    Hiyaaaaaaaaaa :D

    vanilla, hugs for your dd and you, hope you get sorted chick xx

    Been busy. Spring cleaned the kitchen and porch today, threw out pretty much everything, inc the dining table, always hated it and we never use it. Brought the td in from the porch and have it in place under the back window so I can lob the hose out. Muuuuuuuuuch better.

    Done washing and drying, and hoovering, and dog grooming, and taxi servicing, online food shop order, collected 5 bin bags of crap from everywhere, finally sorted my bedroom which was beginning to resemble a charity shop back room before sorting :eek: another 3 out of my kitchen cupboards, flung table, chairs, old mat, spare table and other gubbins out in the back garden for council collection at some point this week, tons of other stuff ive forgotten lol

    Back to work tomorrow, off school now till last week of the hols so only job 1 and 3 for the next few weeks :j had this week off and not surprisingly left it till the last day to do anything in the house :rotfl: spent some time with my oh who now works shifts at Nissan so I dont get to see him much especially as we dont live together, its been good x

    Just waiting for last td of the day to finish then thats me done till dd2 pick up later, watching Commonwealth closing ceremony tonight, hasnt it been fab :T

    Juggled more photos around, just 9.7GB of stuff left to sort out now! My bed is made before bedtime this time. Just going to sort through the fridge & write a shopping list for tomorrow. Then I'm going for an early night. :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Pleased to hear good news about Ginge. :)

    Thank you for all the nice comments, but really this weekend is just making up for all the days when the BD and mega AF renders me next to useless.

    Since the last mega post, there has been a lot more organizing....I can't remember everything and I have DD4 wrestling me for the laptop atm, so I will have to keep editing as I go.

    Organizing:

    99p mini sewing kit tidily put into a 99p mini chest for the man drawer
    mini chest for my meds
    mini chest for kiddy meds, plasters and such
    cereal caddies, new compost caddies, repurposed ready meal containers and pull out baskets loaded up with rices, grains, seeds, pasta, custard/blancmange/jellies, oils/vinegars/cooking wines and tall sauce bottles, P@xo/stuffings/nut roast/soya mince & chunks/vegan sausage and burger mixes. curry paste jars,creamed coconut and lazy garlic and ginger

    Split new baking box in two.....one sweet & general baking and the other savoury, suets and pancakes
    mini chest for black teas, mini chest for green teas, mini chest for fruit and herbal teas, mini chest for coffee and a pull out drawer for sugar, honey, sweeteners and syrups

    mini chest for chewing gum, small raisin boxes and small sweet packets

    great washing hunt including dragging out spare bedding from DD4's wardrobes for a freshen.

    relocated all LR DVD crates from away from my BR wardrobes and stuffed into the now vacant DD4 wardrobes

    more plastic boxes under stairs cupboard, organizing cleaning accessories

    Major recycling hunt into new containers

    all sharps put into a mega lock box as DS now helping get cutlery ready for meal times

    bought new super super concentrate fruit squashes and slung in a handled basket so once the last of the big 1.5 litre bottles are finished more space for glasses in the cupboard

    DD2 uni washing up all boxed up ready for September

    broken biscuit box decluttered enough to fit remainders into biscuit barrel (my favourite flying activity of the week!)

    taken old step exercise bench into understairs cupboard so can be used as a nice stable platform to get into upper cupboards

    picnic trays, food umbrellas and wooden skewers altogether

    gathered crafty type things together in one box (except loom bands which are now breeding like Tribbles in the Skint Ritz




    Cleaning
    floor and counters cleaned
    upper and lower corner cupboards
    cupboard tops and cornice for upper corner cupboards
    cooker hood
    coving on the run behind cooker hood
    DW on twice and one lot of WUDUPA
    hoovered DD4 room, cot & mattress, lampshade, curtains & pole, coving, wardrobe tops and nooks and crannies on doors and woodwork.
    my ensuite loo, sink, nappy bucket and shower given a good bleaching
    hoovered LR, hallway, kitchen

    arachnid hunting in DD1/computer room, degibbling bunk bed, hoovering floor and keyboards

    picked up all garden toys and dismantled gazebo ready for builder to come and sort out tomorrow.

    broken and stray peg hunt

    R&R

    I managed to get only 1 hour sleep last night, but managed 2 hours out in the sun while EX had the two little ones down park....

    Right tiredness is catching up with me now.....can't remember what else, but will catch up on new Fred later or in the morning nighty night flyladies and flygents :wave:
    The cold never bothered me anyway
