One load of washing done and on the line. I keep looking out the window because the sky is looking decidedly iffy.

Kitchen done, all cupboards and surfaces wiped down. Floor vacuumed (I even remembered to look up and got the cobwebs off the ceiling:D). I should sort out my baking tins cupboard and I might do that later when my back and knees recover from....

doing the bathroom and toilet, including the floors on my hands and knees. I don't have a downstairs toilet so I did the upstairs one and then just sort of carried on. I took all the stuff off the shelves and wiped the bottles over and the shelf underneath. Something I've just remembered I was going to try was cleaning the mirror with shaving foam, I read it's supposed to stop it steaming up. I'll try and remember that next time I go upstairs.

Having a coffee and a sit down for a while. I should do that kitchen cupboard really, it's dustbin day tomorrow and I've got some room in there for extra rubbish.
