Morning! Got almost nothing done yesterday. I deflead the cat which was about it along with some general keeping up with the mess as it exploded behind my children : )
I was going to write the day off, but OH is going to have the children for the afternoon today...which gives me more than 6 hours to work on this stuff today. So it's an incredibly long list (hence a very long post - sorry), but I think a reasonable amount of it will get done, giving me less to catch up on tomorrow if that makes sense?
I've essentially moved onto level 3 for downstairs instead of level 2...particularly in lounge I was already doing level 2.
*mop and hoover as soon as I get downstairs this morning

Fritteredaway...when I moved into my first student house after halls, there was a really weird smell. It took a while to narrow it down to the fridge..the previous occupants had moved out more than a month before and switched off the fridge, in the height of summer, leaving a large pack of steak in the freezer. I can still smell that smell now, I don't think it quite left the place all year.0

Morning everyone, I'm up bright and early as my darling dog, Jet, decided it was fun to play ball with me. He wasn't taking no for an answer, even when I turned over and buried myself under the duvet. All he did then was jump up and down on the bed..!!! Why can't he be more like Scruffy, the other dog? It's too much for that dog to even wake up to go out in the garden first thing.. He's now snoozing away on the sofa!
Can I go back to bed for a couple of hours, I'm still tired..lol
aj hope you're mum is okay, hugs x
