    Sounds like a bit of a stressy few days - half term will be good for recharging your batteries. I know I've been counting down the seconds myself.

    Morning all, a pretty good night sleep, didn't get much done last night, one load of washing and the dishwasher emptied and refilled but that was about all. Today is operation housework day, I want to get the flat sorted today so I'm not having to do it all week. Ds is fine with having a lazy indoor day today, he's found a new route planner on the bus website and wants to make up his own routes and write them down :D

    We'll probably do some baking later too once the place is looking presentable. I would like to get some more bits on ebay this weekend too as its a free listing weekend, just need to find some bits to sell first :) The bits I have on there currently have 9 watchers in total but no bids as yet.

    Having quite a productive day so far;
    • Ds bedroom has been blitzed; every cupboard / drawer / box etc has been sorted, tidied and put away. Room all cleaned and hoovered, all nice and shiny again :)
    • Bathroom has been thoroughly cleaned, all nice and shiny again :)
    • Washing machine doesn't know whats hit it, its on its fourth lot and the pile on the kitchen floor is still huge ;)
    • Lounge is tidy, about to be cleaned
    • My bedrroom is tidy, bed has been stripped, washing drying everywhere
    • Kitchen is tidy and would look presentable if it wasn't for the washing mountain on the floor :o
    • 2 bin bags of rubbish filled, a few bits and pieces for ebay found but nothing major, although I will find it easier to go round and hunt for things once everywhere is tidy
    Mum has taken ds to the beach with her and the dog as the sun is out this afternoon; I'm using the time to get as much done as possible while he's out. Still no bids on ebay items :o

    Pretty good day in the end;

    Managed 7 loads of washing :eek: Still got a couple more to go, really don't know how 2 of us make so much washing :o

    Kitchen is now clean and sparkly too, lounge just needs a quick dust and hoover in the moring, as does my room. Its lovely getting in to a newly clean bed, if I won the lottery I'd pay for someone to change the sheets every day :D

    Saying that, I have managed to find a few bits after all for ebay so will be getting them on there in a bit. Tomorrow will probably involve an ironing mountain, a trip to Hobbycraft to look for a nice album to put Dads stuff in, finish off the housework and not sure what else yet :)
