Famous last words... I started in the corner of the dining room and - within 5 minutes - was taking a door off and dragged it outside. After almost 3 hours there's a difference, provided I only look at the bits of the room I've done.

Snap - DS1 isnt up yet but as soon as he is the bickering will start. Looks like rain here so not sure what we will be doing. Time for painting or something I suppose, but for that I will have to clear the dining table. Head down and batter on (I miss Toots and Craftyscholar)

Valli, thanks for your tips, i'll give it a try next time!
Well, i am supposed to be working today, but i've had to keep DS off nursery with sickness. So we are both home. Thankfully he is his usual full of beans self in between barfing, so i might be able to get some things done.

Doing better then me
Barely. The only bits I managed were the top half of a cabinet (wiped glass doors and tidied up shelves) and the shelves in the dresser (tidied and wiped). The door I removed was ugly and couldn't be used anyway, because there wasn't enough space to close it, if that makes sense. It just collected dust.
Sending positive vibes to Mrs MP's niece and the new piglet.
Plenty of scope for bickering children here today, too, as DS1 is going to help his brother with his bedroom. :eek: It's the second RoD in the house. Fingers crossed it will last and they'll make good progress.
Off to get breakfast and then make a start.
