I'm getting there. Downstairs really isn't that bad now I've shifted the majority of the Christmas stuff, and where DDs tree is I've already cleaned before I put it back there before

Off to put this rubbish out, then swap washing over and do the dishes :wave:

LW I will indeed tell him what you said, ive been on at him for weeks to get it done, maybe a virtual kick up the jacksy from Aunty LW might do the trick lol x

ZCC thanks, hope your little doggie was/is ok. Thats interesting about the tags, we were going for a metal one, but would have had her name on the front and contact details on the back, but we wont now, just the latter and surname x

Ive decluttered 1.5 hrs sleep eek! Mind you its probs a good job or else id never stay up till midnight, not that we celebrate as such but I do like to open the front door and listen to the ships on the tyne hoot their horns lol

Getting ready to go to in-laws, its nephews 7th birthday so were going for over for that.

Welcome new people :hiya: x

shortbird, omg thats so cute. Right backatcha, all the best for you and yours x

GI healing vibes for your friend. What terrible news over the holiday season.

I've made more progress and can cross a few more tasks off the list -

Descale kettle, iron, taps etc DONE
30 minutes to spare....
Sweep/mop/hoover floors DONE
Wipe kickboards or legs of cupboards and tables DONE
30 minutes to spare....

Declutter one cupboard
Dust any furniture in the dining Room DONE

Extras

Ive also wiped down all the kitchen cupboard doors, drawer fronts, shelves and trim.
Descaled the bathroom showerhead (using the descaler and water from the kettle and then put the rest down the loos as they always seem to grow a ring of scale just above the water line.
Been to Mr T's shop (yuck, not my idea of fun)


I've just sat down for a minute with a cuppa and then I have a handful of things to iron so my washing and ironing baskets will be empty.


We shall have an early supper and then we have some of our neighbours coming for nibbles and a glass so we can welcome 2014 together.


Tomorrow looks like a wet day here so no New Day's walk for us. Hope the list will be quite gentle.

Lovely clip, short bird.:A

Mr LW is now home (they finished at 15:00 today) so I'm signing off for the day now.:o

Wishing Flyladies, Flygents, Flychildren and Flyfurries everywhere a Happy, Prosperous and MSE New Year,:beer:

Thanks embb, my boy was fine - we were both so very lucky. He's fine with fireworks too (just as well as I pretty much live on a tank training ground with mortars being fired all hours!) but wishing all of those with pets a safe and happy evening.

Well, aside from ironing the duvet and vacuuming the bedroom, I'm pretty much all done. Am going to do my usual on NYE - bath, bed early with a good book, wake up at dawn and go for a walk! Weird, I know, but I like to start as I mean to go on - sober, awake and tidy, instead of hungover, asleep and a complete mess! I might pop by a little later, but just in case, Happy New Year _party_ to one and all, be kind to yourselves, you are all worth it. xxx

I'm sorry about your friend GI. Hugs for you and for her, to go with the healing vibes.

Surprised myself hugely by actually wanting to fly today, and enjoyed doing so. This may be a first. Half the kitchen floor was swept and washed, one mini-load on, another waiting to go in, massive sort and tidy in my office, kitchen, dining room and cupboard under the front steps, food things dealt with, recycling of [STRIKE]useful stuff[/STRIKE] carp started in the attic.
