    Hi again,

    Managed to get quite a bit done but then a friend rang for a natter which was nice and we've made plans for family get together over school Easter hols which will be lovely :D So thought I'd have some lunch and a cuppa then try for another tidying/cleaning session...

    So far I have:
    DW loaded run and emptied
    WM loaded run and emptied - washing hanging in laundry room
    S&S kitchen and bathrooms and floors swept
    Tidied LR

    So, going to mop kitchen and bathroom floors, hoover through and dust the I think that'll be enough for my sanity ;)

    HHC starting at 2 o'clock anyone?
