    That made me laugh :rotfl:

    I've been up a while already and wiped down all the sofas and scribbed the doors in the living room including the patio doors. All the stubborn marks came off fairly easily with a bit of Cif :j

    Had breakfast & coffee and now getting ready to go to the hairdressers. Shall be back for more cleaning after 10am. Happy flying all... :T

    As usual I'm feeling rather depressed that I have 3 bathrooms to clean :(

    I know that feeling and i only have two!! If i keep up with my swish & swiping it usually helps, because i then will only do a 'big' clean every other week. The toilets just get bleach thrown at them every now and again until the big clean.

    Bathrooms are my LEAST favourite ever!! I would gladly do piles and piles of ironing over doing the bathrooms. And frequently do just that as a sly method of productive procrastination. :rotfl:

    I have almost finished the living room bar the cupboard tidy. These are pretty much tidy though, so i will have a look to see if i can do one and if not it will get crossed off. Or i might actually do a cupboard in another room instead.

    Still not got organised to go anywhere yet. I need to get in the shower. I can tell it's going to be a warm one cause i feel all clammy. Nice. Ha!

  • Good morning,

    Juliejimgood luck with your interview.

    The kids are still sleeping OH took them to the park last night when I was at work and has obviously well and truly tired them out. I have had a coffee and breakfast in peace and quiet.

    The plan is to go get a loaf of bread on and maybe some rolls. Start on bathroom then take kids to active sports after lunch then shopping and come back and sort washing and anything else that needs done.

    Take care everybody.
