I've got a kitchen diner, so the dining room bit got done yesterday. I've dusted and vacuumed the hall - and the living room and the kitchen (after having hair cut).
Shopping's been delivered and all put away.
One load of washing done, hung round the radiators because it's too cold and frosty out.
Nearly time to start cooking lunch, potatoes already prepared.0 -
