Currently sorting through some stuff in my room to get rid of. I'm going through all my handbags and purses and have got a pile for the charity shop.

Postie brought the final paperwork for the cruise this morning. We travel to Tilbury next Saturday (14th) and sail on the Sunday. I am now shaking like the proverbial leaf!!:eek::D

The plan now is to give the whole bungalow a once-over before we go; I'm also meal-planning with a view to using up anything that won't keep. Veggie stew tonight; Mr LW can do his famous omelette Saturday; toad-in-the-hole Sunday; Monday I'll make a Shepherd Spy, that'll use up the last of the carrots and onion, and will do Tuesday as well; nut loaf with sweet'n'sour rice on Wednesday, tagliatelle with tomatoes and hot dogs Thursday, and Friday we'll scratch round for any other bits I've missed, and grab something out of the freezer. Sorted!;)

Tomorrow I want Mr LW to get the cases off the top of the wardrobe so that we can start packing - I've told him anything that he wants to take that needs washing needs to be in the wash-bin by Monday.;)

Lots of GWS vibes where needed - either for fellow Flyladies themselves, or for poorly loved ones.:o

Bathroom sparkly and the gibble I had successfully hidden in a cupboard and forgotten about has been liberated and rehomed where it should be.

I've been in all day waiting for a blinds measuring man so I have HAD to:
- clear and clean the bed room
- washed the windows
- cleaned and polished the leather sofa in there
- cleared and cleaned the landing
- hoovered stairs/landing/bedroom
- wiped all the paintwork
- dusted the skirting and picture rails
- cleared and cleaned the kitchen
- made a completely delicious ginger and parsnip cake :D

all while keeping the smallest person entertained/happy/not weeing on stuff

wet bed from the middlest sized one though so that is in the wm queue - 3 loads done today.

I'm just having a coffee, finding something on the iplayer and then tackling the front room while 2/3 of the kids are watching telly, 1 at football and tea is cooking
