Morning
Beautiful day here, so decided to wash all the bedding, kids instructed to strip their beds, if they don't it doesn't get washed! The girls are 19 and 16 so it will depend on what time they surface as to when I get theirs, but if its too late it will not get done;)
The kitchen is looking much better, just going to scrub the baking trays which I left soaking overnight, and then will get cracking with todays jobs.
have a good day everyone

Morning all!
As predicted, Monday was a write off -- got back from decluttering DSS, flopped onto bed and watched a couple of West Wings before going to PIL's for dinner with the family. Think the only job I achieved was the washing up and WM x 1, but I have had a mammoth sleepand I am peachy keen to catch up again. Ergo…
Kitchen
Clean and tidy surfaces
Sweep and mop
Wipe door handles
Clean out and organise main dry food cupboard
Living room
Dust all surfaces
Vacuum
Clean coffee table of madness (glass, UGH)
Clean out hammies
Laundry
WM x 2 if there's enough drying space
ALL the blippin' ironing
Bathroom
Clean the carpet around the loo, again, whilst silently cursing DSS
Clean the bath
S&S sink and toilet
Empty all the bins
Vacuum our bedroom
Clean all my makeup brushes (big job in itself, I have bazillions)
Home all day today and OH has informed me he's gymming every morning (believe it when I see it) and probably working late every evening this week so I should have oodles of time to get through this whilst munching a frog or two too.0 -
Still at the caravan, poured with rain yesterday so we stayed in, today is bright and sunny so we are going to a nearby bird sanctuary/nature reserve
on the flying front I have washed a tea towel and bleached the loo
Hope you all have a good day!!Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0
