    All done so far this week except kettle and hoovering mattress. Tomorrow I am home with the toddlers, if it's warmer we'll go in the conservatory to play I think and I might have a sort of some toys to take to church playgroup...
    Still not ironing though, I only have half a dozen items as I've been hanging straight from the spin cycle when they are steaming hot, really cuts down on creasing!

    Happy Birthday Vanilla

    Hope you had a lovely day yesterday Dusty

    We had a busy evening after DS1 admitted he had dropped my phone in the (full) toilet. Cue a mad search for the stupid tool to get the sim card out. Trashed the whole house. Took till 11pm to put most of it back :cool: Phone is in rice bag in the hope I can recover some data and photos. No insurance, but happily out of contract so easy enough to resolve.

    Long term readers may remember that this is the second time an iphone has been accidentally dropped in a loo in this house - at least it wasn't me this time :o

    Oh dear poor iphone.

    Well a little bit longer than HHC and I managed

    shopping put away
    1 x washed pots put away
    6 x dining chairs cleared of gibble
    1 V large dining table cleared of gibble
    Said gibble HOMED and not just moved!!:eek::eek:
    1 x washing up
    6 finished cross stitch pictures put in bucket to soak
    Half of kitchen hoovered
    V large dining table polished and runner put back straight

    Kettle just boiled so off for a cuppa before another set to at 4pmish.

    Although my house is a tip and is getting a good declutter and clean this half term I really should be concentrating my 9 x learning journeys that are already overdue to parents:(, but have a really really bad case of CBA.

    poor smellyphone

    good luck with learning journeys, I CBA to do some key things either but I going to make myself now, starting with sorting my no claims certificate. I might even walk the hoover round.

    ETA Thanks Dusty, switched it off at the time, wiped it and then straight in the bag of rice in the airing cupboard. Rescued the last one that way although it was never quite the same. Just want the photos - haven't backed it up for months stupidly.
