    Just handwashed my t-shirt as the kitchen was still stinking of vinegar. I'll let it drip dry outside, the weather is perfect for drying today.

    Morning.

    I've made a bit of a start. WM is going with the 1st load. I plan to do a few loads today and take advantage of the sunshine.

    Baby is in a fab mood and very content to play by himself so that makes the day look promising.

    I've also had a quick walk to the postbox to post back the DVD rental.

    I love kitchen day, as it is the one room that always gets cleaned, so i can usually achieve level 3, so let's hope that today isn't an exception. :D

    I'm just trying to get baby to have a kip, but it is not looking that promising at the moment. Might have to do a bit of a walk round the house with him. Then i can really crack on.

    Michelle, x

Its been 5.30am and up the last week and to get some solid hours is brilliant, he has woke up bright and happy so he must feel better - just feel gulity now I as caused the problem rushing in to him at ever noise. Will see how tonight goes but am determined to follow this through. Thanks for the hugs, Michelle thought it could be hunger but have managed to rule that out over the weekend but thanks you just never know.

    Good morning everyone,

    Have had a busy (but not cleaning wise) weekend, so lots to do today, and havnt had chance to catch up with what everyone was up to over the weekend, so hope everyone is ok. (Lil_me, hope the new FF was delivered and is working!!!)

    Well, today, i have made the beds, and given the bathroom and toilets a really good clean. WM is on and ive also sprayed the oven, so it will need finishing off in a bit. Ive taken some cod out of the freezer for dinner tonight, plus a piece of pork ready for a roast tomorrow (busy weekend, so no sunday lunch!!!) was going to do the roast today, but forgot to take the meat out!

    So, still to do - Finish cleaning the oven, wipe down all units, appliances and worktops, wipe down kitchen table, hang washing out and then, clean under the kitchen table!!!!
    Ok, be back later, hopefully having done everything.
    Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Yay I've managed to get some jobs done before putting the computer on...although it was strange not to have music to boogie to :rotfl: I'm having 5 minutes sit down before I tackle the ironing while watching a DVD. Now I could leave the ironing until the washing is finished and put out and dried, but I know that I'll just put it off again....so I'm going to do it as soon as I've logged off here ;) I can always leave the ironing board etc set up so I can do more later.

    Also tidied the livingroom, DD's room and moved my plants about as the garden table was bowing under the weight :o Washing Load 2 of at least 4 is almost finished so it looks like I will be putting that out before I get on with the ironing...okay will give the kitchen a S&S (to the weekly clean standard ;)) while I wait for the spin cycle to end. :wave:
