Food scoffed, tea quaffed. Time to get the dishes done so I can at least see the kitchen to clean it!
The dog needs flea treatment tonight, I usually deal with all the defleaing and worming, but last time the worming was due I was supposed to be away (didn't end up going but thats another story)
OH was panicking as she was worried she'd do it wrong or wouldn't be able to get the dog to eat the tablets.
So I've decided to get her to do it while I'm able to supervise, incase she ever needs to do it on her own again.

Kitchen done and mopped through rest of downstairs except conservatory. Plasterer gone now but I'll wait until roofer has been back (tonight) before I clean any more out there.
Do need to review fridge contents and meal plan but DS is getting sausage and mash tonight, I'll have leftover chicken curry from the other night.
New LR rug has arrived and I don't know if I like itbut I'll live with it and if it gets on my nerves it can replace the garage one which is a bit minging
Right. Back to work.

Not bad, got quite a bit done, put a wash on, dish mountain conquered and loads of stuff done off the list.
Feeling a bit weak now so going to sit down with a cuppa to recover, then will crack on with the rest when WM finishes its cycle.
