    I am feeling very tired now, when I got off the lappy earlier I had a quick cuppa and then made a start, I finally stopped at 2 for some lunch and I am now resting before leaving for work in an hour. I have put all my clothes, shoes and handbags away and found somewhere to put my toiletries temporarily. I also got all the linen and towels and have put them away and found an iron (not the one I was looking for) and have almost finished ironing the clothes that were washed before we left the old house. Just DHs shirts to do now, maybe he will start those tonight :D Our smallest spare room is almost empty now so I am aiming to have that organised by the end of the week and that will just leave one other bedroom to sort out.

    ....I'm all up to date with thread now! (And fairly crosseyed too....)

    I've done a lot of post holiday washing, and that's it.

    I've also been to the closing Habitat, and bought a pretty cakestand (DD's cupcakes deserve one) and four packs of pegs. Different colours, but co-ordinating.;):D

    Go Valli.

    I've done a HHweeding and now the idea of hoovering the stairs to avoid doing anymore is most appealing!

    My dodgy foot is playing up today and if I sit still for too long (ie 15 minutes it seizes up). Kids being treated at the icecream man for helping in the garden earlier.

    Afternoon to all :wave: Hugs and Sticks to those who need them

    I'm having a pretty good day today BD not to bad although I did manage to forget about my counselling session today and the counsellor was not too pleased when she phoned me :o she's decided we should leave it a few weeks as she doesn't know if I "really need to go"

    DD1 helped me with the kitchen while DD2 supposedly tidied her side of their bedroom :cool: I can't have them in there at the same time as they fight terribly :(


    If I've deleted it we've done it

    Monday ~ Kitchen and dining area
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Sweep and[/STRIKE] mop the floor
    Level Two
    Scrub the sink clean and polish up those tiled areas.. clean the gunky grout
    Level Three

    Extras

    Clean all the filters and door seals

    Sorted cupboard under stairs
    Sorted medicine cupboard
    Airing cupboard also sorted and towels and bedding put away
    1 x DW
    2 x WM have to put dressing gown back in as it smells of cheese!
    3rd load just gone in
    ½ on airer ½ in TD as it started to rain

    Dinner is in the SC (sauasage casserole) so only have potatoes to do so I think I'll make a start on the living room next and suggest DD1 starts on her side of the bedroom.
  • Im going for another HHC or two as I really want to get downstairs spotless before I start filing, although im thinking ive left it kinda late for filing so might leave that for tomorrow afternoon and do soemthing else froggy instead.
