Back again

Wiped down all worktops, fronts of cupboards, dining room (Kitchen diner) table. DH has done inside windows because I can't reach, the outsides were done last Friday. He's off to work soon so I'll vacuum then. Oh, and I've wiped the toaster, kettle and microwave.

Also, dusted living room and computer desk and I'll vacuum through there too.

Then I'm going to sit outside and read Harry Potter until the dear little souls/little ****s next door get up and make it impossible to concentrate.

Shirley- good luck for when you get to see the bank, fingers crossed for you.

DH is off later on a trip to London. He's seeing a couple of bands play and staying over.

Morning all... just a quick post so I can find the thread later :rotfl:

I'm currently up to my ears in laundry and Christmas videos. We're having a Christmas day today where DD gets to sit in her nightie and watch nothing but Christmas movies until OH gets in...keeps her occupied and means I can do the ironing without worrying about her getting bored and wandering around the livingroom as they go away with the decorations and only come out during the summer hols (and when the decs come out of course!) so it's the whole "I haven't seen this for ages so I'm going to sit and watch it without moving" situation I won't start the ironing though until Muppets come on, she's currently watching "Rudolph" :rolleyes:

Just dailies & laundry today, although I am already on load 3 since we got back yesterday, and another 3 to go :eek: Might stretch to do a kitchen clean but we'll see Need to go and hang this washing out so I'll catch up at lunch time :wave:
