Dustykitten

Highland Lass you've done loads.

Second wash on the line
Been moving furniture i the LR with DS3 to see if we get a new sofa if the old one will fit in the other half of the room, looks ok. Been hoovering underneath it all and it is nearly all back.

Just having a cuppa then I'll finish in there and head down to the lakes with DS3 for a little while.

Nearly done - anyone know where the filter is in the washing machine? TIA for any replies May not get to it today as have piles of washing but would be useful to know for next time! Happy flying everyone

It'll vary, depending on the machine you have, but if it helps, on my old Zanussi there was a round twist-off "plug" at the bottom on the right, this was the filter. On my current Bosch I have to prise off a panel at the bottom of the machine (actually Mr LW does this, it's too stiff for me) and there's a similar round twist-off "plug" behind this, but on the left. Sorry I can't be more specific - but a word to the wise: have an old towel or other cloth to hand, as it tends to be a bit of a wet task.;)

Level three
Sort out the your most cluttered drawer do you need all that stuff?
Wipe over the hob

I have also polished in the LR............OH had said that DSD left it clean, what he meant was, that she had hidden everything so it "looked " tidy!!! Eventually found some stuff today including DD's lunch box!! It wasn't actually clean.......I found chocolate and sweets on the windowsill behind the curtain and on the desk and the coffee table looked as though it had been wiped with a dirty cloth!!!
All looking better now though

Dinner on, 3rd load in the machine and I should be doing some ironing............HHI at 4:30 anyone?

I'm SAT HERE COUNTING TO 100
I have a new neighbour it is a beautiful day in Lincoln I have stripped all my beds washed and hug the sheets out to dry I have all my windows open
My new neighbour had just lit a great big bonfire my house is full of smoke and my sheets all stink this is about the last straw..............

Dustykitten

Sammi mine neighbour does that too. I think there should be a law about bonfires in daylight hours

WM filter mine is in a little door at the bottom front left

Just going to finish the LR hoovering and the hoover through hall, dining room and into kitchen.

Exhausted after the cycle to the lakes and it really hurt my knee; I have never been so unfit and I don't like it.

Get the hosepipe out and spray him with it while screaming 'fire fire' Plead ignorance and say you thought it was children because no one would be inconsiderate enough to light a bonfire during the day while their neighbours had clean laundry out.

Hi all

Thank you, thank you for your kind wishes. Unfortunately I don't have a good feeling about how I've done, but never mind. Maybe one day I'll be able to return to it.

Did some bits before I went

HHI
Wiped kitchen surfaces and dining table.

Will look at lists and update later

It's been a long winter Dusty. You'll get fit as soon as you can get back outside again.

Commiserations Decogecko. It may not be as grim as you think, and at least you've given yourself a shot at the dream job.

Flying has been a real struggle today, but Dog has been much better since I replenished her calm-down-dear puffa thing and upped her par@cetemol. Dry nights two nights in a row, too. Good Doggie.
