    Morning all!
    Not following lists this week, as just back from holiday, and new kitchen and bathroom being fitted this week!
    So far, 4 loads of washing on whirly, ironing basket emptied and waiting for washing to dry, and multiple bags of assorted carp from kitchen and bathroom decluttered outside for binmen to collect! Bathroom fitter currently stripping out bathroom, water is off so just been to neighbours to use the loo!!! House is a midden, but was like one when we got back on Saturday night, DD is in the doghouse, not even a slice of bread in the house for us, thought they got better when adults instead of worse!!!
    RIP Iain

    toochoosey hope your feeling better soon.
    pigpen yeaaaa for plasterer.

    Not long back from the shop's but we did get DS1 his trainers and 2 of the jackets in a bag things so all got thats needed. Still need to go do a food shop later i think DD is coming with me, hubby can mind the boys. :D

    So lunch on and then Rhys can go for a snooze, boys can tidy their room, i'll sort the washing and hubby can see the HTT. Then i'll go and get the food shop, wash car and then clean it out when i get back. It's :eek:.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Hiya all, I totally went off track the last couple of weeks, so, after spending thursday and friday madly dashing round getting the house 'visitor proof' for visitors on saturday I was determined to keep on top, and I'm elated to say:[STRIKE]
    Monday ~ Living room, hall and Stairs
    [/STRIKE] DONE!!

    I'm done :T

    Now I'm taking little one to the shop for an ice pop and picking some bits up, then to do:

    Clean out the litter tray
    Hoover the kitchen, utility room and bathroom
    Wash up
    S&S of kitchen
    Bung some bleach down the loo
