7 loads of washing done
3 lots through dryer
2 lots on the line and the rest on the airers.
4 lots through the DW


7 binbags to CS
1 binbag of shoes recycled


Can you tell??? No, of course not it is a futile exercise trying to make any kind of difference in here.. I could cry it is all such a waste of time.

I have spent a good deal of this year feeling like you do..... BUT I may just be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have managed to catch up (almost) on the washing and all the ironing is done (except what I washed today).


There is even one room looking half decent - sadly it's DD2's not mine....


So keep at it! Don't you dare give up! It's because of your inspiration that I'm still here...

Hello!
Not a lot today. Hoovered downstairs, washed a dishes (dishwasher broken), washed one load, done a little ironing. Bins emptied.
I need to tackle a little stains on a carpet in the lounge.

just_the_two_of_us

Not much done here to day - volunteering all morning and dozing all afternoon!
The November challenge - decluttering whole house (but not loft and garage as too cold) - I am pretty much decluttered now - and everything that has been decluttered is in one room waiting for a decision - hmmm- to learn to ebay?/ indoor car boot? or CS?

:undecided I am not up to making that decision at the moment as there are a number of factors to consider - no rush - it will wait until New Year.

The house feels so much clearer and the paperwork frog has now been given its own box home and I delve in there every time I pass so it will not be around for much longer!!

Keep going everyone - we are all doing brilliantly but it does sound like some need a group hug - so here is one for all who need it xx.:grouphug:

Well done just the two of us on the decluttering, I'm still so fast from that.
Some washing up done, back to the ironing.

Evening all.

Its Saturday night, I'm child free so I am off to the take-away in a minute to get myself something to have with a bottle of wine Ex was delayed coming to get DD so I said she could help me do some cleaning. So she decided that she had to sweep the front of the house, clean the brass, wash down the door/paintwork and was in the middle of cleaning the windows when Ex arrived :rotfl:Oh she also stripped her bed, juggled some washing, and vacuumed through downstairs. She kept asking for jobs to do so while she was keen I let her do stuff. She won't be back until about 5pm tomorrow, ex is taking her to a huge carboot, out for a pub lunch and then to the cinema. I'll put something suitable on for tea once the shopping has been delivered but its looking like I have a weekend of Christmas decorating to get on with

I'm working on what I'm going to do for my window this year. Just sorting out a picture of santa in his sleigh and reindeer, then I need to decide on snowmen and stockings and I think I will have everything prepared ready to start tomorrow

Personal:
Ironing

Monday ~ Lovely Living Room, Happy Hall and Safe Stairs
Tuesday ~ Kitchen and dining room
Wednesday ~ Master Bedrooms and Landings
Thrilling Thursday - Bathrooms
Friday!!~ those frightening kids rooms!

I've ignored the extras I might do some in passing, but apart from ironing I am all up to date. There's a Mr A delivery booked for tomorrow afternoon and I'm going to leave laundry until Monday night when DD brings her PE kit home as it'll probably need fumigating :rotfl:

Right, off to put on some shoes, find some money and go get myself something to relax with tonight.
