Hmmmmmmmmmm not so bad. The house doesnt look too bad either. I also cleared up the garden today (one dog has been very sick; serves her right for raiding the bin), done a fortnight's shopping, put all tempting treat stuff away in a very high cupboard, done the banking.

Quick pootle on the forum and then start the ironing.........

Happy Birthday, Kazwookie and Miss A!

I had a quick look back and updated my list. LR is looking nice, kitchen clean and tidy again (well, at least the bits which were clean and tidy before...:o).

WM x1 finished, DW loaded, both DSs have stripped beds. I'm going to put TD and WM on before heading off into town. Ooops, budget first - otherwise I won't dare to buy anything.

Back later.

Dusty - no problem. FB is fine.

Just been for a nice walk into town for lunch with DH. Before we went I vacuumed upstairs, finished tidying up there and sorted some vacuum bags so upstairs is nice and tidy. Need to do downstairs but giving my back a nice rest for now.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, love the cake dusty

Spent the day cleaning, boy did the house need it, but it is spotless, dinenr is cooking inthe oven, late christmas lunch / birthday dinner.

Ironing done as well

Going to chill for a bit, then I might hoover my car out.!!

Doing the vacuuming in stages as my back can't cope with doing it in one go anymore. I used to like having a house I could vacuum in 30 minutes I like the fact we aren't so cluttered now though and we don't have to vacuum most rooms often as the are not used it is just cos we have guests coming that I am doing it.

happy Birthday Kazwookie and MissA!! I hope you both have lovely days.

I have not been able to manage flying because the cold in the house is seizing up my fingers, hips etc. but I have had two successful days out freegling and freecycling. I decluttered a lot of single bedding and collected some useful files. I also managed to get a lovely pram for DD and DSIL.

DH and DS2 are cutting and chopping wood so we can be toasty warm in the lounge. The rest of the house will have to wait until the weather improves, bbrr!

:bdaycake:Happy Birthday to all who had one this week!

I didn't have such a good week flying this week and got behind a bit but all caught up with today so really happy :j:j:j

It really is making such a difference to how I am feeling at the moment, I don't come home and think :eek: any more and I am not embarrassed to let people in the house now :D:D

Hopefully I can keep up a bit better next week so it will all be a bit easier!

ajmoney

Nearly there :j but the house is ready for our visitors so that is all that matters.
