    Toots has a list, a very impressive to do list, other people who have a "to do list" now call it a 'Toots' list:)

    Ah right!! Sort of the ToDo list I used to write when I used to help my late sister blitz her house once a month (I think I was the only one that cleaned! :eek:)

    Not much to report. Dog walked early this morning, washer on four times already- may leave it for today and do some more on Sunday.
    Going out to sit in garden with a cuppa may cut grass later.

    Hope all having a nice Saturday whatever you do.

    hugs

    still feeding WM and line drying :D

    Am clearing bits and pieces as I go round but not concentrating in one place. Just wondering if I should go out and do some shopping now so that I dont have to do it tomorrow before work but then I think I may achieve less all round if I do but its too nice to be stuck in :(

    Think I might do a bank account check and then see if I'm ok to do a supermarket crawl for bargains rather than essentials (well the under stairs cupboard has space now and need to fill it :rotfl:)

    Afternoon all

    Miss A made some buns as a present earlier, they are now both at active kids and I am about to mow the back lawn. Absolutely gorgeous out there today so mowing will be warm work! But if I do it now it will be easier than waiting a few days.

    I have spoken to toots and the move is going well so far, the weather is great up there and she has an army of helpers. She will try and pop on later :)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I have a very sorry feeling hound. He decided to try and declutter a ham roll from my lunch plate when I went to answer the phone. Don't think he likes English mustard. :D That'll teach him - found another 2 letters and one of my boots in the garden this morning :mad:

    DW slowly being loaded. Kitchen still a tip though. Lots of icing sugar on the floor from baking. Must scrub tomorrow.

    Car all cleared out, i'm hoover and dust it next week and hubby can wash it when he's finished powerhosing on monday. 1 bin bag of rubbish took out and another bag of everyone's crap.

    Gonna grab a cuppa and then get the blinds out of the wm and rehung, hopefully they'll be ok.

    Gonna get hubby to get the fire ready for later and i need to find something for dinner and bring in the washing.
