    I have cleared Ds2's windowsill and sorted through the books Ds1 gave him into keep, ebay and charity shop.

    I'm going to go for another HH before they get home.

    DD with a bit of coaching has now dusted using the vacuum (yes it was that bad :o - not got used to the amount of dust having CH creates, I'd forgotten that downside :o) and is polishing. She's cleaned the inside of her bedroom window (after using babywipes on it yesterday while the sun was shining on it :eek: was my reaction!) and I've done the outside. I've dealt with the winter curtains I took down at the beginning of April, they're all de-pinned (safety pinned up as they were too long with the radiators) and now waiting to go in the WM after the door curtain thats in there has finished.

    I'm going to go and confiscate the polish I think...as I'm starting to smell it down here :mad: Next job, water some of the garden, do some more dishes, and then the livingroom list :rotfl:

    DD1 is tidying her room!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So far we have 7 forks, 2 bowls, 1 plate and a spoon!

    Must be something in the air as DD has done hers as well and half filled the DW:eek: with the glasses, cups and plates she had up there.

    DONE:j


    Ive also done a HHG as one of the rose bushers needed digging up as it was falling over after the recent winds.
    The downstairs windows have been cleaned as well as the back and front door.
    After getting showered I decide that the bathroom could do with a proper clean as DD had been making a HM body scrub.

    Dogbot went missing earlier as he escaped from the front garden but thank god he was found safe and well wondering around the nature reserve/field behind the houses at the bottom of the close.

    just had a lush day out picnic in the park and decluttered a bit of money on some more origins moisturiser. I did get some free samples too though.... Also managed to get dd a cardi for her bridesmaid outfit and a shirt and trousers for joseph from Gap - so a successful mission accomplished! I had a quick scout round johnny loo-loos for a dress for me - but I am certainly not paying £120 for the only one I liked! GOing to have a bit of a trawl on Eb@y while I'm feeding the boy to sleep tonight as I haven't got another day to go to the shops.

    Right, I'm going to attempt spaghetti carbonara tonight for the first time, with a salad, then have a go at the list in a bit - squids are on the sofa with toy story so I have got half an hour or so in theory.........
