    Empty and clean out your bins! I actually did this on Sat as when I changed the bin there were ants in ther! :eek:

    Declutter Mission
    Sort a drawer, Instead of a drawer I am going to sort the boxes in the living room, these were packed about 3 months ago when I was going to move and I'm not moving now, so really need to unpack them :eek:

    Well my kitchen is sparkling for once! I also cleaned my oven hob too, swept the floor but I am not going to mop until we are about to leave for the school run this afternoon so it's dry by the time we get home.
    I have also put one wash load on and hung another on the clothes horse, can't use my tumble drier as I'm skint this week so dont want to waste any leccy!

    I am having a little rest now becuase quite frankly I feel like death warmed up!
    Have made my bolognozzle sauce for dinner tonight and got the mince out, I just hope it deforsts in time! TBH I'm not sure wether I should even attempt to eat it, maybe I should just stick to something plain, I used passatta and a tin of tomatoes plus garlic, herbs, salt and pepper to taste.

    As for the boxes, I am going to tackle them after lunch.

    Good morning :D

    Thanks for the slugs tips. I am going to top up on salt, I think :p

    I have hoovered through downstairs, loaded the DW, washed up a few bits, got the tuff spot in from the garden & wiped it, so we can do gardening in the kitchen this afternoon, if need be :) I have my development worker visiting this afternoon, so the table is clear for paperwork.

    Bubba has been asleep since the play school run, so I have had a chance play with Miss T and the puzzles :) I may pay a visit to Homebase with the 2 after schoolies to get a sticky thing for the doorbell (sellotape doesn't work, and it fell off again :o), and a chain for the door - and see if they have a blueberry :j

    Will catch up later. Kitchen doesn't look too bad.

    Trying to not eat but feel starving!.

    You can get it on prescription.. if that is any cheaper or you have prepayment thing. It sounds most painful though :(

    Freezer in shed scrubbed out.. I've not seen it this clean since it was new!
    2 baskets laundry on the line

    Shopping arrived and all safely stashed.. off to feed some of it to Squeak and me!!

    Filled wash powder tub.. then realised I had left the scoop in.. so we played lucky dip to rescue that :p

    I'd LOVE a nap.. but doubt these 2 small pests will allow such luxuries.
