Ironing all away
Bathroom scrubbed -- used shampoo instead of bathroom cleaner to clean the bath and basin, result: sparkling clean, smells great, and I'm :money: because I won't use it for my hair, too drying so I'm seeing it as win-win-win!
Coffee table shined and tv unit dusted, everywhere else is still covered in DS2's birthday cards so you can't see the dust there
Lounge vacuumed
Little pile of paperwork cleared from our BR
WM on, including DS1's blazer which is covered in glue after one day. Sigh!
I'm jumping in the shower now, then slinging the wash load on the airer, off to the outlaws for dinner. All I need to do when we get home is wipe out the oven and rinse off the shelves. Productive day today, methinks0 -
Sorry for absence; am dealing with some stress of the feel-sick-every-time-I-think-about-it variety and really not been feeling able to put a coherent post together. Hopefully know more about my situation tomorrow, and Mr LW's on Thursday. Both health related. Forgive me, I don't want to say more, lest I burst into tears.

I use my gran's tip for help with ovens - when you have finished cooking/baking immediately stand a bowl of boiling hot water in there and SHUT THE DOOR. When you return later most of grease etc will wipe off with a dry cloth/towel
Paid work today so not much flying except WUDUPA from yesterday evening, breakfast, making pack-ups things, throw cleaner and bleach down loo, put away towels and fling open bed. More later

Still need to sort the uniforms and finish the list (not sure cooker will be done tonight, it's a full day job).

Memories are sweet, cherish it.”0 -
LW you and Mr LW are in my thoughts.
Didn't get much done this afternoon as Mr T delivery interrupted HHC and then I ended up putting it all away!
Did manage to do a little more paperwork though so that was good. DH came home early and we went for a walk in the sunshine! 8633 steps today!!!
Tomorrow will get up and going early - but at SW first thing so will try and do some before I go for my HHE and then catch up later.
HAve a good rest of evening everyone.July 16 £95/£200

Eek! My Landlord is next door, good job the house is reasonably clean and tidy. I'm in my pj's so i'm hoping he doesn't knock on the door. Also the patio is full of bags of garden waste that need to go to the tip!
