    I love my mum!!!!!!!!!:kisses:
    Got home at 6 and she has done a load of washing, a massive load of ironing, wudupa, cleared and cleaned all kitchen sides. She also got the kids their dinner, bathed them and got them in their pyjamas! :T:T:T:T
    So I spent half an hour With the kids. Put them to bed at 7 and then worked solidly until 10.30 (stopping for 10 mins to eat some dinner).

    So I have done nothing around the house but not from being lazy! Shouldn't have as much to do tomorrow night so at least I should do the dailies!

    Haven't had chance to read the thread, so hope everyone is ok x xx

    Have a good day all

    Morning all. Well done Valli's DD. Spoons on their way to Bossy.

    This morning before the paid stuff, I intend to:
    Change bedding
    Do some tasks from the list.

    But first declutter one item. Most things at the moment are going in a charity bag so technically still in my house, but decluttering all the same.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
