    Morning everyone :wave:
    School run in a wee bit then back home to get stuck in.
    Shouldn't be too bad today here. WM leaked last night so no laundry today, thankfully it's well caught up so we should survive! Didn't manage to get ironing done yesterday, got caught up trying to sort my broadbean out with the lovely Mr BT, what a nightmare and we've only had it with them since end of last month :eek:

    Today I want to see if I can get out to do windows, though it's looking dodgy again, more white stuff fluttering in the air :( failing that I can sit in here nice and warm and get my organiser sheets printed off for my own CJ :D:)

    Have a good morning, catch you all later

    Morning stuff almost done as builder is already here. Need to gee DS3 along and then do a bit of tidying upstairs.

    Bossy it sounds as though you dealt with the matter very sensibly, even though it was such a shock for you. Well done you, and I hope the little chap is back to being his normal lovely self today.

    I hope Mr Ionafan is enjoying his first week of retirement.

    In addition to all the vacuuming, a bit of dusting, the shower room and a room change yesterday, I managed WM x 3 and out on the line, where it stayed, freeze-drying overnight. I've still got the stairs to do today and a visit to the chalet to sort out some photographs for the dreaded Fleabay.
    Better is good enough.

    Paid stuff now beckons, but the only things left from the list for after it are mopping the hall floor and cleaning the downstairs loo sink (currently the pipe is frozen so I can't do it till it thaws and the standing water drains away). Will also take a proper lunch break today to do HHI.

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

    Morning :wave:

    Wow Dusty - have you been stalking me? Where have you hidden the camera in my house? Can't believe you instinctively know which are my grot spots this week.

    My pledge is to do both days lists as soon as I finish work about 1ish and report back before I meet a friend for a cinema trip at 7pm tonight.

    Must shift my butt out of bed now and shower.

    Laters ladies.

    Hi All :hello:

    I am in this week, albeit a bit late, thanks to Dusty for this weeks list. I am still in a bit of a muddle, a lot of things from LR still in hallway, cannot get rid of these until we have the money in a few weeks to get the new LR unit & plan this weekend is to paint hall & use old pics etc from LR as they were too expensive to get buttons for them on ebay & I still love the colours in them. I will do what I can, a few things I can probably put on freecycle, if I get rid of them, I can clear my hall sideboard & get pics on adtrader or gum tree for selling. It is all a bit of a vicious circle.

    Hope you are all well, will try get a wee read back of fred as my paid stuff is totally dead just now, trying to make yourself look busy when you have nothing to do is very hard!!!
