Amazed at how much I've achieved

This is me, far too often! It never ceases to surprise me just how much I can get done when I actually, y'know, do stuff :rotfl:

Another shiny bathroom here, I buffed it all dry with an old towel so it really is gleaming :cool: I left bleached-soaked loo-roll on some mould-stained silicone sealant overnight but it hasn't shifted it, I'm going to nip into homeba$e to get some ready mixed grout to repair a little bit on the bathroom windowsill which is breaking down so I may look for some HG mould remover there too, it's apparently great stuff.

Now to retrieve the toolbox so I can measure the bathroom floor and get that timer cover off...

I have hoovered the stairs

I am now waiting for my washing to finish.... But while i am waiting i should be cleaning the backgarden, actually i will go it now, then i can make the most of this weather and maybe get the next half a load done too.

Okay, have completed 2xHHI and put the second load in the WM, as well as chucking 24 toiletries / bottles from the bathroom, cleaning the floor and leaving the spray-on shower and toilet stuff to soak in. Have also ordered a new shower curtain as ours is still looking gross even after a spin in the WM.

Thanks to you guys I now have a very clean bathroom. I really hope I can keep up (at least until Wednesday )

I will go back and re-read so that I can understand a little more.

I'm back. Scoffing my dinner! Starving as I didn't feel like breakfast .
So, I have done.... Bathroom cleaned including shower screen, inside shower and the bath. Have also cleaned out toothpaste from top cupboard. Was going to do bottom cupboard but stood up and went all sweaty so think I may do that later when my bp has a chance to improve.
Folded 2 loads washing, one in TD just finishing, one on line sparkling and one in WM waiting space to dry.
I have also done a whole border of weeding (not the best but a huge improvement) and have the smaller one with more plants and less weeds to do later.
Downstairs still a bit of a disaster but getting better rapidly.
After lunch, I will be playing sock mahjong for HH if anyone wants to join me at 1pm?
Sorry to those who have lost Uncles and Aunts. Hugs for those who have had squabbles with OH's. Gentle hugs to those who are poorly or sore. Sticks for the BD's to chase and spoons in the pot by the door.
Piggers, she's scrumptious. Hope her hip scan goes ok. Or is that someone else, now I'm wondering if you said squeak? .
Right, coffee, get in ma belly!

If our shower curtain is looking a bit grotty, I soak it in a bucket of mild bleach solution (couple of good squirts in a full bucket of warm water) overnight and then wash -- it usually comes up spotless, even hair dye comes out. For a good job, really, as I always get dye everywhere, hence the need for new bathroom flooring :rotfl:

Timer batteries changed, it's ticking away nicely now Off to the retail park, see ya laters, alligators :cool:

Oh Fizz, meant to say.. We've had a dehumidifier for about 2 years now. It's cumbersome and takes up loads of space but is worth it's weight in gold. We had awful black mould producing damp in our downstairs loo and it was freezing. This keeps it at bay, keeps it warm and dry and I'm sure actually lowers our energy bills. It has an auto setting so if the air drops below a set humidity, it switches off. I empty the bucket about every other day, sometimes every day. I may get another one for upstairs now that we have a shower or may need to relocate this one but will see how we get on this winter.

Kaz it is the pixie off for the hip scan.. she is fine it is just a precaution due to DD1's dysplasia..

I need to go to optician and collect OH's glasses and DD3's and take Squeaks for repair.. I need 4 buttons from wool shop and a bank statement and an appointment to open Pixie an account.

2 loads of washing on the line 2 in machines and I've made a start on Spam's fishy hat..

Best find the appointment letter and brush my hair!

I'm in this week with a vengeance (FIL coming to visit in 10days:eek:)

Personal challenges - _pale_ C2K challenge. Not even started :mad: but not doing too badly with the little bit of pampering.

Half way through bathroom. Just the :eek:mop:eek: to face. Kitchen all nice and clean - although - has anyone got any ideas about where a 1/4 tsp measure might have hidden itself? There can't be that many places but we can't find it
