Living room looking good. Hope it stops that way as I have friends coming round on Thursday night.
The joiner is coming in the morning to measure up for the flooring. The only thing Im not looking forward to with that is clearing the room. Grandsons can come up and remove the carpet.
Dailies done
Towels in washer.

Electrician is working on the bathroom (was hoping he'd be finished by the time I got back...), so the contents of the airing cupboard is in my bedroom and the airing cupboard, and the bathroom is frankly grim...
So have to plan to get stuff sorted out...-
Work on presentations tonight (sort images in case I have no network access in the morning)
Put away clean laundry on bed and make bed before going to sleep
Work on presentations in the morning and prep for governors' meeting
Work calls in the afternoon
S&S downstairs tomorrow after work
Governors' meeting tomorrow night
Office on Thursday
Work on presentations Thursday night
Ignore work on Friday and do cleaning... Bathroom and spare room need to be ready for my dad staying
Farm shop Friday or Saturday
Garden on Saturday morning - keep currently tidy stuff tidy and make more progress on the rest
Also need to find time to make scones and cake for Saturday tea time....
If I can get the house and garden back under control by the end of the weekend I'll be VERY happy0 -
swept the girls bed so they are not full of rubble for sleeping in tonight....
I read that as 'swept the girls to bed'.
That's the sort of decluttering I approve of!I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -

Oh, juliejim, sorry to hear that.I've been there myself - and OH was made redundant twice in 7 months in 2009. Will you get gardening leave or a redundancy package to give you a bit of breathing space at all?
