master bedroom.this is the one ive been dreading,,,,,,,,,,,not even superman could do this room in one go ............... the beds already been done ,so the cobwebs and paintwork etc i can do ......hoover the floor..........
floordrobe was it called
the 5 fling will be turned into a bigger fling, had intended to do it anyway ,,,,,,,so tomorrow is Master Fling Day . i know i wont complete it , but ill have made a start,
to those who dont like nights in the house alone,,,,,,,,,,,my DH when working nights,,,,,and i was alone many nights, we live in a big old house ( but i love this house ) and when i was in bed at night , doors would creak , wind would blow , strange noises etc,,,,,,,,,,,,to some it would be scary,,,, i knew it was just the old house settling for the night ,,,,,,,,,, i used to think "it" was checking everything to make sure i was ok .
sounds daft i know ,but it used to make me feel safe, and not frightened,0 -
thought i'd get ahead and post my list now, as i know i won't want to get up in the morning and i have a meeting first thing! my room is still nice and tidy, seems v quick to wash bedding again but i'm gonna do it to keep it clean and fresh smelling!

i live on my own, just occasionally i get a bit scared (my letterbox rattles all night when it's windy :eek:) but i guess i'm quite used to it all now. occasionally i've had people ring the bell in the middle of the night (once or twice asking if i'm 'open for business':eek: - think perhaps someone who lived here before had an 'interesting' job....Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -

Hello Queenie! It's lovely to see you here. Just jump in. We are doing the master bedroom today
Morning all. Hope everyone's feeling ready for the day. It's lovely to see so many of you getting it, that now you really don't have to work so hard to keep it up. For the new arrivals please don't try to play catch up, you will only get tired and discouraged. Remember each room comes around again every week and you will get there soon. This is supposed to be giving you more freetime, not less of it by piling housework on your heads.Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

good luck queenie!0 -
