    Morning All :wave:

    Hope you are all well, welcome to the newbies, thanks to Pigpen/Toots for lists (not sure who is doing them atm) Hope your DS is ok now Pigpen, I never got a chance to come on thread at the weekend, I was busy busy busy - done DS room, took me all of 1 x HHC, totally gutted DD’s room all wardrobes, cupboards drawers etc cleared out….took me over 6 hours. It was badly needing done and should be easier to keep on top of now. Will try my room this weekend. For now I will just be doing what I can when I get in from work at night.

    Lots more stuff in the attic, and the bathroom has been s+s'd.

    I'm going to need to pop to the shop at some point as DD needs a new tracksuit and some white t-shirts for school.

    Another quick cuppa now and then off to work....how did you get on iamsalt?

    Toochoosey - well that was excellent. I have removed cobwebs from the downstairs - spiders were threatening to take over the house, washed the front door where muddy paw prints have been for far too long, stripped all the sofa cushions and throws and they are merrily spinning in the WM, oh and wiped down the bannister - didn't realise how bad it was :o white gloss paint does not mix with small children and pets, but at least it cleans off nicely.

    Popping into town myself later, and joining you in a cuppa now xx

    Prepare dinner
    [STRIKE]Do some work[/STRIKE][/QUOTE]

    Need to do living room stuff while DD has lunch. No point tidying unless shes strapped in the seat so she can't untidy stuff. Always leave hoovering until she's eaten too so I don't have to do it twice! After her lunch she goes straight to bed for a nap so the house actually stays nice for all of an hour!:j

    Made a very nice birthday card for my dad using a photo of DD I printed out on card we already had. Recycled an envelope to send it in and used stamps I already had. Very MSE!:money:
