    Oh Bossy, how lovely!
    Right. I am going to the fridge. I hate the fridge. It's my least favourite job and I usually get DH to do it :o. But tonight, I want him to continue painting so I'll have to do it.
    Wish me luck.
    I've had a lovely sleep. 11-15.30. Will set me up lovely for my nights :).
    Declutter mission still ongoing with the cuppa soups being slurped at work.

  • I've done better today than I thought I was going to:

    Airer stripped, clean stuff folded and put away, not enough which needs ironing to bother putting the steam generator on
    WM x2 and both on airer
    Tidied kitchen, wiped surfaces and small appliances
    Tidied LR a bit, plumped cushions
    Vacuumed throughout
    Filled in my driving license application for my name change
    Filled in my name on the electoral roll form which arrived today
    Filed a pile of other paperwork bits
    Knitted an inch on the leg of my sock

    Vertigo still coming in waves, makes me want to lie down but that's when the spinning is worst :(

    Off to make spag bol for dinner. I only have one pack of mince to feed 6 so there will be onions, carrots and mushrooms aplenty to bulk it out. DH says his kids won't eat it with veg. Looks like they're going hungry then :p

    Dogs have had their afternoon game and a good brush, and eaten their dins (they eat at 16:00). I've given the microwave a good scrub, done all the kitchen work surfaces with anti-bacterial spray and cleaned the hob (was a bit grubby after Mr LW did fried eggs at the weekend and didn't clean properly behind himself).

    Two Dys0n-cylinders of dog hair removed from the floor of the bungalow - and that was just a quick pass to pick up the worst!

    I put the dogs in the garden while I Dys0ned because Bailey tries to bite the wheels; looked around myself, and there they were, entering the lounge. Evidently Bailey can open the back door himself.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    my mum had a lovely staffie cross he could open doors so she had to turn her handles upside down so in her house you had to lift the handles rather then push them down in the downstairs doors

    DD is home at last. They over ran at singing club by 30min and she 'forgot' to text to let me know until she finally answered my 3rd phone call :mad: I have work at 6pm but its only 1 customer so I'll go on my own and leave DD in to do her homework.

    I spent the afternoon tackling the shredding, filled a binbag so left it at that for today. The noise was starting to give me a headache :( vacuumed through the whole of downstairs, juggled some washing and did some work. Not sure what I'll be doing after we've eaten but I foresee an early night.

    Personal:
    Shredding - HHC
    Writing x 9 pieces
    Toots list
    Scanning (old documents from pre-2006)
    Ironing
    Colour hair
    WM: trainers, door curtains, towels, bedding x2
    Nag DD to get all her homework done.
    Weed yard.
    Call oven repair peeps / get oven fixed - after bills have been paid.
    Call landlady. - after oven is repaired.

    I have a friend who's just posted on facebook that her dog opened her bedroom door and ate all her shoes, she has none at all to wear now lol :rotfl:

    We put a board across the stairs (used to use a baby gate but it won't fit in our bannisters) so the dog can't go upstairs, unless it's a special occasion like I'm ill and she's allowed in the bed with me :D
    We have a rule of no shoes on the floor as well, thou OH always takes her shoes off in the front room and leaves them, she's been lucky so far but I will have no sympathy if they end up spread across the floor in chunks!
