    Mostly did the garden yesterday, today trying to sort the house.

    WM and DW on. Cloakroom and back hall done. Made a start on the kittchen including shining one sink and making a start on the hob but I am bored now.

    Anyone care to join me for HHC?
    you wanted to type 'kitten' didn't you?:p

    Bedroom hoovered, mopped and hoovered again. Bed washed down and some of the marks removed. Hopefully my cousin will be able to help me deal with the scratches and dents, as he runs a furniture business.

    Lots of washing done... I'd hoped to bung it on the line, but we've just had hail :eek: so the dryer is working overtime. Have been to the farmers' market and picked up bread (must bung it in the freezer) and some stuff for supper tomorrow.


    Need to summon up the energy to get the bathroom, kitchen and sitting room sorted out...

    probably. DH would happily let me have a nice chubby pawed ginger kitten but I think that would be an alarming descent into full on cat lady. I am fighting my genes :D I would be bulk buying pineapple tins next (even though no-one likes it).

    Need to brush and mop the kitchen floor next. Chicken in the oven for later, and about to make chocolate cake for DS2.

    Have run out of energy to fight the sawdust. There just isn't room...

    Mind you, I should still be able to get the kitchen and bathroom done. Or go over to my brother's to plant a few things. Just CBA... Quite fancy a nap, which probably means I'm too cold...

    oh Pigpen, poor Jacobs mum. Does that leave her with no family at all? I can see why you would hurt for her and Jacob.

    Oh no, Piggers :( Life can be so damned unfair sometimes.

    Sorry to hear that Piggers.

    I have been tiptoeing as still feeling fragile but think the bug is leaving at last.

    I have sorted 4 drawers, 1 is now empty
    1 jewellery box (1 bag of broken gold to sell & 8 items to go on local sales site.)
    1 box of hair stuff sorted and reduced
