    In my HHC I

    - S&S'd family bathroom and downstairs WC
    - gave our ensuite a serious clean including mirrors and floor
    - sent my bathroom cloth to join Jazee's old mop in the golden cleaning fields above the sky - it was more holes than cloth :D
    - finished hoovering downstairs, up the bare stairs, on the landing and in the bedrooms (enough to get up the visible bits that had got trodden in)
    - stripped and re-made our bed, apart from putting on the clean duvet cover which requires DH's help (extra-large duvet for him to wrap his ample proportions in and still leave me enough to cover my modesty!)
    - moved the bookcase and shoe rack back into the hall, with all their contents
    - put another load in the WM
    - made :coffee:

    Still to do: most of today's kitchen list, but the worktops are almost clear and the floor is hoovered - though I do also have to add "Clean the window behind the sink" as it's covered in spatters of emulsion and undercoat because of Alan washing out his brushes there last week instead of using the utility. :mad:
    Also need to hang out washing, but right now it's drizzling slightly. Might hold back on other loads until tomorrow when the forecast is for sunshine :cool:

    But first I will declutter :coffee: and finish writing a card and a couple of emails.

    How did you get on, toochoosey?

    DW on
    Babies fed and watered.. getting them in the bath in a minute.

    Cuppa glugged

    CSA chased.. ggrrrr
    Cat chased to de-flea but we didn't catch up with her, she is like furry lightening!

    Next job.. arrange fitting of new shower (had to put it on the credit card :( so not impressed!)

    I had a hilarious half hour last night.. I installed WoW on DS3's laptop and had to check it worked so spent half an hour squealing as I got stuck in barrels and behind statues and fell in canals and sat on by OH on various dragons and mammoths and he dropped me in a lake from a great height! I am not very good at the whole walking in a straight line thing... I did manage to get back to where I started from without too much hassle...

    *wandered off for half an hour after answering the door and getting Squeak on the potty*

    Girls in bath.. I thought of someone else I need to ring and nag but I've forgotten again.. *think think* I knew I should have written it down immediately!

    ...

    Nope.. can't remember!

    Don't have any ironing, so spent 30mins tidying/sorting DD1 wardrobe instead. Large bag to charity shop this afternoon.

    Have also managed to put a cake in the oven. Well impressed with amount achieved today,:T

    Will now chill with a cuppa, then met a friend for lunch.

    We are so ahead of ourselves!

    The whole of my Monday list (kitchen) is done:dance: - even had the lightshade down and washed it, something I can't manage by myself.

    We've got a start on all the other rooms too, in that ALL the radiators have been cleaned behind, and ALL the indoor door and window glass has been cleaned (no more nose-art; Megan will have a blank canvas to work on):D

    Piggers when you remember who else it is you need to call, say the name out loud to yourself over and over til you get to a pen and paper. I know this feeling well - I forget just about everything these days. :o
    I've never done WoW (not into MMORPGs as I'm not sociable enough) but we do play lots of stuff like Neverwinter Nights, Oblivion, Skyrim, Dragon Age style of thing.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Morning! (just!)

    We slept in this morning :D DD wandered in to wake me at 7.25 (hah that's a lie in for us).
    Rushed kiddies off to nursery, went to get weighed (lost another 2lb). Nipped into the market, got carrots, onions and coriander (making soup later). Butcher wasn't open yet, so will go again tmw as he cures his own gammon joints and they are fab.
    Went in home bargains and got some bits for my nieces, we're sending them a parcel.
    Popped into boots (gawd their Xmas gifts all out, and soooo expensive!) then did a freezer shop at Iceland to stock the second freezer.
    Phew.
    Then I started on the kitchen!
