  • wont be around now till the end of the week, but will still be flying, just going to be offlist. thankfully mum will keep on top of the housework for me and gut the house :D

    house is presentable for her but needs a good hoover and floors going over, but other than that if i dont give her something to moan at she will find something to moan about so best of both worlds lol.
  • Well DH came home and said WOW to our lovely clean bedroom - it makes it all worthwhile when someone notices!:T
    Since posting earlier I have
    Put a load in the TD then folded it all
    Loaded DW
    S&S kitchen

    Thank goodness I'm not alone in that particular faux pas; for me, it was a fairly dimly lit Indian restaurant and a birds eye chili garnish:rotfl:

    Morning All

    Does anyone live near Selsey in West Sussex?

    Today I need to sort my training file out for Beavers before I go to my training session tonight so that'll probably take a while as I've got quite a bit to do. Other than that I want to make sure most of the downstairs is sorted before my mum comes to babysit tonight.

    Mumto5 - I'l send you a mask to wear - that'll keep the flu bugs away.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue

    DW loaded (will put it on when finished my tea), WM to empty. SC on with beef casserole for tomorrow. About to walk dog then head to Zumba. I can walk today which is an improvement on last week after LBT.

    Then a couple of hours of work before heading in to Oxfam. DH on call again today so I may or may not see him tonight. Sent him off with dinner just in case as he didn't get to eat at all on Sunday.

    Will do the rest of the flying tonight. There isn't too much left :j:j And the house looks great. A couple of hot spots to tackle later in the week and the entire place will have been blitzed in 2 weeks. What will I do with myself then?:rotfl:
