    have ironed so have no ironing pile and also very little laundry

    went to get DD and friend from Dronfield (waved @ Mummyoffive;)) and took friend home and came home. Had interesting chat with DD.

    I don't think there is a room I don't like cleaning in Villa Valli - I even like cleaning out the shed...I used to hate the kitchen though - well the oven to be specific. I love it now though;)

    4 hours spent in the boys bedroom, wardrobes all cleared out and sorted, toys all sorted, books all sorted, games sorted, window cleaned and 4 bin bags of rubbish out. :D

    Hall have been hoovered, plant watered and window cleaned.:D

    DD's bedroom have been tidyed, hoovered, window cleaned.:D

    Our bedroom floor has been cleared, window washed and floor hoovered.:D

    More washing done, more clean washing put away, down to 3 loads left..:j

    OH going for a bath now and then i'll go. Bathroom can be done tomorrow morning as well as the packing.

    Right i'm away, hope everyone has a good week. See you all on friday.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Clean hob - DH does after every meal anyway
    Wipe doors, drawers & kickboards
    [STRIKE]Clear a hotspot[/STRIKE] Table in the lounge
    Extras
    Defrost freezer and meal plan
    HHI


    Not too bad I don't think and the DH was suitably impressed for a change! :D Although I didn't manage any of the calls I had planned to!

    The freezer was defrosted last weekend as we went away and doesn't need it and I am working on next week's meal plan at the moment, although it is proving tough as we are trying to plan for two weeks as we have a lot of outgoings over the next 2-3 weeks. I seem to have spent whatever time I haven't been doing housework today trying to get inspiration for meals for the next few weeks! There is almost too much choice! I don't do ironing so thats a job saved. ;)
