Can't be bothered to go back for my list but the kitchen, bathroom and living room are all up to standard - and it's a high standard:p Dining room has, as per usual, taken all the stuff that should be elsewhere and has not yer been homed from the decorating.
I am warm - it is, as they say hereabouts 'close' (pronounced as in nearby) clammy, sticky weather and - well another shower might be in order...
But I need to vacuum through upstairs yet and also down the stairs, in the hope of repelling our hoppy visitors.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Oops - flying flew out of the window here half way through the week! Finally got DS1's diagnosis and although it was expected it's kind of taken the wind out of my sails so barely even looked at the thread the last few days
On the plus side I can knock one item off my massive to-do list - the oven is sparkly clean (for clean, read new
)!
I think the plan now is just to make sure the house is reasonably tidy and clean at least on the surface tomorrow ready to start again properly on Monday. I'm afraid I'm not turning out to be a very good flylady (or a good anything for that matter)! :cool:0 -
