LW - it sounds like you need a cuddle and a game with Ted, not to clean out a cupboard.

My house is spotless in 4 hours a very nice lady has done what normally takes me all week... Wich means if I do feel like flying I can do the niggly bits like emptying the bookcases and outing stuff back in tidily. She doesn't have a regular free slot but is going to let me know whenever she has a cancellation and fit me in those!

As it is sunny I'm making an executive decision to postoone work till later and go out and pick windfall apples and then have a rest in the garden.

Back from work now and picked up the little ones from MIL. My SIL was there and she was very happy as her little one has been discharged from the burns unit. She is taking DS2 back with her until Thursday so my house is rather quiet now.

DS1 has texted DH and has informed him he has been taught to make fishcakes - I am liking this job very much!!!

DD1 is round the boyfriend's. He has lost another job and I have warned her under pain of death not to fund his lifestyle. I think she is beginning to see the light. She is working very hard at the airport and does long difficult hours. He sits at home playing on the PS3 and she is not finding it endearing.

Half an hour until I have to take DS3 to his swimming lesson - I need to find my bank card as it wasn't in my purse when I went to Tesco.

Sticks for the BD's.

Greenbee I am very jealous of your nice lady!

I'm in, thank you FCC

Hope everyone is feeling well.

So far I have
4 x WM all on whirley, cleaned LR windows in & out, washed LR voiles & replaced, wash 1 throw, dusted tv stand.
Also took DS2 for a haircut.

Healing vibes are on way to LL
AJ & holly Glad your moves went ok in the end.

ive had a busy morning and also decluttered an hour and a bits kip. seriously this baby is getting me used to being sleep depreived and up through the night and sleeping through the day far to early for my liking. i thought it kicked in later in pregnany not in the middle of it!

I dont have a busy week with apts thankfully, but i DO want to get my house sorted as im fed up of all the clutter in the spare room that still needs sorting.

Question: i have lots of cleaning products would they be ok stored in the outhouse? kinda planning to use one of the outhouses like a larder - will eventually get it fully plastered/skimmed or whatever its called and have shelves all up in it so i can have a store cupboard like those on the extreme couponing shows. I seriously wish we had that kinda system here as its AMAZING what they do.

list still stands as it was last night, so going to go and get a load of washing in, whizz round the ktichen and the living room and bring the shopping in from the car and put it away. then the plan is to catch up on ALL the filing in my bedroom with a dvd on so thats at least one thing crossed off my frog list.

We're trying to join in here, childcare this week has unravelled so I'm flying & trying to do interesting things with an 8 year-old with odd interests, and have a couple of very important meetings (DS has playdates whilst the're on but I have to prep.).

litterpicked the church layby (stopped counting at 250 items, but looks loads better now and much safer for the wildlife)
4 lots of washing nearly dried
plans for the week agreed (and behaviour agreement)
picked some blackberries (going back for more)
located a couple of apple trees and checked how near ripe they are
started the still have to get for school list (not too bad)

It very clearly pays to get a professional in She is cheaper than the local lady I used to use (cheaper than she WAS and that was about 5 years ago) and significantly better. hopefully I can now maintain the standard...

Windfall apples picked... Sweet peas next. Work can wait until the sun has gone in...
