Hiya everyone
I'm back and raring to go. Just off to give the master bedroom a sort as things have slipped a little. I'll start properly tomorrow. Lots of changes here as we're trying to simplify everything which means major decluttering -anything to make life easier. We're just fed up of having too much 'stuff'! So, catch up soon and hugs to all.

Hi Peeps,
Last post of the day/evening :rotfl:
Done everything today that I wanted and some of the list to so am well pleased. Back to work tomorrow so won't be posting till late afternoon/evening.
Will do as much of list as poss but if it's kids rooms DS's will be ok but DD's is a nightmare and I probably won't be seen for about a week :rotfl:
She's supposed to be keeping it tidy to earn pocket money at the weekend but I don't think she's done that for 3 weeks and boy does it show :rotfl: Normally I would complain but at the mo I can't be bothered as too busy doing up the house & garden and hoping it might teach her in the end that if she wants to buy something and hasn't the money then she should have tidied upIt's a vain hope but I cling to it :rotfl:

Hello,
Oooh, there's nothing quite like a rage to get me cleaning. I came home from work at 6 in a foul mood and with a day long headache so I cleaned as I cursed and have just stopped for tea now! I feel loads better and tired myself out enough to sleep tonight instead of dwelling on stuff. And tomorrow? I will go to work and smile.
I keep forgetting to do the smoke alarm test when I do the hall but it's just done itself while I was making tea. Must remember to grill bacon once a week..

Just sat down for the first time proper since getting home from work at 3.30 and caught up as much as poss on all the posts.
Hope all poorly little ones have a restful night and are feeling better in the morning.
Took everything out from under our bed as planned :T .
Found a pair of boots, a jigsaw and a froggy rainmac towards the ever growing car boot pile. Threw out 3 empty shoe boxes and hoovered up a mountain of fluff!
It's now a bit clearer under there, just need to buy 2 lidded storage boxes tomorrow or Fri to get the rest back under there in some kind of order.
DH did clean all the windows today and they look great, no dirty rain spots to spoil the view looking out to the garden which is full of cherry blossom and clematis and looking very pretty....it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

One load of washing done, dried and put away - bread made, DW on, finished and emptied, kitchen wiped down - packs made for tomorrow - bathroom and toilets cleaned - grass moen and weeding done, veg patch and lawn watered - bedrooms, landing, hall, kitchen and living room hoovered - bins out ready for tomorrow.
Still feeling down, but at least my house is clean!!!!
Aiming for an early night, and hopefully i will feel a bit more with it tomorrow.

Have been running around like a blue @rsed fly because baby is going straight to grans after childminder tomorrow so making sure everything is ready. Have not had time to read all the posts from today so am sorry. Hope everyone is having a good day and (((hugs))) to those that need them! Managed to do dailies and a few off my list. Won't be posting tomorrow as leaving house at 7:15am and won't be back til midnight. Have to roll the list on til weekend and play catchup.
