    Kitchen sides wiped along with all the cupboard doors and large appliance fronts, toaster and kitchen wiped over and the hob.
    Cleaned out the saucepan cupboard and gave that a clean. It's where all the bottles of oil live so it was pretty sticky :o
    Found an oven cleaner pack in the back of the cupboard so shall give that a go after dinner tonight.
    Fridge cleaned out, mince defrosted and stuck in the slowcooker with all the old veg so make some sort of chilli.
    3rd load of washing on for the day, some on the airer and some tumble dried.
    Stairs and landing swept down with dustpan and brush, killed my back but was easier than struggling with the dys0n.
    Been on the book of face trying to console a friend who's having a hard time with her 1 year old boy (single mum) Tbh I think she's sleep deprived as he's started not settling and waking during the night. She's had so many offers of help now I'm sure she'll be fine. I offered. I also offered to swap for a gobby teenage girl (DD2) who knows everything and she actually said yes :eek: I also offered DD1's services, she's a qualified nursery nurse.
    It's been so cold here I actually had to put the heating on earlier :o I'm warm at the mo though as Dcat1 has jumped onto my lap, everytime I sit down she's there!
    Going to finish my drink then try to finish my shredding :cool:

    Slight change of plan. After coffee, it was still bright, so I spent an hour in the garden cutting up prunings to go in bin, and then sweeping up all the leaves on the path and patio.

    DS1 cleared a lot of his stuff! :T

    DD and I went coat hunting for her. She found one she liked, but the only one in her size had a black mark on the back. Checked online, it's out of stock. Guess I'll be visiting the other local branches to try and find one.

    Looks like everyone has been terrifically busy today!

    :T Well done, JTTOU :beer:

    I have
    - done dailies
    - decluttered ½ lb at SW :j
    - tried to deliver to the Food Bank but it was shut today :(
    - made soup
    - sat and talked to my friend for over an hour. She is still waiting for an appointment with the oncologist, 3 weeks since she came out of hospital :mad:
    - did some shopping at @ld1 for us and her
    - paid for the new charity logo and got an extra graphic for free :)
    - sorted the problem with the bank card
    - made chilli no carne for tea

    That's about 7 things more than I achieved yesterday :o

    I can offer you a gravy ladle to add to your spoons collection, if you'd like it, LW?

    Need to do some computer work this evening... Out again all day tomorrow :p

    (((Hugs))), spoons and sticks where needed x

    Ick. It's been one of those days. Everything that could go wrong, has. It started even before 6.30 when the parking meter gave me a ticket before I finished putting money in, and I didn't have enough change to start over. And ended with picking the kids up from club where both had lost their jumpers and it was freezing outside. With a myriad of paid stuff crap in between and nearly getting run over by an articulated lorry �� the driver got a choice few words from me :eek: clearly is not familiar with the Highway Code :(

    And breathe... :p

    Flying has been limited to putting a few toys away, bit of laundry, loading DW, putting bin out for morning and sorting dinner. Oh, I just dusted the TV and cabinet too. It needed it :o

    I've checked my emails, and I give up. The whole banking world seems to have gone bananas. I only took a week off !!!!!!.

    I really need to chill out! Lol.

    Paid stuff at home tomorrow. Need to speak to the boss man about the piles and piles that are all vying for my attention. And one of our very small team is leaving. We need to sort out how we manage going forward, and he needs to advertise!

    Anyhow, MIL is doing swimming again tomorrow so I will have an hour to myself to catch up and DD and I are not going anywhere on Thu either.

    Where is that lottery win???

    Away with the fairies :beer:
