    Good Morning All
    Another sunny day here too.
    Didn`t get any cleaning done yesterday because we went out for a meal after work.
    It was a nice change though.
    Cleared the fridge out this morning and am ashamed of how many vegetables have gone to waste. Too far gone to be salvaged for soup.
    Must really look at my shopping habits. Do I really need to buy so much food on a weekly basis as I used too when the children were small?
    Usually just cook for me and DH and DS does his own when he`s here.
    Is anyone else guilty of this?
    Have a good day everyone

    OMG a binbag full of stuff lurking in my bathroom? Stuff I've bought and has gone out of date/didn't like/was allergic to! My mum will be doing very well I think!

    The bathroom looks lovely now, have wiped everything to within an inch of its life with Zoflora so it's smelling nice too - just hope DH notices when he gets in.

    Have sprayed the sink, loo, bath, tiles with cleaner - that can soak in while I have my next cuppa and decide what's next on the list.......... :D

    THIS is brilliant - you guys are SO motivational (and way better that FLYing). I feel like I can conquer the world! THANK YOU!
    Inspired by Sequeena (thank you!) I've managed to shuffle DS#2's room furniture around before half term holiday (on friday afternoon) now he's got more space in his room to play.
    DS#1 & DS#2 had a good tidy up and their rooms were (dare i say it) immaculate.
    We then tackled the bathroom which was YUKKY to say the least (dusty surfaces and 'muddy' skirting boards). I took down the curtains, washed them and put them out for the charity collection, and now it's a whole lot better with lots more light coming in and everything is so clean (white suite) we are thinking of putting a lower wattage bulb in the ceiling light (lolz).
    working up to doing the kitchen next... but after half term hols obv. (health permitting)

    I am so far behind with these posts... and so far behind with my cleaning.

    Can I still be part of the club?!
    Can we pretend that aeroplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, cause I could really use a wish right now...

    Well the lobby was next! :D

    It's the space in between the bathroom and kitchen (downstairs bathroom which I hate!) but houses the washing machine, cupboard (with washing powder etc in), microwave and fridge freezer. Another bag of stuff gone! That's almost 3 bin bags of 'stuff' today.

    Had my bath now as I'm off to a leaving do tonight - could have done with staying in for once and starting on the kitchen! Tomorrow is another day though......

    Hi everyone well Iv not been able to get on the site till now due to a fault on the box near me. Its been horrible not being able to catch up with the posts.
    Iv only cleaned the one room and bird cage mind you the little git makes a mess everywhere with seed. He kept telling me to p*****f, thanks to oh teaching him to swear. When I saw the state of my blinds near his cage he was lucky I didnt swear at him,lol.
    Had blood tests to see if my blood sugars are still raised hope not as it will be another long glucose test at the gp.
    No baby yet Parsnip and here I am looking forward to the pics. Next doors twins are teething and were screaming their litttle heads off, along with the parents who I think are sleep deprived.
    Hart pretend your in someone elses house whilst your cleaning it works for me. Kt Im in fits and starts with the housework so Im sure your still in the club, anyway once your in you can not leave,lol.

    Evening messies

    Thank you all for the hugs and advice re flat. Made the rent with 3 pennies over so really happy bunny.:j Head down trying to do it again this month plus make the tax repayment due at beginning of July.


    Only achieved having a shower, feeding and watering myself as I feel absolutely washed out still from the lurgy I had. Started on some vitamins etc that a knowledgeable friend sent me.

    Hope you are all having a good evening. Really admiring the baby steps and toddling going on out there.

    Fizz
