    Done my first hour in the kitchen/stripping bed/S&Sing - still loads to do.

    Shower next I think and I'll S&S the bathroom whilst up there and then another hour's flying before lunch.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm in again. I'm going to try to pace myself a bit more this week because I ran out of steam last week.

    However, as well as the kitchen I need to do the washing and part of my fridge cleaning will be using up any amnky fruit an veg.
