    Front room done..
    Back room almost done
    Middle room needs a big declutter
    Hallway needs a quick tidy
    The kitchen needs wiping down
    DW on
    2x WM on

    Other than that the downstairs is looking a bit more habitable.. the girls room has gained 6 boxes and a binbag of stuff for ebay/cs/putting away for the next child clothes mainly but general gibblous items.

    I can't vacuum anything else until Henry is emptied.

    I love my kitchen when it is tidy :D

    I need to sleep, I feel quite dreadful.

    Quick mop of the bathroom and loo then I need to do dinner..

    Really pleased for you yesterday - did you get to see a silver and gold?

    Nah we were there the day before when the British guy didn't qualify, had a good time though.

    Today I have picked the rest of the blackcurrants blackcurrants - should have done this a few days ago really - made the cake - lovely and I bet the kids wont like it, even better for me :D

    That's it, oh know I did the ironing :rotfl:

    Going to cut the back grass if I can move the swingball without soaking the grass.

    Dusty I bet you enjoyed it more for having seen what they do. My DH used to do competitive kayaking *coughs* 20 plus years ago so he really enjoyed it.

    I am pleased to report that waxing the dresser has taken the marks off from using it as a temp store cupboard during the building works. Result!

    Hello everyone.

    Just updating my list and it doesn't look too bad.

    I've also done today:-
    aired and made bed
    put clothes away
    vacuumed upstairs
    ss bathroom
    watered plants that needed it
    WM x 1
    hung washing out
    brought it back in when sky looked very dodgy
    it was just dry; so folded it
    aired the washing

    DH made the bread & will cook dinner
    DW x 1 DH

    which reminds me I had better go and unpack the dishes and put them away. I think that may be it for today.

    My stepdad has just had a heart attack so is in hospital.. best part being they were away for the weekend so they aren't at the hospital here ( he is at Pilgrim hospital, Boston) and noone seems to have my brothers number to get in touch with him!

    Beasty bedtime! Then I get to ice buns as ladybirds!

    Hope your Stepdad is going to be ok Piggers. X

    Huge hugs for Boosymoo and Dragonette...it's been a bit of a week it appears, maybe the big ol'moon had something to do with all the upsetting stuff that's been going on.

    Myself, I'm drained, feel a bit unwell but hopefully will be better tomorrow. Managed to meet with an 'official' person at my home on Thursday, I'd managed to kick over a full glass of red the night before.:eek:
    Being Oldstyle I quickly found some stale white wine to cover it, then salt.
    I then decided to look under the sink and there in glorious technicolor was the brand new bottle of Shout carpet stain remover especially good for red wine stains!:doh::wall:


    Anyways used that as well and it's almost gone, trouble is I now have a clean looking patch of rug which delightfully highlights just how
    mucky the rest of it is.:o

    But the house was respectable ish for the visitor.

    Some good news, my eldest has today got herself a full time job, it's in a call centre but it's her first full time job.:D

    Just got a couple of things on my own list to finish off, all in all I feel like I have had a really productive week. I have decluttered the living room, hallway, bathroom, dining room, landing, DS bedroom, I only have the kitchen and my room to do!! Having a good clear out will hopefully make cleaning a lot easier now.

    Thank you ladies for giving me the inspiration and motivation.

    However, so much decluttering has been going on that I will have to make another trip to the dump.

    Hope you all have a good evening x
