Ha knew I'd bore myself senseless filing, emailing, writing lists etc. Need to get up and move about as it is so cold so I'll clean the bathroom which is in dire need before doing any more paperwork.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

I went to work but was dispatched early because my lady had workmen in. No excuse not to get on with flying. I'll report back on any progress later...

I will edit as I go.....

You've clearly done a lot in a short time skinty :T Hope your four-legged visitor has gone for good.
You give me too much credit Ionafan, this room was decorated back in the summer and was left idle until Xmas when all that gibble was confined in there. I just helped the EX dismantle and move bed, and spent several hours passing drills, screwdrivers, nuts and bolts while he put puters back into a sembleance of normal operation (DD3 really needs a desk to do her homework at.....using my laptop is no good, internet history shows she gets bored after 15 minutes and ends up on youtube)..
It was just the cleaning that was all me :rotfl:The cold never bothered me anyway0 -
Well I've done nothing this morning except speak to my mum on the phone, went through the Kleene5e catalogue which is being collected today (£11 will be decluttered to that, but I'm hoping the 3 things I'm ordering will be worth the investment), transferred some money, put a wash load on and watched TV while reading the news/forums. I'm going to go wash up and do some more laundry as soon as I've had a hot drink, then I'll start the baking. I really fancy one of my spiced chocolate prune cakes, if I can find the recipe
I also want to see if I can squeeze in a practice go of something I want to try for DD's birthday cake. If I don't manage it today, then I'll just do it tomorrow instead
Well this isn't getting my hot drink made, never mind drank :rotfl: :wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
The two bedrooms I gave a good going over last week have been hoovered and dusted.
Bathroom cleaned and cabinet all sorted and washed out.
Lunch next and a HH sorting some bits out on my PC before another HH on both the bedroom an Governor filing.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
I have s&s the bathroom (I am going to try and keep on top of it)
I was up at 5am so started the washing, 6th and final load is in as I type so its just a case of getting it dry.
I cleaned the hop/grill/oven and WUDUPA.
I am going to take the hoover upstairs now and do the bedrooms/bathroom/stairs then I can sort the mop so I can do the bathroom..... All yous with steam mops things I have mop envy.0 -
Right. I have an hour so willl go hang the wet washing up on the airer and then crack on with the kitchen.

My morning was taken up at fat club (only 1/2 pound lose but better than nothing).
Airer emptied. Dog's blankets washed and currently in the TD and WM now on a cleaning wash, it was full of hair!
DW is on, cat litter changed and bathroom cleaned and floor swept.
A very bit parcel has turned up for DD1, I know what it is, it's a big food mixer she's brought me. It's my mother's day & birthday present this year. Goodness knows where it's going to live!!
Better get the kitchen sorted before DD1 gets home . . .0 -
