    Good morning all, hope you are all well x

    DD at home today, she's a bit better but I didn't want to risk the school phoning again, and they have swimming this afternoon, which I didn't want her to do today anyway.

    Have done very little today apart from get showered and feed me and DD.

    DDis still in bed so I have no excuses. Think I'll finish my cuppa and get on with the dailies at 11 and then have a look at what is left on my list. So HHC at 11???? Join me if you can......

    Thanks for the company!

    DS's room is dusted and his window cleaned so it's ready to vacuum. I have just popped down to zap a spud for lunch - three mins in the MW then finish off in the oven;)
    going to dust landing, make my bed and DD's (don't normally do theirs but I want to say upstairs is done;) - my room's fine as I did it at the wekend - then I shall vacuum all through upstairs and do the bathroom.

    So in my HH I
    dusted DS's room
    took the stuff to the compost and put caddy to soak (in rainwater from the butt)
    brought black bin in - smelled foul so flung a few gallons of rainwater in, swished it and it's now drying - it wasn't dried on stuff just 'bin juice' ewww
    started on a frog...

    Thank you Honey Bear
  • Morning all :)

    Well yesterday I blitzed the kitchen - that was awesome and actually kept it up today with a S&S :j I did not do any table related flying because that area's in the lounge and worth probably two whole other rooms LOL
    Had a mad min outside and sorted the garden furniture, raked the leaves and cleared chicken and dog poop :j
    Having to look after MiL's kitty as well so keep popping up there. That cat hates me!! Ahh well I'll keep trying to be friends. It actually purred at me before trying to bite me today??? Odd critter.

    So today's plan (as there is no airing cupboard and no kids rooms):
    Make bread.
    fetch DH early (YAY :) )
    remove everything from the table and at least sort it into piles that can go into the room they live in.
    Perhaps sort the laundry mountain in the spare room
    Change the bedding
    and if IF there's any time left I'll fettle some more chrimbo cards :)

    Hugs sticks and spoons all round.
    Need to go and make my yeast fizz before the water goes cold x
