    DH was off today so I asked him to hoover our bedroom, the landing and stairs.

    So this evening I just had to dust and tidy our bedroom which for me is the quickest room of the week.:j

    Another batch of ironing sorted and hung up in the wardrobes and not a lot acheived apart from that. I am feeling particularly lazy this week, I think I;m in pre-holiday wind down mode!

    Going to write out some recipes cards, have a cuppa and listen to the radio.
    DS is snug in bed and DH is out playing cricket.

    Have a good evening everyone.
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

    Hello everyone,

    Managed to get quite a bit done today, even though i had the baby here. He had a sleep for an hour after lunch, so i took the oppertunity to clean the bathroom and toilets while i could, and as i finished work at 4.30 today, i was able to do an early dinner, and finish cleaning the kitchen afterwards. I also dusted the living room, while holding the baby, it took me a while, but the job got done!!!
    Ive hoovered around downstairs, and ive also emptied the hoover and replaced the filter, which is something ive been aiming to do for a while.
    Do have LOs here tomorrow, but no babies, so should catch up properly at some point - still have a hotspot 'pile' that really must be looked at - i know there are some bills that need paying in there!!!
    Hope everyone has a lovely evening,
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I've done ok today as I got 6 hours sleep last night and no-one woke me up being poorly or having a bad dream or needing a weewee! :D
    sorry to wander from flying a bit but what is it that makes me sit for anything up to three hours and watch CSI or NCIS?

    Argh I'm running out of places to declutter. I think everywhere has been done !!

    You missed some at my house!!!

    I got all carried away with myself and cleaned the kitcehn (apart from the floor and cooker) tonight after the chillies were in bed..

    Front room is like a demolition site though!! .. Must do that sometime!!

    I've done loads of washing.. in spite of the rain! and I am just SOOOOOO tired!!!!!!!! I have absolutely no energy.. I wonder if my anaemia is playing up again.

    You wouldn't want me to declutter for you, you'd find you had nothing left as everything got freecycled, sold or thrown out. Even my BF thinks that one day I'm going to freecycle or sell him. ;)

    I do have a little confession though, I got rid of a lot of stuff before we moved here, and then I got skint so I've not bought that much stuff, hence there wasn't that much to declutter !
