hairdressers! Work was quiet tonight but had all the usual regulars in. Think this week is going to be a long one. Going to clean the car out tomorrow its manky. Needs a good wash and a hoover out, the tyres pumping up and the water/oil checking.Sealed Pot Challenge member #982

Hi LiT

I know you said the date way back but I dont want to have to go back over them, it could take me ages and my eyes are tired. Hope your not too tired from work and doing all the tidying and clearing.

This time next week I will be heading off on my hols Woop woop. Everything is packed and ready to go. I need to get the roof box on the car which should be fun!!! Once everything is in the car/roof box I can give the house another going over as at the minute there is carp everywhere lol.
Not really got alot of housework done this week. Im working 7 shifts this week and feel knackered. 5 down 2 to go. Roll on Monday when I have 3 days off. Only in work Thursday and Friday evening next week then Saturday we leave. I will blitz the house again over those 3 days so its all ship shape before I leave and before my mum arrives. (shes dog watching and its a change of scenery for my dad as he is unwell at the moment and a change will do him good) As a treat I will add sky sports to my sky package just for him then get rid of it when the month is up lol.
Still not had a ciggy!!!!

Been out in the garden all afternoon and cleared the junk. Took a load to the tip and put the bags out for the bin men to take tomorrow. Hosed down the patio and made a gate to keep the dog from escaping. (Who needs a man hey!). Tomorrow ive got the kitchen to finish then thats me done, all ready for Friday night/sat morning. Woop woop.
