  • 3 Frog letters prepared in the small hours

    quick quick S&S round kitchen and main bathroom and
    WM x 2 and TD x2,

    Compared m&&rkats and saved £100 on house insurance :money: Martin Lewis would be soooo proud , so that is paid for and automatic renewals cancelled on the old one.

    Not much off the official list

    Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level One
    Strip, wash & replace bedding
    Level Two
    Clear floors
    Hoover floors
    Level Three
    Clear and wipe bedside cabinets
    Dust any dusty bits
    Wipe bed frame
    Extras
    HHI
    [STRIKE]Catch up on any washing[/STRIKE] WM X8 TD X8 including DD3 bed and guest bed, so looks like I am ahead for tomorrow on that one :D:D:D:D

    Collected DS prescription

    DS cotbed is offline in my bedroom with my bed, but I did wrestle his mattress protector off, all his sheets, blankets, duvets and pillows through the wash as part of the 8 loads too ( FYI DS is 3, so don't worry about SIDS cos of duvets and pillows) All dried and ready to assemble as soon I have floorboards to walk on without falling through the ceiling.

    Unexpected water leak during DIY today meant flying stopped for a while to crack out the V@x - mats in hall now smell like wet dog even though I don't have a dog.....not the welcoming aroma I was hoping for when my friend arrives tomorrow

    Straightened living room, polished mirror, glass doors and shelves and knick-knacks. Washed all downstairs glass panel doors to remove DS finger/hand prints and plaster/sawdust in advance of tomorrow all 5 of them :eek: both sides :eek::eek: 15 glass panels on each side :eek::eek::eek:

    Emptied bathroom and nappy bins, Took out rubbish, cardboard recycling and food compost recycling, washed and disinfected all bins, S&S kitchen again, DW X2, washed dining room table and chairs, removed dining chair cushions and put in wash as part of 8 loads.

    Wiped main bathroom cupboards and mirrors.

    Removed and hidden all cooker knobs to prevent DD3 from unauthorised cooking incursions :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    That's me done for....hopefully I will catch up with today's list once my floorboards go back down tomorrow

    Night night flyladies and flygents!
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Morning,
    Well I haven't achieved much in the second half of this week. Haven't changed the beds, need to do ironing, and cook something 'proper'. Also need to grab something the kiddies can have for tea at my aunties this afternoon.

    Will try to get on with those this morning. Or tomorrow morning. ;)

    Morning all. I'm not expecting to get anything other than the dailies done before the paid stuff today, although aiming to do ironing later. So far I've stripped and remade bed and put WM on, fed and medicated dogs, made DD a packed lunch, got clean and am having my breakfast now.

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

    Mrs MP that's awful. I always keep my doors locked. Our sitting room is at the back of the house so wouldn't hear if someone came in. Although I have switched the chime on the alarm for the front door too. Just in case. Mine is as much about the kids getting out, as it is about strangers getting in...

    Pottering here and had a sort through my nearly new sale items for next Saturday.

    it wasnt posted to scare people just to remind them to stay safe.
