    it's not the first time, either...

    I ma ploughing my way through - have decided to

    wash everything that's going in the kitchen cupboards BEFORE it gets put in

    do a Level 3 on each room.

    So have started at the top front (DDs bedroom) and am working my way round and down.

    And don't talk to me about tilers...

    not that I would know what one looks like:mad:

    Been to post ebay sales. Paid paper bill at the same time (same shop), Bought stuff for classroom fishtank (same precinct) and posted a couple of items as well (love killing two birds (or more).

    Now back I go...

    Fridge cleaned and disinfected, a binbagful of food binned as I don't want to take any chances after the puking incident earlier this week.

    WM x 1

    DD2's bedroom hoovered.

    Been sat in my new chairs today, enjoying the comfort.
