    Hugs to Mrs M and her MIL.

    Where did today go? Actually I was late to work this morning. I decided to strip DSs bed before work and started faffing around with various other things then suddenly realised I had left it really late to make myself presentable and get out of the door! Very embarrassing.

    Working off my own lists so have done the bathroom, hoovered upstairs, hoovered the kitchen and utility, taken the dog for a walk (and bathed him when we came back), helped DS make biscuits for school, changed Ds's bed and swished the duster around upstairs. Oh and acted as referee between the boys when one kicked the others football into next doors nettles.

    Got one of the MIND collections bags and filled it already, its a charity close to my heart and I can get rid of some clutter too. Happy days.

    PJs on next I think.

    Evening all

    Only just back from cricket, just going to get DS3 settled into bed and then I'll sort the list out (once I've thawed out).

    I made the more urgently needed resources for the course today and DH took the parcel into town to catch the post just after 5 pm :D
    Nine Old Wives enjoyed a beautiful sunny evening in a garden jampacked with unusual and colourful plants.
    I've brought in the washing and must put it all away before I crash into bed - hoping for an early night tonight, since I didn't have zzz this afternoon!

    Girls FINALLY decluttered to bed!! They have been awful the last few weeks getting Dot to bed is nigh on impossible.. if she goes to bed at 7 she is up at 2 .. she drives us crazy!

    Washing all done again... I am 'window shopping' for sofas.. :eek: I am desperate for one in here, mine is trashed.. might check out the local SH places, see what they have.

    This room which was almost tidy earlier is absolutely destroyed again!! I swear these girls are whirlwinds!

    My kitchen is swept, de-toyed and all the recycling out.

    Mog has his op tomorrow.. :(

    Happy with today, considering I was at work all day. Can't believe how disgusting the wm drawer was. Had the bleach out and a toothbrush. Then put some bleach in the drawer and put it on for a cycle with nothing n it! Don't know if that's the right thing to do but hey ho! Also did about 2 1/2 hours of ironing tonight as I had let it pile up!!! Just the last few bits to do tomorrow! I will sweep and mop the floor tomorrow as it didn't look too bad tonight!!!

    Phew! I didn't think I was ever going to make it this week......DW leaked water all over kitchen floor today, was very worried as I thought I had a burst pipe under the tiling - DD1 helped me get the worst of the water up before the EX arrived to inspect the damage :eek: hence where stale water smell had been coming from.....not from lack of flying as I had been accused :eek:

    But as a result lots of oods and soods got sorted out and we are going to finish off tomorrow (aka in a few hours time!)

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Only got 15 minutes

    [STRIKE]Clean the sink, drainer and taps
    Wipe the work surface you can see[/STRIKE]
    30 minutes to spare
    [STRIKE]Hoover and mop the floor[/STRIKE] including removing all the kick boards, dragging out all the appliances and cleaning underneath
    Sort out and wipe out the fridge ......kinda......had a chuck it all in whoopsie smoothie about an hour ago!
    Got an hour
    Clean the WM filters and drawer
    Wash the window
    [STRIKE]Wipe over the hob and oven door[/STRIKE] and back, sides and sockets
    Extras
    Clean some shoes
    HHI
    [STRIKE]Deal with a hotspot[/STRIKE]


    Also removed all cooking/baking gibble from corner cupboard in anticipation of dismantling to start poking and prodding floor - rusty tins lobbed.....DD1 called dibs on a few spare cake tins ready to go back to Uni with......corner cupboard innards all washed and dried. Fridge and freezer seals all cleaned, carcase housing DW all cleaned, under sink cupboard emptied, cleaned, and re-stocked tidily, sink traps emptied, scrubbed, bleached and reassembled. Recycling taken out to car ready for a tip run tomorrow. Laundry hunt and colour sorting done. Quick S&S and de-gibble around the upstairs in general.

    Also took Ex to have hospital blood test today in advance of Wednesday's Barium CAT scan.

    I will be enlisting help of DD1 again tomorrow and I am hoping desperately to be able to take the hedge trimmer to my weeds/wild plants out the front, as the plants the bees love have now been dwarfed by weeds so I can't honestly say it is helping nature leaving it as it is. Hoping for a low pollen count before I even get started as I will be as blind as a bat with swollen eyes otherwise :(

    Right time to catch up with some ZZZZ and DD1 and I will try to keep up with listy tomorrow. Nighty night :wave:
