    Extra challenge:
    • Wipe down the doors Started doing this.
    • Empty those smelly bins. Already been emptied this morning by mum.
    • Clean that cupboard under the sink!!! This one's really important, ours is full of cleaning products and it's a mess. I tried and realised I couldn't really do much about it.
    I also cleaned out the used teabag pot, dusted the living room, wiped the sofa and chair, cleaned one half of the patio door and put a curry on in the slow cooker.

    More washing done today - making the most of the lovely weather and washing everything in sight (well, almost!!)

    Nearly sorted for the return to work tomorrow - thankfully, we have 2 INSET days so I can ease myself in with the planning, etc.

    Kitchen not looking too bad - aiming to finish the list in a
    HHC 5:30 - 6:00

    if anyone wants to join me
    Shame you can't make the meet bossy, mumto5, jazee & CY (btw Alan Partridge film was hilarious, I loved it!) Glad to hear you can make it frodders, ionafan, juliejim, FBO, deco, rebecca & shortbird - thanks for the link to tourist info). If I've missed anybody, apologies, please correct me! My train fare from mid Kent to Birmingham is £11.50 each way :money: I can't believe it. It costs more than that for an off-peak return to London alone, how can it be so cheap?? (not that I'm complaining, just amazed)

    I'm amazed too! Similar situation - return train to Birmingham is costing less than a day return to London WITH my Railcard discount!

    Looking forward to it :D
