    Right, a very late start for me today, as we went shopping at Mr Ts this morning. Started at the small one, and it didnt have half the stuff i needed, so we put what i had picked up back, and went to the big one instead!!!
    Luckily, i got all the washing up straight last night, so thats still drying on the airers, beds made, bathroom and toilets all cleaned so now im about to tackle the living room!!!! Its not too bad, but i still have a hot spot that needs sorting, so i think i will start there. Hopefully, it wont take too long!!!!

    Just a quick visit and update while I have lunch break! As I was so tired in the evening last week, I've decided to try and do as much as possible on Monday and Friday, and just dailies midweek.

    Very pleased with how good the house looked this morning!:D

    I have done: dailies (washing up, washing)
    the living room (which wasn't too bad anyway)
    dining room
    hoovered hallway, also stairs and landing

    I'm in the middle of hoovering the boys room, and will then do the bathroom.(And also make a casserole to cook on timer tomorrow)

    Had to take DS1 to have yellow fever immunisation, which is worrying me a bit, as he was very ill last year, and there is (admittedly a very tiny) risk of encepahalitis as a reaction. We'll know within the week if he is going to be alright.

    PS How do I do different colours please?

    Hope DS1 will be okay - am keeping fingers crossed for you.

    To do different colours got to the capital letter 'A' (between the font/sizes boxes and the smiley face). Left click on the downward arrow and you will get a pallet screen with different colours on it. Click on the one you want and then the typing will be that colour.

    Hope thats clear for you

    The planning inspector has been and gone and my floors are now filthy where they all traipsed through to see the view through DD's window. Please keep your fingers crossed for us that they reject next doors application. My whole way of life depends on this.
