Fingers cross for GI's OH.

Dog walked
One washing pile returned to cottage while showing it to a potential lodger
Kitchen floor swept
Printer being savaged by repeated cleaning process as it's been playing up
Bottles of film suncream allocated to chalet, holiday and house - and that's the end of the film gibble in the kitchen. Hurrah!

Morning all

Welcome new people & welcome back returners :j

I'm crossing everything for GI's DH at his interview.

The s*dding chuckle brothers are back :mad: I was alerted by the sound of scraping metal and shouts of 'EH?' - I rushed to the window and my heat sank to see their van parked outside. They appear to have erected scaffolding from my NDN but one's side, rather than from my side. So, another day without washing out & with the LR doors closed. I can, however, still hear the doddery old gits through my double glazing without my hearing aids - and I've got over 50% hearing loss!! :wall:

I'll continue in the kitchen when they finish their break (they sit in their van outside my kitchen window), one just can't clean when one is being gurned at :cool:

*cupboard sorting going well
*kitchen declutter done in preparation for actual cleaning
*DW emptied, reloaded & set off again

*breakfast scoffed & cleared away

Dusty I hope your headache goes soon x

Have a good day all!

I could well be in but possibly not until tomorrow, I had the busiest weekend ever with my BFF preparing for the christening, becoming a fairy godmother and cleaning up the buffet afterwards, exhausting but worth every aching muscle. I came home and gratefully collapsed into bed, after ironing the clean bedding, making bed up and unpacking my weekend bag. Not for long though as DSS decided to be violently ill all over the bathroom and it took me an hour to clean it all up. I asked OH what he'd eaten and his reply was "pain au chocolat for breakfast, chocolate tart when we had coffee, pizza and a chocolate fondant at Ronnie Scott's, a Mars duo on the train home and a creme egg before he went to bed"

And somehow, shockingly, he was sick!! I know it was OH's stag weekend and he wanted to spoil his son but SERIOUSLY?! And just to complete the moan, DSS is 16, can he not get his head IN the loo?! SIGH.

Anyway, my whole body hurts as I am so tired. And now we need to drive to Monmouth to deliver DSS to his mum who is on holiday there. A four hourish round trip is not something I need today.

Thanks for posting Dusty!
Going to get started on this again, we had builders in last week so I pretty much gave up on all but the basics!
Our dining room is currently full of Temporary Lodger's stuff, so I'm not going to brave in there today!

Today's frog- cleaning the bathroom cupboard (covered in bits of ceiling) so I can start putting the bathroom back together!

Edit: Bit of a fail on the list today, but I did make a casserole, do epic piles of laundry including drying and putting away, and some general tidying around the house as I went along. Better luck next week

Clean the sink and slush the drain out - will do once all the dishes are washed.

I've also cleaned out the fridge, put the breakmaker on, weeded the front when I put the recycling out and munched some grapes.

Now I'm going to sit back with a coffee and watch something for HH until the WM or breadmaker is finished.
