ETA: Have now read list. Unable to do any of this room today as between nights. No carpet, full of tools and decorating equipment and bedding not needing changed yet.
I will make this Fridays job as I change bedding at the weekends anyhoo. DH is the one who needs to sort out his clothing so his can be done on Sunday when I'm at Crealy with the cubs. Instead of attempting the list, I may try to flick around with a paintbrush before bed in the morning. Probably not though !

I didn't complete the challenge yesterday as I came home from work with a very bad pain in my foot. I think its the peroneal tendon, I completed the RICE treatment and its feeling a lot better today, I walk about 8 miles a day for work so hoping it doesn't flare up again. Fortunately I had recently had a good sorted out in the living room so I didn't miss much and will hopefully catch up on the extra bits tonight. I really need to sort out the bedroom, there is clutter everywhere.

Not doing that great again. Yesterday all the kids were off with the strikes and one school told me they were open so my son was sat waiting for his transport until I called up and got 'Oh you didn't get a call?' No... Only one part of their school was striking but they'd decided to close the whole place due to 'health and safety' Today they have a training day... arghhghgh

So two out of three kids should be off to school soon and I'll try and catch up with the lists.

I did manage to finish the kitchen and mop it though
