    I thought the kids going back to school would give me more time but I have been rushed off my feet, the house does look a lot cleaner and tidier and I have managed to keep up this week... Long May it continue.

    List all complete; I've also done the CAMRA stuff for this week. Can't wait til the AGM on 30th, when I can tell them what they can do with it.:D Of course, I may get trampled in the rush of volunteers to take the task over.... I don't think.:D

    Got Dilly the Westie coming tomorrow for 10 days, so if I don't get online, have a good weekend all.
    Oh, and Hippo Bathday Greenbee:bdaycake:

    4 loads of washing done, lunch done, OH collected, beds made and massive list done for the weekend..:D

    Seems OH is heading to the airsoft shoot tomorrow so i'll get a full day at home..:j:j

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Hi I am a lurker who is feeling so inspired by you all for a clean house this year that I would love to join you and try to keep up! :)

    Hope you do join us. I've had a great first week. Normally I let things pile up until it gets so bad I have an exhausting mega clean & then tire myself out so much that I put off doing it again. But already finding that it is so much easier day by day, and house now looking great going into the weekend.

    Been doing errands including posting a e bay item which was on its last chance (I was going to keep it and use it LOL). Have loads to list, fortunatley I can relist my unsolds - especially as I now find I need a new fusebox as the sparky won't be happy that the house (1963) still has its original one! *roll eyes*. Shame I spent all that time teaching the Vallikids how to rewire pot fuses...however *puts Pollyanna head on in style of W. Gummidge* at least I can save money as buying new fuse wire was on my list and I don't think I'll bother now :rotfl:

    just checking FB back in a mo

    Look at this
    *glows with pride* - it's late because the site's new - DS was sub and look what he did - since then he has played most matches!


    Anyway

    Going food tasting in a bit - but the Valligirl's bed and my bed both need making...the Valligirl's on a sleepover straight from school and I have JUST realised I won't get her uniform washed - so may be popping over to pick it up!

    Glad I joined this thread as it keeps me on my toes. Today I have dusted/polished main bedroom, hall, stairs, landing, have vacuumed and swept through house and done the ironing. That's it, enough for me for one day.
    Spend less now, work less later.
