    have managed to fritter most of today away talking to people and not getting much done - cholaholc110 glad its not just me today.

    ladygrim thank you enjoyed your post most welcome after a day spent cleaning the cooker.

    Tomorrows list will be a short one for me as i am working in the morning, then girls then have swimming lessons and we don't get home to after five as as i am not used to leaving at 8.30 and returning at 5 I don't expect a successful day. Very much in awe of everyone here who does this everyday.

    to do -
    1. Moggins list
    2.WM
    3.DW
    4.tackle ironing hotspot

    Howdy folks :)

    Well, not the most successful day in my own house today, but hey..

    WM cleaned and run through on a 95deg wash with soda crystals and vinegar.
    WM Tray taken out and cleaned (I've been putting this off for ... forever!)
    DW filter cleaned and washed on hot wash with vinegar.
    WM x 1 (must go hang it out in a while)
    TD x 1
    Pancakes x loads :j
    Bathroom taps (sink and bath) soaking in vinegar
    Loo cleaned (but will do "properly" tomorrow).

    My ma's house:
    Load of paperwork sorted, shredded
    Several boxes sorted
    Loads chucked out
    Some stuff removed for either charity / freecycle or eBay.

    Tomorrow, DD is at nursery and I have the day off .... so I think I will attempt:

    Moggins list
    Greenhouse emptied of broken glass (lovely children found "sport" in throwing bricks :( ).
    Bulbs which are sprouting ... planted :eek:
