    Hi everyone,

    Hello Flyfriends:beer:
    Lots of sunshine today; luckily, I emptied the wash-bin last night (all bar a few bits that can't go in a main wash), so the WM was on early this morning, and it's all hanging outside – Mr LW's so good, he pegs out the heavy items (jeans etc) for me before he goes to work.:A
    I hope Sexymouse is having the time of her life today!:j:beer::smileyhea
    Kazw I hope OH got to work on time; it's awful when they're running late, isn't it?:eek:

    I hope Toots move goes well – I'll tell Mr LW to lay off the rain-dances (he needs to cut the grass this weekend, and wants to get out of doing it);) til we hear she's in her new place. Major posi-vibes for a stress-free move.:o

    Looking at today's list, I just have to do a general clean round in the spare room; all else is either not applicable, or is kept tidy in any case. I think I'll post'n'delete, so that I can see what I actually need to do more easily.:o

    Level Three
    Sort through a clothing cupboard.. anything outgrown?
    WIP – Mr LW's help required, as I need assistance trying things on:( (only clothes in here are mine + our outdoor gear).
    Put any discs back in cases and books back on shelves etc
    Done – all kept tidy and in alphabetical order:o
    Dust.. lightshades, curtain poles, games consoles/PC's etc
    Extras

    1. Make sure coats and shoes and uniforms are ready for school and homework is all done so you can relax the second week of holidays! N/A:p
    2. Wipe any sticky handprints and dirty marks off walls and doors
    3. Wipe down the paintwork & radiators
    4. Clean out any pets! N/A:(
    Lunch break at the moment, though – otherwise I may forget to eat!:eek::D

    Not the best start today. Really want to get out with the kids and enjoy the weather after they finish school so I am determined to get most of the cleaning done today so I have the weekend off. :)
    [STRIKE] have done 1x DW and also cleared the sink. Got three laundry baskets to put away and 2x WM to do but waiting til i have the school uniform to stick in the wash so as to save electric too. ;) [/STRIKE]
