    It's been a bitty morning as I don't wish to start deep cleaning the bathroom until after the grocery delivery that is due between 11 and 1. You can guarantee that i will have just put on my marigolds and the delivery will arrive :rotfl:

    So, I have changed the bedding and put sheets in the wm. Dusted/polished bedroom. Ensured fridge is ready for new bits, rescheduled hair appointment to Feb, and handed over return parcel to courier. Will make a start on the ironing shortly.

    Then after lunch i will make a start on the bathroom.

    Thanks for the company, Peony. I've not really stopped since, but also had a bitty morning. Lots of the dailies and extras done, appointments added etc, but I've still not made it into the bathroom. :o

    OH will be here for his lunch soon, so I'll make a start on that and then join him. This afternoon is for studying until it's time to collect DS2, although I may squeeze in another HHC if I need a break.

    Hi all! Got a few bits done this morning but nothing from the list yet :mad:

    Went for a run, washed and dried one load of laundry, and done the weekly shop.

    Just sitting down to lunch of LO soup (itself made from leftover green veggies) some fried potato croutons made with yesterday's leftover roasters and a dollop of ricotta LO from Sat dinner. Feeling very OS and virtuous! :p

    Will tackle bathrooms after lunch... Promise... ;)

    Fly-vibes all round methinks!
