    Good morning :D

    Just had a sit down with cuppa. Today we (DH & I) have taken kids to school, walked the dog, cleared off the dog cage (had a lot on it!), collapsed cage & put in garden, cleared off fridge and moved it along (to make room for manouevre when shed comes - they have to come through the house), swept up debris, cleaned down wall and cleared the way (kitchen & patio) for said delivery :j They said between 10 and 12, so we are waiting now.

    I think I will go and de-gunge the top of the fridge now (it is a big side-by-side fridge, and I - being short- can't see the top). We have boxes stacked on top, to try and discourage the cat sleeping on it (hairs float in the fridge otherwise, and sometimes she is sick :(:eek:)

    I will update the lists aswell, and need to get on the Tesco voucher site urgently.
    Off I go then.....

    yippee, house is decluttered to a basic level, tidied and everything that has a home is rehomed (not including front room or loft in this description as they are Special Cases :D) It is still filthy, but I'm having a sit down, a cuppa and decluttering some homemade gingerbread which is blowing my head off before doing a bit of work. I'm leaving the cleaning bit till this afternoon.

    2xWM done, utility cleared, kitchen S&S, and currently playing the hokeycokey with the washing stand on the patio.

    I've got a HHBike to my friends house this afternoon - I don't want to go and I'm probably going to get wet, but it will still be quicker than the bus and is at least a bit of exercise. This morning DH let slip that I'm not as "toned" as I used to be....... well I was 24 when he met me and I've since had 2 of his children. I'm a size 10 and pretty fit and I still wear most of my pre-pregnancy clothes. I think he's got a bloomin cheek.

    Morning all

    I've done the bathroom/toilet and polished and dusted the living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs. Washed the kitchen floor. One load of washing done and dried - just grabbed it before the rain. That's all put away now.

    Hope you have a good holiday LW and can relax once you get there safely.

    :wave:Dusty, embb, toots, Lady L (and Soappie if you're watching).
