any takers want to join in a 2 hour challenge?

mrs-mp, I'm a bit late joining in with you, but I'm going to disappear out to the shed and reckon it will take me at least 2 hours to clear it, so will check in again when I've done. If you check in first, you will know that I'm willing you on!

Well done happy Valli :T

CY - I know what you mean about DH at home. Mine was off work yesterday after GA on Wednesday, back in today (phew!) and taking leave next week: I hope he gets more done each day than he achieved yesterday

Morning All :wave:

Well I managed to get done what I had planned to do last night, so lots scored off my list, DH is hovering stairs & landing for me today as its usually covered in cat hair from her running up & down like a wild horse, doesn’t bode well with my allergies! Someone was looking for a fire & surround last night on Freecycle, so I made the decision to offer mine to them, she is delighted & coming on Friday, so now the decision has been made, the LR is getting decorated! We hummed & hawed about it, so wallpaper will be stripped, curtains taken down at the weekend & painter & plasterer called in to give me quotes. I am changing stained wood to gloss white & its too big a task for me DH to take on, I don’t mind doing a door at a time but the LR has a lot of stained wood, the full staircase is wood so its a big task!!!

DS’s room is still very tidy so just his bed to change & a wee quick tidy up, DD’s room is pretty much just clothes lying around & her desk is the usual dumping ground for all sorts of carp! I will do our bed as well as kids beds after dinner, then my ME time will be a bubble bath for 30 minutes with my book. I have text DH to ask him to strip the beds & hand all duvets out on rope to air, even though it is freezing, it will freshen them up, I can re-do beds when I get home.

LW – Hope you are feeling ok now & the dizzy spells have passed, if not –get them checked out.
Kaz – Hope DS is ok?
Mumof2 – She had a good time, got a tour round the studios and everything, the school got invited by the BBC, and a bus was organised to take them as its about 45 minutes from where we stay
Soappie - :hello: nice to see you popping in
MrsG – Enjoy your weekend away
