- Hoover the living room, hall and stairs (could be fun, one of our spaniels is terrified of the hoover, usually have to wait until OH is around to take the dogs out!)
- remove dog covers from sofas, plump up sofa cushions, hoover out and replace.
- declutter the coffee table and the side table next to my sofa
- quick swish around with the duster

All done I'm trying to keep to no more than an hour a day, and that lot took me an hour and four minutes. I would have been faster if it hadn't been for the sofas which were a bit :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: They didn't look too bad until I realised that the loose covers under the cushions were tucked in down the side of the frame and when I pulled those out three years of sand, dirt, bits of food and dog hair came out along with them :o:o

Junior Dog is now traumatised and calling me all sorts of names, but has had a big cuddle and has just about stopped shaking, bless him.

PS: Why do men like these black glass TV stands?? Especially when there are two hairy dogs and an open fire in the same room!!

woodwork washed in LR:j
WM loaded:j
bread rising, should be ready for the oven when I finish work:j

looking good here Flyladies, still blowing a gale and now chucking it down, but it will save watering the garden later.:beer:

Anyone heard from Vanilla? hope everything there is OK

Because they don't clean them!!!!!!


Tesco delivered.. the whole shop!!!

Meatballs for dinner again.. we only had them the other day but I forgot to put the gammon in so having to do that in Wednesday and hope it hasn't grown legs by then.. though I may cook it tomorrow with the lump of pig and slice it cold as it is going with salad.

could I have reminders about noone to get them in the SC though please.. my new car seat is coming tomorrow and I will probably be too excited to remember!

Washing on line got drenched but is now almost dry again.. so can stay out a bit longer while I get the dry stuff folded and empty the TD.

Squeak fed..

Bought dinner for tonight. Managed to not buy the dinner service I have my eye on in M&S, but did buy new alarm clock.

Then braved the £land and bought a few bits in there - microfibre cloths and the like, handed in a pair of glasses that someone had taken off and forgot to put back on :eek at the counter, then spent loads on a couple of suitably Gothy T shirts for Minion's upcoming 12th birthday.

Then got caught at the market by the plant stalls - fatal, but I got 3 large red begonias - like the ones you get in France - for £3 as it was near the end of the day They are now sitting in a tray of water which idiot splat has decided is his new water receptacle.

Only had time to whisk around collecting gibble from the LR, as spent rest of time squishing blackfly on the nasturtiums, relocating ladybords onto the roses and trying to work put what to do with a veggie patch overflowing with Mizuna.

I hear it's good stir fried, but how/what with? And could I freeze some of it somehow?



Will tell minion to either do her room or vacuum downstairs today, I think.

We did this at the weekend so I am ahead! I also cleaned the bathroom today and the tiles behind the cooker. Bicarbonate of soda and OH's elbow grease worked a treat.

Does anyone know if you can clean the dishwasher with soda crystals and if so where do you put it. I can't afford to buy the brand cleaner this week.

Thanks

Gintot

Weirdo lol only joking, but out of interest, why?

Because it suited us;) At the time we both worked in pubs/clubs/restaurants and so did most of our friends so a weekend was no good for getting time off.

Monday ~ Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
Vacuum floors and sofas Done by Mr LW:A

Level 2
Dusting, even if around everything Done
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe All clutter safely put away; also revamped the Receipts file, as I wasn't entirely satisfied with how I'd got it, and it was something I could do sitting on the floor with Candy

Clean mirrors and other glass things that are meant to be shiny! S*d it, I'll do this when I get the glass cleaner out to do the patio door (after Candy goes home)
