Level Two
Wipe table replacing cloth if necessary..

It's taking time... But the kitchen at least is showing the benefit. The junk on the table is the biggest challenge

Thanks valli and embb xx I am slowly learning that they are not going to be cheap anywhere!!!
I have looked at the next ones and they are very nice but thinking that a backpack type one would be better so we can use it for walking/ bikeriding at the van xx

just a bit fed up with the state of the house. Plus I picked up my prescription this morning, so now I've been told when and how to take the pills I don't have any excuse not to. Three months of nasty pills, then hopefully the next biopsy will show that everything is fine.

Kazw - I think your adopted grandson wants to make sure he's not going to have to share you...:p

Triker - might have known you'd have the answer to a shopping question;)... Ever thought of making it into a career?

ETA ... Far too many professionals on this thread now... Embb, then jinky and now Jen... It's a worrying trend!

Windows are nearly done, so from the outside things are looking ok (grass could do with mowing). Fingers crossed windows will be done tomorrow, and I may negotiate for some other work to be done by the same guy as they look very good and there hasn't been too much mess. Hopefully the inside will soon be looking as good

Hmmm....I had great ambitions this morning, but I haven't finished again! But then again this thread has made me do hoovering in the evening, which I always end up leaving 'til the weekend! :T

2. Scrub sink and shine the taps!

Right I'm going to go and do the "the general messiness cupboard", but I fear it may currently be used as the replacement "man drawer" which means I wont be making any headway with that!

Wouldn't mind , but then I'd rather push peas through mud with my nose than keep doing what I'm doing at the mo.:cool:

Today I have been mainly very, very angry and ranting at various people.

I have a Plan B.

Just brought the stinky bin in, slightly fewer maggots than this morning, which is nice.

Just go to Amazon uk and type picnic basket in search, the debs one is literally a basket and maybe not so good.

They had some great ones in TJ Hughes last week but with the sad news they are going into adnministration I'm not sure they are still trading at the mo. They were about £15...ish.
