LW - eat something NOW or I'll come over there and give you a little talking to ;] x

Hall stairs and landings all clean and uncluttered. Bathroom, en-suite and downstairs loo all clean and sparkling.

Rest up at home Skint. Enjoy Baby, the time goes so quick.

Skinty glad you and Holly can come home, sit and enjoy for these first days only happen once.

Mumto5 hope the shopping is not too expensive, I need to take DS2 for a new ski jacket and black shoes (work won't have brown he wears for school) as he has grown again too.

School league tables out so that is a lot of work for a chair of S&A - ho hum. May do a HHC at 15:00 though to warm up and break up the figures!

Whole house cleaned from top to bottom today - following my own lists but with added inspiration from Natty :T

DH is buying some white vinegar so that I can try it out on our acrylic shower screen - thanks for the tip, LW! I assume it works well on windows too? What sort of cloth do you use for it?

3 loads of washing done, and there will only be 5 shirts to iron

List made for OJM: it has turned out not as long as I had feared, and I can do a few things off it myself - in fact, I've already done two
The batteries needed replacing in the gas fire ignition (couldn't turn fire on) and when I took the fire surround off to do this 2-minute job, I also touched up the paintwork on the wall around the surround. The dirty marks have been annoying me for ages. At the same time I touched up a couple of scuff marks in the study, where we used the same paint as in the lounge. It's drying very quickly, and already the patches hardly show.

Off to declutter a cuppa :coffee: with DH, then some baking, I think.

Mumof2, it's good that you're getting the help you need.

Enjoy your M&S :coffee: on your loyalty card, Valli :rotfl:
