Afternoon! I'm on a go slow today - I really struggled to get up
WM nearly finished so that can go out in the lovely sunshine. I'm going to see 'Priscilla' at the theatre later - 5 p.m. show but Mum wants to go early so I'm leaving here soon after 2 and won't be back until 9 ish. Seems like a long time to be out and I have soooo much to do
Looks like my HHCs today will be very late!!
Exchange of contracts on both sale and purchase has been accomplished. Moving on 12th, so packing will start in earnest on Sunday - today I'm sorting removals and utilities (insurance is already done) and tomorrow I must swallow the frog that I've been chewing away at all week. DH is clearing his computer table
Still stressed, but very relieved
Yay :j Congrats - so pleased it's all gone through :T

After I stripped Ds's bed I upended it (to clean under it) and decided to nip to B&Q for new castors (because one is bent and jammed). Came back to find he has helpfully remade his bed (not vacuumed under it, though, which I was going to do) and is now revising in there and won't let me back in!:o
More washing now out. Cat toilet empties and washed and drying in sunshine.
Now re-thinking how I was going to progress- think kitchen next mught be a good move.

Congratulations Ionafan on Exchange - always the most worrying stage of the procress imho. Healing vibes for Mr I regarding the BD - endings are very difficult for some people.
House vacuumed top to bottom and the mop has been broken out to do all those bits of floor that required it - spectacular frog-avoidance of olympic proportions. I will now have to nibble on a tadpole or I will hate myself.Better is good enough.0 -
I had a successful morning and managed to do everything that I had planned.
My plan of action for the rest of this afternoon:
Collect ds from school
Hand the form into school
Surveys and daily work
Hang next load of laundry outside and get next load in wm
Do more work on organising the diary for next month
HHI
Tidy up the mess that dd made with her lunch
I think this is more than enough to do over the next couple of hours. I will be back later to update.0 -
