Greenbee, I dustpan and brushed, then Henry, then Dyson, then damp dusted. It got rid of the worst of it but the residual dust has increased.

Third load in the WM. DW needs emptying, but I CBA. Must clean the hens out whilst it isn't raining.

OK. Someone shoot me now. I don't think I can stand to watch. I may have to take up flying for the rest of the afternoon to drown my sorrows. Except I can't, I have no hoover.

I know the feeling. Scottish but living in Wales

They have swept and henried, so now I've dysoned the kitchen and hall I guess I should do that upstairs. I might just mop the ceilings and walls in the bedroom and hall too... Want to get those and the bathroom done today, and my mattress hoovered. A friend is coming over tomorrow to go to the farmers market so will help me move my mattressl

I have a cousin staying on Monday night, so need sitting room, hall, loo, kitchen, stairs, landing and bathroom sorted by then. Another cousin is due Monday morning to start decorating but knows he might be helping with the cleanup instead :cool: plus I need to sort out paint anyway as I can't get satinwood matched to the shade the machine said my existing paint was.

Have made green lentil soup for late lunch. Dust sheet is on the line in thhe damp to try to get the sawdust out so we can use it for painting. So about to chuck some washing in the machine, do some washing down in the bedroom and will then go and do some washing. Should really do a freezer inventory too, as I haven't really been doing proper food for a month, and need to feed cousins lunch (plan to make one soup a day) and Monday evening... No inspiration for the latter!

I've done 6 loads of washing (81Kg!!) and most is on the line but my prop is deceased.. I need at least 2 new ones!
1 load in the dryer (socks and pants)
Woolies on airers

I filled a tesco carrier purely with cat sh-poop, 2 dead birds and an empty can... that.. was gross in the extreme.. why does cat sh-poop smell 1000000000 times worse in the house?!

The playhouse/shed has been emptied and vacuumed.. 50ft down the garden went Henry! I do love him!

We have flung...

1 set bunk beds
1 plastic playhouse
5 dead bikes/trikes (One was my sisters first birthday present.. she is 30 this year!!!)
2 dead scooters
2 dead dining chairs
3 binbags!!! of random dirty grot and detritus.. inc. bucket, pencils, unsalvagable duplo and 3 space hoppers!!
and a wooden kitchen

The remainder has been wiped down so it is hygienic for Squeak to play with.. the car, 2 rockers, the tricycle and 3 little ELC chairs..

Beats cleaning in the actual house!

The things I get away with flinging while the girls aren't here to cling to it all!

OK. I was shamed into flying by piggers. 1 frog eaten - the drawer under the cooker. Boy does it look better (and far more hygienic:D), and 1/2 way through the fridge clearout and scrub at 1/2 time. I will fly:j even if the rugby players can't.

pigpen

Well done cat...

Just stuffing my face and I am back to my ever full laundry baskets

Poor OH had to do tesco today so is snoring on the sofa.. mid-dinner!!

I suppose I should vacuum the middle room and get the hallway straight again too.

cat_smith

Thanks piggers. Can't join you in hoovering as we haven't got a working one at the moment, but will continue with kitchen/bathroom flying. Fridge still WIP as are 2 bathrooms. I WILL start Monday with a fighting chance.

serena

:hello:Hi ladies!! Just flitting through, to see if anyone remembers me....:o I have been mega busy for months now, mainly school, school trips to France, conferences, family, etc etc

I have done a minimal amount of flying, and had a lot of help from the rest of the family, so I have a home that isn't too embarrassing (as long as the lights aren't too bright):cool:

Love and hugs, especially to all my flylady friends. Looking forward to catching up over the Easter break.

Lovely to see you Serena.

All of upstairs tidy and clean. LR hoovered too.

Really sorry to hear of Muamba's collapse, hope he is ok.

*squeezes for serena*

Who are you again?

I just don't have anything shiny.. dust shows up less
