    Want to do level 1 before my all day meeting, which I'm probably going to have to pop home at lunch from to sort dogs but that means clearing the worksurfaces before I can wipe them. I just can't seem to get to grips with keeping this tiny kitchen tidy. Next week I must clear through the boxes etc in the shed which is supposed to be my kitchen 'extension' so I can actually use it

    Washer, dryer already been on, on again. Washing won't stay on the line, just tried with the door mats but it's really windy here today
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    DW emptied and stuff put away, curtains opened, breakfast eaten. So didn't get everything done that I wanted. Need to try to do bits and pieces through the day and check my calendar to take some time out for a walk later.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    It's blowing a gale out there so been up since 6 cos of the racket and the Sky dish bashing about, it's already blown down once and went through the window a few weeks back :eek: council fixed it *coughs* :rotfl: but it's on a pole and certainly not stable.

    Done the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, umpteen brews made, WM about to go on, littley packed off to school. Got 7hrs at work today so doubt I'll do much when I get in but there's not much to do if I'm honest as the dailies are keeping everything ticking over :cool: will need to find summat for tea at the shops, no freezer so having to buy fresh.

    Laters x
  • Well ladies I am nowhere near flying and have been finding it quite difficault with work toddler and pregnancy so will probably not get going properly till maternity leave BUT I made a start on the kitchen last night and decided to tidy out a drawer. I am so pleased I did. I found the last lot of tesco vouchers which I hadnt put away totaling £25! and a clothes voucher for £25 from my birthday in March! :)

    Morning all

    Got a stinker of a headache and had some odd dreams last night, head still to full I think. I tried out my friend's kindle last night and I quite liked it. I'll try to find time later for another little go before I give it back.

    Going to start with HH on my dailies before the hairdresser comes. Plan is to concentrate on family room today and do all the hoovering/bashing in the LR to warm up if I get cold.
