    My sis is coming today apparently.. but she has been saying that a week so I'm not holding my breath.
    Tesco delivery 10-12ish.. ooh need to check bank balance.. :eek: £4.87 .. don't think I'll be up to much this week! Never mind.

    Girls fed dressed and put outside, Squeak had a full on meltdown because she wants to go to Tesco.. it is her favourite place in the world!

    food and a cuppa and I shall crack on with my flinging.. there is an alcove in the back room I REALLY want to get my hands on.. I want to just bin everything in it TBH, it hasn't been touched in 2-3 years so I obviously don't need any of it!

    Just do it, Pigpen - be ruthless!

    My friend cancelled the powerwalk as her 2YO has a high temperature and won't let her leave his side - bless him.

    Instead, I walked the dog, did the dishes, WM x 1 which is now out on the line. Wiped the outside of the fridge and de-crumbed the inside. All worktops are clear and cleaned. Five things put away. Hob and small items wiped over. Made a cafetiere of coffee (instead of the instant stuff I usually have) and sat in the garden looking over the fields.

    Just waiting for my boss to drop the van off here, then I'm working from 10.

    It's great this getting up a bit earlier lark - who knew :o

    Monday - kitchen
    30 minutes to spare
    mop the floor
    Extras
    15 minutes on a job you've been putting off or in your Room of Doom
    Wipe your plants, water and feed them

    Tuesday - Living room/Dining Room/Family Room
    Only got 15 minutes
    27 fling boogie - rehoming items which are cluttering these areas
    Deal with any phone calls/appointments to make for summer holidays etc
    30 minutes to spare
    [STRIKE]Hoover [/STRIKE]and/or mop the floor
    Tidy bookcases/shelves
    Got an hour
    Wax/polish any furniture in need
    Wipe the legs of any furniture
    Extras
    Dust any flat surfaces
    Wipe finger marks off the walls
    [STRIKE]Wash throws/cushion covers/curtains whilst the weather is set fair[/STRIKE]

    Really need to take up the lounge curtains - they drag all over the floor and it's doing my head in :eek: Maybe later between jobs. That would be a huge frog. Not putting off the Tax Credit form, honestly!!!!!

    Have a lovely day everyone.

    {{{FLING}}} Mule on its way ...... caught it?

    Hoovered the kitchen and lounge floors - will run the mop over them so they can dry whilst I'm out at work. Off to marinate the diced lamb so it can do it's thing ready for the tagine for tonight's dinner.

    The van has arrived and I have my route list for today and tomorrow. Quite an easy route driving round the beautiful Lake District in the sunshine :j May also do some personal stuff as it's all on my route and will save my own petrol. ;)

    (((Hugs))) Dusty and Friend. V. well done and Gold Star to Bossy. Dental coping vibes to Mrs MP. *mule fling*

    I put the car through the car wash yesterday and then tackled the remaining seagull pooh splots which had set solid they'd been there so long. I'm going to have to retackle the RoD today - I realised last night OH has invited a work colleague to stay for pretty much the whole of next week, and the chalet will be occupied by a friend of his, which means R will be on the futon in my office. It is piled high with important stuff - again .... Doing 2 x HH ironing at the moment to clear the pile and then moving on to sorting. So much for the Frog, again. Hey ho.
    Better is good enough.

    back and still have a tooth, dentist said what is left is good healthy tooth so he said he would be happy to fill rather than pull AND best of all cos im tough i did it all without a needle so dont have a numb face. did hurt my purse slightly as its a NHS band 2 treatment so im about £50 lighter.
    thank you for the vibes.
    got 20 mins to fill before work so going to grab those bags of cuddlies out the attic hang the washing out and grab a cuppa
    SPC~12 ot 124

    In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind my friend, try to Be More Kind
