    I'm in! Thanks to Dusty for the thread!:T:T

    Have managed to clear a good amount of ironing and am now up to date with the washing.:j

    Tomorrow - well I will have to get DD2 to the GP (suspected water infection) and go to town for various bits and pieces. Sadly the riverside path I usually cycle along is not yet cleared so I will probably leave my bike at work and dash in on foot.

    The rest of the week is looking fairly straight forward ( unless something else decides to rear it's head!!!) so hopefully more flying will happen.;);)

    Today was a lovely day here, although the washing is not drying particularly well - a north facing back garden doesn't help. OH cooked Sunday tea ( roast ham, nom nom) andi had the washing up done and dusted by 5.30 - which meant I got to head out on my evening walk in the light!:j:j

    Wipe over surfaces
    Clean toaster / kettle / microwave

    Thanks for the list Dusty. I'm in again.

    OH decided he had to hang pictures today so that's been done at last following the bedroom redecoration last month. Saint that he is, he also put the shelves up over the sink in my office which I've been asking him to do for several weeks. He also decided today was the right day to put the secondary glazing up for the winter, so I encouraged him to clean windows first(!).

    While we were getting the glazing down from the attic, I shoved six boxes of gibble up there from my office, so I can safely put off having to find permanent homes for all those treasures for quite some time. Procrastination 10, Rehoming 0. By this time tomorrow the three double duvets in the corner will have been downloaded to the car and the place will start to look as though it's an office for the first time in quite a while.

    I might even give the kitchen a bit of a going over.
    Better is good enough.

    Thanks for last week Jue and this week Dusty.

    Looking g-o-o-o-d in Valliland....

    It's really easy when you clean/wash/iron as an avoidance tactic :rotfl:

    Just designed a perpetual calendrier francais (can't do accents etc) pour ma club francais (I am running French after school club says she who failed French o level! Sacre bleu! In my defence I can speak it fairly well, read a french menu and tell a French lady in a French railway station that I lost my ticket in the machine in French;) - all the staff left the English speaking English people and came to help moi :rotfl:) so I think I'm ok.

  • Have been looking at new WMs - any opinions on Bekos?

    The TD I bought on Friday is a Beko. I am really pleased with it :) I haven't tried the WM's though :o

    I am in this week - thanks Dusty for the lists.
    I have just submitted my research proposal (a whole day early. Go me!!) :j
    I will update with a list in the morning, as I think I am going to bed now. Hugs, sticks & spoons to those that need them, and get well vibes to any poorlies. Night night all x
