    A feeling of CBA here today :o
    I did do the horrible food shopping this morning, I hate doing it on my own. Spent more than I should so budget rejigged :o
    Kitchen S&S'd and a cake in the oven for drama tonight. I had a fb message chat with Mr O&O while I had lunch, then loaded the DW.
    Once the cake is done (15 mins approx.) and is cooling I'll go and make a start on my room. I'm watching Miss Marple which I paused while mixing ;)

    Floordrobe cleared :o some items for charity bagged up, dusted round, cleaned windows, a carrier's worth of rubbish/recycling cleared. Dvd's re-boxed and put away.
    Dcat1 stubbornly refusing to move off bed so I can strip it, dirty looks given from both parties. I'll get the hoover out in a bit that'll move her ;)
    Landing mirror (and bathroom mirror) and window cleaned. Landing windowsill scrubbed! And if I find out which disgusting little troll keeps wiping make-up all over it she's going to know about it! :mad:
    DW unloaded.
