    Kaz.. I am flinging everyones stuff that isn't away.. At least the house will be emptier!
    I wish I had your strength!

    Well DH and DD both took themselves back to bed (rolls eyes) although Dh has to go to work tonight. I have walked the doogie to ensure it gets done and have continued with the washing, drying folding putting away of washing and finished putting away shopping, sorting cupboards in the process. Strange tea tonight using up bits n pieces which will probably not be very nice but tough its better than I was going to cook which was nothing!

    Going to wind up DD some more now

    Hi everyone

    I really have fallen off the wagon this week :o

    I went out this morning to get a birthday present for my sister so I had this afternoon to catch up and DH shut the door behind us and took the wrong keys :mad:

    Just got back in. We are out at my Mums tomorrow for my sisters birthday so precious little opportunity tomorrow.

    Will potter for the rest of today but backon the wagon properly on Monday.

    Really CBA now... might just clear the detritus from the kitchen so it looks like it did before supper (or possibly better) and then have a bath and head off to bed.

    All 5 shelves in the study have been washed down, and the stuff on them dusted, and the wooden bowls polished with beeswax polish. Only the CoD and wardrobe to do and then the whole thing will have been washed down. The house is slowly getting cleaner and tidier... and I'm somehow still finding stuff to get rid of, despite having spent YEARS chucking stuff out :o By the spare room is recommissioned we won't have anything to put in it!

    Don't let me forget to hoover and wash the floors tomorrow...

    I suppose that because thats how I dealt with tidying as a child there's no hope for me now :rotfl:

    Tea was not bad considering it consisted of a couple of bags of OOD microwavable egg fried rice, leftover pork, a few peas and a few prawns stir fried together with some chinese seasoning.

    Am continuing the reloading of the machines in the ad breaks and folding of clothes during BGT.

    Not a lot else to report

    DS has a cabin bed with a cupboard on one side and shelves on the other so there's no space for junk but I just hung some shirts in the wardrobe and took care not to look at the floor :D

    Just did an 1.5 hours of ironing and remade my bed, it's saturday night so now on strike with a glass of wine and Chocolat on dvd.

    We've spent the best part of the last 4 hours moving furniture from room to one, like one of those puzzles with the squares you shunt around to get in order.

    Kitchen - table to family room, Grandma's dresser to living room
    Family room - sofa to kitchen
    Living room - table folded to other end of room, DVD drawer to corner where chair and stall were, chair and stall to where table was.

    There is an immense amount of rehoming of stuff to do tomorrow now and a mass sort out required. Not sure if I like it all where it is yet (I'm not good with change :o)

    DS3 is being particularly special today. Cats are going to wonder where there family room sofa is :rotfl:
