    I've got the washing in, most of it dry but a few things draped on the radiators ready for when the heating comes on later. Although the sun is still out it's not down in the back garden now and it's feeling quite cold out there.

    I folded the washing while I was outside rather than bringing it in and doing it on the kitchen table - does that count as doing something in a different way? ;):)

  • Hi All

    Much of the day has been spent undoing, and re-knitting a shrug that I made a mistake on yesterday. It's quite something when household chores are your 'treat' to get away from the knitting!!

    Not too much done today, though if the hoovering isn't done this evening, it'll get done tomorrow.

    Tuesday - Living Room, Hall and Stairs, downstair loo
    [STRIKE]Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe [/STRIKE] [STRIKE]
    Clean the downstairs loo and basin
    [/STRIKE] Declutter Mission:
    [STRIKE]Sort through all the DVDs, games, CDs etc and see which can be rehomed or sold. Check all the right discs are in their cases. Dust the area and replace them all.
    [/STRIKE]
    Winter challenge: reaching for the matches to light my candle as I type...well, not literally as I type as that's just foolish...but very soon after.
