I've tidied and dusted all 4 bedrooms and the landing. Just going to get the washing in and have a quick hoover around and wash the bathroom floor.
Weekend flying:
Ironing
Dusting downstairs
Tidy garage
Sort seedsThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Thank you Lame Wolf - mum should have had her appointment at 4 so I'm just waiting to hear the outcome of that.
Suppose I've not done too badly today, all things considered - I'll carry on tonght and see how much I can get done - I will stay out of DH's way as much as possible, he's been really grumpy lately and isn't the chatty type! I sometimes feel like I'm just here to be paying off his debts (he's on a DMP) and wouldn't be bothered if I was here or not.:j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

Greenbee.. I would fill up the bath with soapy water.. sling the duvet in... trample on it like grape crushing and leave it to soak... rinse a couple of times leave overnight to drain and fling over the line to dry.. I have done it a few times with mine in the past.. it is a giggle if nothing else!0

Wotcha chicks
I'm overly busy with my new job.Moving swiftly on, duh duuuhhhh...
I have got home at 7.30ish last night and went for it.
So hoovered front room.
Cleaned and bleached toilet.
Ditto sink in bathroom.
Ditto sink in kitchen.
3 loads of washing in, 2 loads drying more to sort.
All washing lugged downstairs.
New handwashes set out, old stuff thrown.
Bins binned.
worktops cleared and wiped.
Paperwork scooped and place in a neater pile awaiting sorting.
Managed to get a catering pack of chicken boobies, so split them into freezer bags and froze off. 23 large ones in all so I'm v. pleased.
Its a start... I have a busy weekend ahead so wanted to make some headway.
Now off for coffee.:DDFW Nerd 267. DEBT FREE 11.06.08

Crikey Triker, you put me to shame!
Just got a couple of loads of ironing to do today, hoping to get those done sooner rather than later, then off to Mr T's, then dog training for no 2 - no 1 went through it a couple of years ago! Mind you we might take her with us this time - usually she's so placid and well behaved, just give her the sofa and she's happy. Last week while we were out training she pulled down a new box of Dentastix and ate 14 of them! Greedy pig, at least she had clean teeth afterwards! :rotfl:
We have a dog walk planned for tomorrow but torrential rain is forecastWill have to see how that goes - if it's called off I can always catch up with stuff I've missed during the week - every cloud and all that!
Have a good Saturday everyone!:j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
:heart2: RIP Clio 1.9.93 - 7.4.10 :heart2:I WILL be tidy, I WILL be tidy!

Well I'm lazing in bed, all on my lonesome today. Couple of pals coming for coffee at 10 so I guess I'll have a shower. Then pick up all the kids toys. We are pretty clean really. It's nice. Just a few weeks of flying, and I'm reaping the benefit! Have got some ironing to do, though...Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
Managed to wash and dry the thin bit of my duvet last night, so with the spare mattress cover and under blanket, a flat sheet, blanket and bedcover I managed to have a nice sleep in clean sheets. Yesterdays sheets are in the dryer, and I'm starting to feed the pillows through the WM. Ancient broccoli is being turned into soup.
Need to shower, and then make more progress on clearing the spare room and bedroom as I should have help to move the furniture on Monday, so need to make sure I have somewhere to move it to by then!
Triker - your new job is obviously energising you0
