 ^^^ Wot she said, and also to Sequeena. Welcome back all of you.
 Thank you Dusty for last week's list (f***** miserably) and Natty for this week's. Everything on tomorrow's has either been done or will need to be completed by the time we flit down to the ferry again for another trip to source le plonk from Brittany.
 Anyone seen Lamewolf lately? Missing her, too.
 I think I am going to declutter my mother's combi oven. There is a local charity that has a resident electrical chap who might be able to fix it, or there is another charity that resurrects electricals that I support, usually by buying stuff from them. After a fix, this would sell really well. I need to give it a third clean and let it go. OH and I need to have not his, not mine, but ours. It's time to move on.
 I'm going over to the chalet tomorrow to pick up the microwave over there we inherited with the chalet so that ding cuisine dog-sitter lodger can feed himself and that'll give us breathing space. On the way, I'll dump OH's old unfixable one after deciding how to declutter the bigger one that doesn't work, doesn't fit anywhere and has revealed a lot to me about what 'clean enough' means.
 Top, middle layer and stairs dy$oned, kitchen floor washed and then rewashed after Devil Cat pulled the roast chicken off the side and chomped lumps out of it while we were watching Fargo. Little s*d.Better is good enough.0

            Thanks Dusty for the lists last week and Thanks Natty for running this week I'm in again for this week. I'm in again for this week.
 I did most of kitchen whilst cooking roast dinner today and did WUWUPA afterwards, together with worktops.
 Have no crossy-out thingy so if gone it's done.

 Hello all. After battling through and doing many, many wash loads on Friday, I was out all day with DS. Neither DH or DD could find it within them to fold up any washing so there it sits all over the floor. Muggins can do it today I suppose.
 Feel grumpy as ASBO cat woke me at 5:18 with a dead bird. Took me a while to warm up again after trekking out to the back garden to the green bin for disposal.
 I did a brief menu plan in my head whilst shopping on Saturday but have failed to account for DH's fast days.
 Sounds like there are lots of spotties around? I hope they aren't too itchy for the poor little mites? Hope everyone else is well enough?
 Right, must crack on. I have mountains to do today and would much rather be doing nothing!
 Eta: took me half an hour to get sides clear and wiped down. Seems like every dish we own was dirty on the side . Have now poured away my hot water and realised I still need it!

 If it is already gone from the list it doesn't need doing or I did it last week (cleaned the oven and hob thoroughly). I've already done most of my paid work (yesterday) so I've got a head start on the week.Proud to have dealt with our debt. DFW Nerd 1474
