    LR tidied and hoovered, and I had time left to wipe fireplace and mantel. Having a cuppa now before my next HHC at 11.20 - stairs and kitchen/BR bins (so I can cross two more things off the list and because they need doing).

    DS2 is happily colouring after a near meltdown when he realised that his friend next door is still at school all week.

    Think all the books are back on the shelf for now!

    Also found part of the floor
    Brought down all the washing from W's floordrobe
    Pegged out bedding ont he line and refilled WM

    Spoken to guys in the garden behind ours, they are taking down the hawthorn trees and some large bits have fallen into our garden. They assure me they will tidy it all up, I am keeping an eye on them ;) I can't understand why they haven't removed the hawthorn before now, it is vile stuff and they have young children as well. Well at least I won't have to worry about trying to reach up to lop back all that is overhanging our side.

    Anyone joining me at 11.45? I shall crack on now but feel free to catch up :)
