    Dusty have a grand holiday; Juliejim enjoy nephew's birthday. I want you two to know even though I'm doing my own lists, I do also grab the official lists to see if there's "extras" I can do, or if I've missed something, so they are still appreciated.:o

    On today's there's the "thoroughly clean a small appliance" task, but Mr LW had the deep-fat fryer in pieces and cleaned it on Sunday, so I reckon that's covered!;):D

    Sagaris Have a (((HUG))).

    Mumto5 I'm glad your handbag has reappeared - you suspected something like that, as I recall?

    I'm lounging today (as in cleaning the lounge!!) but I already did the patio doors, as there was a plethora of Dylanesque nose-art to shift.:eek:

    What I want to do it get a little bit further ahead each day this week, and have Friday off, if possible, so as to be fit to greet the Lhasa Apsos when they arrive, and have a game with them (they're younger than my "usual" guests); also their stuff will need to go in the spare room, so as that's Friday's room, doing it ahead of time will be helpful.
    Uh, oh, I'm waffling:eek:. *zips lip*
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    What a beautiful day for it :) Well jell :p

    I have been working this morning, also popped to the shop for bread, bananas & ham. I need to clear up the kitchen now, and plan to do an hour or so of work paperwork.

    Off to look at listy now.....

    I'm in again for this week. I never seem to manage to join in on Mondays (and sometimes Tuesdays) as they're such busy days for me, so I'm playing catch up again. But as the list generally starts in a different room each week, skimping on the early days doesn't seem to matter. Come Friday, the house looks better and I'm pleased with what I've done, which is what really matters.
