Yeah swallowed a frog that has been lurking since I joined you here. My oven is now sparkling clean - It wasn't horrendous before but the door needed scrubbing and now I have done it I feel so good!!
I am trying to catch up on flying as I worked yesterday but am pleased so far today I have done 3 lots of washing 1 lot dry 1 lot drying on line and 3rd lot waiting to go on line. It is windy so I reckon by 2pm I can get it on line. I have blitzed kitchen and dining room and master bedroom is getting there.
I am working on frog list as I didn't log on till tuesday night so bit behind but I have been doing bits this week already - sent sponsor money off for race for life, sorted girls new gymnastics club out, and caught up on some emails that desparately needed doing.
Right off to do HHC - get master bedroom finished!!!!Thanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.
