    I must be psychic, I stripped my bed when I got up this morning :) Kids are still in bed, and I am off to clean the l/room windows which are looking decidedly streaky, then going for a HHC in my bedroom at 8.30 if anyone wants to join in!

    Morning all

    I have to be at the dentist by 9am - he wants to talk about the x-ray they did last time. Sounds like it could be expensive. I also need to check my work e-mails to decide if I'm going in today.

    Apart from the bedroom list I want to hoover the LR to keep it nice and deal with laundry, DW, kitchen bin and landings/stairs. DH will be in and out tonight (bowls match), so the kids and I can please ourselves for tea.

    Oh, and I might get round to making that cake. 'See' you all later for a HHC. Must get going. x

    Morning all!
    Bedroom had a hoover and tickled with the duster, will do bed on Saturday. Bathroom done yesterday as I had the steam cleaner out for the fridge! Will tidy the kitchen, have a quick hoover and get on with ironing as back at work tomorrow. Hopefully DS will be up earlyish, need to take him for something for his feet for this interview on Monday.
    Have a good day!
    RIP Iain

      Right, off to get some milton on my mattress and crack on! kitchen dailies are all done and a load of washing just about to go on. Weirdly I didn't have enough of either darks or lights for a full load yesterday so on top of the washing I am now - in 12 short hours my basket is now groaning as the older one had an accident last night too ......ho hum.............

    Would love to strip my bed but DS(13) climbed in this morning at 8 and crashed again! Loathe to move him as he didn't get back from the footie til gone half 12 this morning.

    Suppose I could tidy his room and strip his bed but that would be far too nice! So ironing it is..
