    I can't believe how much black mould/mildew is in my undersink cupboard :eek: Sprayed loads of demoulder, window is as open as I dare have it in the rain and I'll be putting a few dehumidifiers under there when I can stand to get near the cupboard again!

    Its also given me a chance to empty all the bottles out. Can't remember when I last emptied it out, some of the bottles have lost their labels, some are empty (no idea how they've gotten back under there!) and I've found some things I didn't even know I had! Will be making a list and sticking it to the inside of the cupboard door so I don't end up going out and buying stuff when I have something suitable under the sink. Also sorted through all the gardening bits in there where I found a newspaper from 2009 :o

    Oh well, not much else can be done now until the cleaner has worked it magic. Really can't believe how much stuff I have to clean with considering the state of the place :o
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Nicki - worrying about your DD, hope she is ok

    Hmmm I haven't got much done today. I went for a run this morning in the only brief dry period of the day. I have batch cooked some tomato soup for lunch, and portioned and frozen the leftovers.

    Just finishing slurping a cuppa and then I will move to tackle some listy stuff.

    2 x HHC coming up ... join in if you can!
