    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Washing up done except for my slowcooker pot, kitchen S&S, tea made (bolognese so I'm letting it sit for the day then I'll heat it up later - always tastes better that way ;)), Mr A phoned and refund sorted, @von emailed (cheaper than calling their 0333 number ;)), going to have some lunch, text a customer when I've checked something and then jump in the bath. Me being presentable for work is a priority, especially as its still light at 9pm now :o:rotfl: Then I'll start on the books. At least my computer has worked properly today and not got hung up doing its virus check at 64% so I can use that with hopefully no problems ;) Best get moving. I want to be in the bath by 1pm, not just running it. :wave:

    Feeling quite on top of everything at the mo. This thread has made such a difference to my house and my state of mind! I'm often down about the house. I am the only one who does anything and apparently have unrealistic expectations of living in a show home!! (When we have two young children) I always seem to get sidetracked with the dailies and let the other things slide but sitting in my living room knowing that I have dusted this week, my windows are clean, floors hoovered, table (and legs) have been wiped, ceilings dusted, sofa hoovered etc makes me feel:) relaxed. I Can ignore the toys and surface damage!! Long May it continue! Thanks everyone!

    WM-load of Mr LW's clothes done, dried and stashed in the airing cupboard.

    Debated whether to put the Dys0n round again, and decided not to; I did three passes with it on Monday after Jessie left, and she's back again this evening; she's moulting just now, so it'll be all over black hairs within an hour of her arriving. I'll give it a quick once-over each day she's here, and as thorough a go as I can Sunday afternoon, and it'll just have to do til we get back from holiday.
    Wendy I often feel my place looks tatty, but then, I have various dogs here, most of which moult prolifically. Dog hair is something I regard as "clean dirt" iyswim.:D

    We've got Mr LW's pal coming over tonight, too; he's going to be popping in while we're away also, to pick up the mail and generally ensure all is well.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    I don't feel I've been very productive, but i have built an enormous slide :D

    I've also cleaned my desk, checked and chased a works message, had visit from mum and made us all lunch, done a wash and collected dry stuff, put away what doesn't need ironing. Oh and made some carrots out of playdough :p

    Need to go collect DS soon and while they play on the new slide I will clean the fridge.

    The weather never did come nice here :( at least its dry for now...
