    Instead of DH hammering and banging in the bathroom I have.. one guy in there banging away (smutty thought there!) and another outside playing on my poo pipe... PMSL... ok.. one if fixing plasterboard to the walls and the other is replacing the stench pipe... in either case I have 2 people hammering away in my head!!! I think I may have to go to shop!!

    LO colouring in the front room, she is lost without the others here to play with.

    Living Room, Hallway, don't have Stairs and Landing.

    1. Declutter and tidy- done
    2. Hoover and dust
    3. Swish away any cobwebs-there was none or bf does it cos am so short!
    4. Dust TV screen- gave it a quick clean this morning
    5. Clean coffee table- don't have one.
    6. Empty wastepaper basket- don't have one.
    7. Clean skirting boards- did every room before work. My bf thinks have gone mad with all this doing things before work!

    I also did last nights dishes, made the bed, hung a washing on dryer, put another load in and looked out the stuff I want to list on Ebay then made our butties for work.
    Working till 6 then will put dinner on, quick wipe of the hall and living room floor and get bf to take pics of the Ebay stuff so I can eventually list them after dinner.

    Didn't see the list until 5 minutes ago so I've done the kitchen and bathroom :D But I polished and vacuumed the living room too and through the hallway so I'll just catch up with the extras in the living room when we get to kitchen day. I have decluttered a few of my husband's things (while he's at work ;)) because it's recycling day tomorrow and I can get rid of the evidence quickly.

    Dull here again today so I've just hung the washing round indoors. I put it out the last two days and it didn't dry at all.
