    Now have decently clean bathroom and ensuite, loos both thoroughly bleached. Can't vacuum until I have taken the dyson appart and decided if it is terminal or not. May need to look into a replacement.

    Spent most of the day scurrying round sorting stuff, so the bedrooms will have to wait.

    Hugs to those in need - the thread runs too fast for me to keep up at the moment and ?I'm a bit out of touch with you all.

    My room is looking beautiful
    DD's room is looking better than it has for a long time and smells better too. Don't think the widows get opened in there very often. Why do some teenages like to stew in their own filth ( or perhaps it is just mine). More things for the CS. Going to wait till I have a car boot full to save on fuel but at this rate it will only be next week.
    Even managed to walk the dog to PO to post my ebay items from last weeks sort out. Getting there I feel so hopefully will be more on top of things in future:T

    What i've got done
    brought in the washing
    washed my trainers
    washed DD's bedding
    got the picnic stuff out
    sorted the school uniforms
    sorted money for the school
    washed Rhys bottles
    packed nappy bag
    sorted and cleaned out my handbag
    bleached the sink
    put recycling out

    Kids have tidied there rooms and emptied their school bags, they can go in the wash next. I'm gonna go and get Rhys's clothes sorted and packed and then work my way round everyone else.
    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.

  • :eek::eek::eek: MiL has decreed a Royal Visit TOMORROW!:eek::eek::eek:
    Bang goes the rest of my evening and the plans for a ride out tomorrow.

    This is gonna be a laugh a min as DH has had some pea shingle delivered and there are ghostly foot and paw prints everywhere including on the sofa.
    Back garden looking better but the rest of my night will be lugging shingle and then clean clean clean!

    Bless the fly lady thread. It aint too bad in here. But I was hoping to string out the last of the cleaning till Beltane. (Mind you at this rate I'll be still meaning to hoover the stairs at Yule!)
    Right, Pass the shovel, I'm into the shingle. Because it sure as hell aint worth dusting or hoovering until it's all done... then I'm gonna water it in to try and avoid more dust :o well I can hope ;)

    No, I don't think it's just yours!! I despair everytime I go anywhere near DD's room. I don't feel i can say a lot 'cos she has been working so hard on her coursework (was in school in the first week of the hols) and she has exams in a few weeks. She will hear all about it when she has finished though!
