    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.

    am slowly checking things off my list, though hada busy-ish morning at work. friend came over to have a work meeting and was impressed with the cleanliness and tidiness of the flat - i told her about this thread and she was really excited and is going to look us up - at least to get the lists, even if she doesn't post!

    going out for coffee (might have to be cake too, as not managed lunch)! working again later this aft & evening, hopefully will get all my bitty jobs done :)

    Very jealous to all who woke to snow, we just had a heavy frost but with the possibility of some at the weekend I bought more sledges and the last two broke in the snow last month, so fingers crossed, the kids finish today for half term so snow would help to entertain them.

    Anyway away to tackle the dining room.
