    Love, hugs and spoons to those that need em.

    Happy Birthday Wendy Witch :D hope you have a nice day and get to do some relaxing :)

    Ive not done much with the list, had the docs this morning and 4 week fit note and refered back to phisio :( have left voicemail for work, but they havent phoned me back yet, am technically ment to be on bed rest for the next 4 weeks with no lifting or bending allowed :eek: which means i dont have a chance in hell of getting my house in order. Im thinking instead of paying my ironing lady, i might as well get a cleaner in for a couple of hours a fortnight to do the BIG jobs like changing the bed, and giving the "presentable" rooms a once over.

    Do you think 2 hours would be enough for the following:

    clean kitchen floors (laminate)
    clean living room and downstairs hall floor (laminate)
    hoover stairs and upstairs landing (carpet)
    bathroom & my bedroom floor (laminate)
    wipe round all skirting boards in living room, kitchen, hall, my room and bathroom
    strip and make my bed
    give the oven a once over
    clean the fridge and microwave
    clean the loo, shower and sink whilst giving the bath a quick dust
    dust living room fireplace and ornaments in hall
    wash windows inside if has time
    iron and put away clothes if has time to be alternated with washing windows?

    im thinking i could do all that bar the ironing as i hate it easily in 2 hours but i dont know if others could? downstairs is easy as there is no clutter, its just the babys room to be and the spare room that are the ones with clutter.

    happy Birthday wendy witch!

    Have taken advantage of the weather - girls bedding changed and in washer/on line - I HATE changing the high sleeper - but I have done it!

    Sorted a binbag of gibble from the dining room this morning - still looks like a pit - will do another binbag tomorrow!

    I missed the last so I with start HHC at 4.30pm

    I took my new oilcloth handbag out for the first time yesterday and the dye from my navy/white tshirt came off all over it especially inside the straps. I have tried washing up liquid, wash powder, stardrops, baby wipes, and elbow grease without success. Any ideas gratefully received.
