    Woop Woop! :j :j :j

    My house is actually starting to look liveable again, instead like it was broken into and trashed by a bunch of hooligans :D

    • Boxes and detrius has been unpacked and removed from the kitchen.
    • 3 black bags have gone out to the bin.
    • Large dining table has been listed on Gumtree
    • Fridge has also been listed on Gumtree
    • Small dining table built (kitchen cluttered and TD not easily accessible, but the Table is now out of the hall! :) )
    • LR has been hoovered
    • DS was sent round LR earlier with the duster then polish and a cloth
    • Hall has been partially hoovered
    • Some toys from the hall have the garage 'stoor' cleaned off and are now away in DS room...
    In between all that, I have cooked some chicken legs in a bag of spices...

    Ive also had the WM and TD shuffling all day and I can Bet DS just dumped the piles I gave him in his room!

    I think Ill have another HH putting away Laundry, a bit of a declutter in my room then call it a day

    :A

    ETA = Hugs Cat.... Fingers crossed, everything will be ok!

    One of these 16 year olds did food tech GCSE.

    It transpires that she answered the question 'Name 4 types of rice' with, among other answers 'egg fried'.

    Wow skint breeder. That is some list. I have to admit I have my contacts in and I've had more than a few glasses of prosecco at a 40th birthday do.

    Football with DS3 on the agenda tomorrow at 10am. Need to get my car from the party venue in town. Plus roast dinner for 9. Must get a few glasses of water down me then aim for 8 hours in bed asleep!

    Morning all. Had a lie in again, till 7.55 today. Will be back to silly o'clock tomorrow though. So far today I've:

    Put lamb in slow cooker
    Washed up
    Fed/medicated dogs
    Had breakfast
    Written my Christmas present list (hehe)

    Off for a nice soak and bit of pampering. Will walk dogs later and groom them, hoover downstairs as usual and then see where the day takes me.

    Have a good day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
