hi pigpen - yes you have been much missed! i wish i was going to pub - but have a date with ironing and alan sugar!! i am pleased with my progress this week - although far from getting everything done i am maintaining tidy downstairs so easier to really clean next week and also have made a good dent in upstairs mess!! but it has been so warm here - hope its like it tomorrow as i plan to go to the beach - before the influx of tourists as they have already started arriving today!!

well off to unload car of shopping - night all - pigpen please have lots of beers for me (although i do like archers best!!)

Hello, I'm only going to file paperwork and do a 10 minute cupboard tonight.

Didn't get home from work 'til 7.30 'cos I had to brave the Metro Centre - desperate for work shoes. The sunshine and me still in my winter woolies plus wandering round shops full of lovely spring clothes plus the realisation that I'm too old to be a Top Shop kid has made me glum. The only thing I want to do in the bathroom today is lay in a bath full of Lush products.
Big sigh.. Hey! but at least my kitchen's still clean!!

Evening all. Just posted Thursdays list for you all.

Spent 7 hours in Hamsterly Forest and Stanhope with the dogs, kids and DP today instead of doing housework so just off to do the bathroom now seeing as DS1 just been in bath with his icky verucca needs disinfecting anyway. PCs were done this morning (yes all 3) Washing also done this morning, got 2 loads dry on the line it's been so warm. Fingers crossed for the same tomorrow when I do the bed linen.

Solwaykid you brave girl, we did Metro Centre on Monday inc cinema, I start getting stressed as soon as I walk through the door, always busy and even more so in kids hols. Couldn't get to the sinks in the loos for little teenage girls faffing with make up and hair.

Rach IIRC all Polo's have the same mirrors, some are electric some are not. Well worth asking a VW specialist breakers they will usually be able to tell you. Also try eBay, https://www.adtrader.co.uk and if needs to be new https://www.eurocarparts.com they do VW stuff. If you get stuck finding out which will fit give me a shout and I'll ring the one up here I used to use when I had my Golf.

Hope everyones had a nice day

Good evening everyone,

Well, had quite a good flying day today, i did -

Cleaned the bathroom and toilet, including the floors.
Cleaned the downstairs toilet.
2 loads of washing done, dried and put away.
Living room dusted.
Kitchen swished.
Microwave cleaned.
Shopping done, and put away.

Feel like ive done more than that - but never mind - might actually be able to do the bedrooms tomorrow, as my 2 will be able to look after the Lo while i pop upstairs with the hoover - will be nice not to have to do it at the weekend. Mind you, we go away for a few days on Sunday, so will make sure the house is ship shape before we go.
Right, think im ready for an early night,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
