  • 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.

    Should be interesting!

    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 it :o but I'll live with it and if it gets on my nerves it can replace the garage one which is a bit minging :o

    Right. Back to work.

    Oh - Honey Bear I've added a star, you have two (hurrah) do I owe you any more? Does anyone else need a star???

    Got some bits crossed off my list earlier then my friend came in for a cuppa (so good to see her out and about) so that took the rest of the morning.

    DS1 cleaning his car
    DH has landed so should be back in about an hour

    I'm avoiding doing Governor paperwork but know I must.

    I have cleaned the table and chairs, washed and dried the dishes. Sorted the fridge cleaned the microwave, folded clothes put them in the draws and reorganised everyones draws, i just need to wait for the bedding to be dry to remake the beds and give everywhere a hoover too, i think will mop the bathroom as well while am up there.

    next time i post my list i am going to take of ironing as every morning i iron Dd uniform and our clothes for the day, using a few towels over the ironing board but it is a pain to do.... Its more like 15minutes worth lol close enough tho.

    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.
