    Boston_UK Don't feel bad on my account darling, I am in Holland so one hour ahead of you all. So it's not like I'm very active in the very early morning or anything.

    did a swish and swipe of kitchen and living room. Hoovered and mopped the floor and so it looks and smells presentable now. Not that the man would care I think but it makes me feel better. :D

    Let's hope the meeting goes well, and he doesn't try to rip me off! :eek:

    Morning all.

    Not done a single thing yet, apart from boil the kettle!

    My list for today is

    Clean kitchen
    Clean utility room
    Clean dining room
    Clean lounge
    Sort washing and put WM on
    Consult packing list

    and whatever else crops up during the day.

    Better get a wriggle on and do some of it, even if the first thing will be making a cuppa.

    Take care all
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

    Slow start - Charlie has developed a cold. He has been pleasant enough, but that spoilt the idea of taking him swimming for the 1st time today.

    I've just got him off for a nap, so having a quick cuppa, and then will see how i go. I'm still rather sleepy but i can't afford to give in to it today. So i will force myself in a minute.

    hoover
    stairs
    ironing
