    Two bathrooms have had a deep clean. Will do the downstairs shower room tomorrow. Will also finish the main bedroom!
    Also did two hours in the garden. Turning the soil, edging the grass and moving some plants. It looks quite presentable now! It's only a small patch but was looking a little shabby!
    Got to take the cuttings to the tip tomorrow though. Our council has started charging to use our brown bin and take away garden waste. For such a small garden, it's such a waste and I really begrudge having to pay extra. Surely that's what council tax is for!

    I've lost my way on the thread the last couple of days. My lovely DS3 suffered a dislocated shoulder and has been in great discomfort. He was determined to go to school (Ofsted are in) and I've been running backwards and forwards with pain killing tablets.

    He's even more gutted now [STRIKE]our national laughing stocks[/STRIKE], football team are about to be sent home.

    Pilates was good tonight. I hurt muscles I did not know I possessed!

    Insurance assessor a due early next week. I am glued to the Fred from now on.

    Evening all

    About to head off to bed but decided to update my list first. Tomorrow I'm going to split my day into chunks as I still have the break down of my invoices onto the accounts software to do but spending too long on them is not good for my brain unless I'm on a roll :o So hour challenges for me, HHC aren't worth it as it can take that long to sort through the loose papers for each campaign:rotfl: I will be more organised, each year is easier than the previous, by the time I retire I should have it running smoothly :p:rotfl:

    DD is out with ex on Sunday all day, so we're going to clean the house on Saturday. I'll spend Friday doing the odd jobs like vacuum packing stuff ;)

    Good morning everyone, my OH has had a week off work and has done quite a bit, decorated the living room cleaned all the carpets done several runs to the tip so we are looking a bit neater and cleaner.

    Will strip the kids beds when they wake up and see what else I can knock off the list.

    Sadly the gas oven that was given to us has died so I have ordered a new one, I am off to clean the fridge.
