    Great stuff roxy :j

    Well I bagged up all the washing, put the wm on, cleared clutter from the landing, hoovered the landing and then the Hoover broke! It keeps chewing through belts. There's a feint aroma of plastic!

    Landing looks better. Just gutted I won't be able to do the stairs til later.

    Off to check the fire alarms. Don't skip this. Because of this thread I realised neither alarm was working before. :eek:

    And do some dusting.

    15 minutes to do this tops :j

    DH asked to fetch another smoke alarm this evening as one is broken. Just finishing my coffee and then I'll get started.

    So your plans to get a new one/new battery this week, yes?

    WM on
    yesterday's laundry put away
    kitchen tidied up
    half the handwashing done

    Off for a shower next and then I think straight to town with hopefully time to fly a bit when I get back.
