    Back from the dentist and side-tracked for a bit by the caravan thread while I had my second cuppa. Time for a HHC from 10.00, if anyone would like to join me. I'll start with the dailies (laundry, DW, DS2's breakfast etc).
    Hurrah, I'm not alone.

    Off I go!

    Morning all, been busy here yesterday so didn't get a chance to get on. Hubby dropped his iphone yesterday and the whole screen is cracked, so new phone coming today and i'm to wait in for it while he goes to an appointment.

    Raining here so fire has been lit and i plan on doing bits and pieces in all rooms, our room is fine and bedding only changed on monday so i'll leave it to the weekend. :D

    Right cuppa and i'll make a start....
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    I haven't sorted a list but did manage to do a fair bit of the kitchen on Monday (though the floor needs sweeping again and mopping!). Will try and do some of the bedroom today, it's a tip :(

    Ugh I hate living in a mess! I seem to wash up about 6 times a day at the moment too!

    Sightly early finish.....back twanged, not badly, but enough to pause to go again after a cuppa.

    Got hall DONE a wash of thngs that will hang inside easily on, other washes sorted. Mattress in a spare room turned. Rubbish out of kitchen. Hall, sitting room, dining room are all ok if someone unexpected turns up.

    Next run must be dog bedroom.....and my kitchen.
