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

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.
