  • Good morning all,
    I never posted yesterday as I have decided that on a monday and a wednesday when I am working at night I am just going to do dailies and leave the lists until tuesday wednesday friday that seems to be what works best. Yesterday I only managed a washing, beds a quick tidy and to make cupcakes inbetween school runs and work.

    JoJo some cleaning companies will come in and do a one off deep clean for you maybe once its done you will feel better about the place and it will be easier to keep it nice a little bit at a time as you feel up to it.

    Jojo~ like greenbee says go for it, maybe as a one off, or for three months, till you are feeling better, also window cleaner go for that as well, I only have mine twice per year for the whole outside of the hosue, rest of the time, I do the outside downstairs myself. Lots of people need the extra work so remember to 'talk' prices / what they will do for that money, BEFORE they start.

    Floors done
    Hoovered round, plus the crumbs of the sofa, and noticed the sofa has a hole it in!! not happy.
    Bubble wrap got, to line the inside of the green house over the winter.
    One pair of new trousers off to work on me today!!

    Have a good day.

    Two questions - 1 - how long past it's best? (prices in shillings then yes :rotfl:

    2- Could you pass on out of date food colouring to a childminder/playgroup for PLAYDOUGH colouring ?
