lol, was just thinking that. :wave: to FFP

I have spent another glorious afternoon/evening in the garden reading a book. My calves are almost brown and I dont achieve that when I go abroad!

I need to do a quick 15 mins in the kitchen. Mysteriously it is untidy and littered with dirty dishes. I wonder where they came from....

Off to S&S the bathroom whilst running a bath for DS3

reporting back on my double HHCs -most flying jobs done!! hurrah!!!

particularly pleased to declutter some knitting gibble that had accumulated on the shelf above the telly. I've also cleaned and decluttered the parcel shelf in the pram which was pretty bad. Managed to put felt castors on the sofa (I'd found them in the loft on saturday where they had been lost for 6 months) and also nailed in the felt pads on the dining table - from the same lost diy consignment:D

Have also soaked in vanish oxi and handwashed Emmy's party top she wore to the royal wedding celebration at nursery last thursday, and which came back a nice shade of dirt - back to white now - yippee.

I love these lists, but I do feel that having a largish house its a real PITA to stay on top of (I realise I'm very lucky to have it though of course - I'm not moaning!) - for example todays list - wiping woodwork in my hallway, coat cupboard, front room and living room would have taken about 45 minutes! So I've just done bits in the living room. When I lived in a 2-up 2-down it would have only taken 5 mins to have it all done Anyway I'm not cleaning the front room until I've finished Operation ginormous quilt as all the fabric cutting is just making dust:D

Off to look for frocks now.....

Well, sitting room done - most of it, I'm waiting for some storage boxes to arrive for my fabric stash so it can be sorted and stacked neatly rather than sprawling over a sofa. There is literally nowhere else for it to go until then. So am sat on other sofa watching snooker and mending OH's rugby splash top as he's managed to rip the seam right down one side. It's only just salvageable, but they are about £60 new, so salvaged it will be!
