    I thought I'd dug all the paeonies out of the front lawn last year. They must have had babies as there are far more in the lawn than where I transplanted them to... Choice is to mow/weed kill them or let them grow and dig them up when they are big enough, in the hope that in a few years time I will have a nice new paeony bed (not sure where yet).

    Stairs swept with dustpan and brush... Possibly quicker than hoovering! Cleaning cloths and mop heads on a 90 degree wash in the WM to clean them and it. Might go and sweep upstairs, then contemplate mopping...

    me - just got last load off the line, it's dry-ish, so an iron should finish it off, and now its hailing down!

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Tots both been asleep for 20min which doesn't bode well for morning!

    Have checked freezer and meal planned for week till Friday. So we don't need much, really just eggs and bananas. I will pick some up in the morning, after tots are gone to nursery, and I've collected parcel from po depot. Then I'll have to crack on with work. Working from home tomorrow. So at least I can be productive on my lunch break if not the rest of the day, haha

    Lampshades all dusted with a sticky clothes brush. Kitchen and upstairs swept with rubber broom which worked surprisingly well. Bedroom, bathroom, landing, study, loo and kitchen all mopped, so at least the superficial layer of dirt has gone, and the bedroom isn't getting dirty.

    Need to do some more Internet shopping for all the stuff I need and can't be bothered to do anything about... At least that will make me feel I've done something useful.

    Curtain tiebacks ordered, and a shelf for the bathroom. Really should order the beds... But am somehow convinced that I'll find something better if I keep looking!

    DW on. Cleaning stuff is out of the WM. Next two lots of laundry sorted - one can go in tonight. Need to get ironing picked up (and pay for the last lot).and then make more lists of what needs doing so I can do it/get it done...
