    Thanks for the info honey bear.
    Cy- pleased to hear the offer has been accepted. We had an offer made on our house on Monday but it was ridiculously low and no counter offer. Another viewing on Saturday so still busy and keeping me on my toes!

    Monday -
    Empty the bins or find 10 things to throw away
    Wipe some paint work
    Clean a window or two
    15 minutes deleting emails/favourites, old word documents, blurry photos you choose or filing shredding

    Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Wipe out the fridge
    Wipe the work tops - removing everything first
    Wipe all the handles in these rooms

    Wednesday - Bathroom, Hall, Stairs and Landings
    Clean toilet, sink, shower/bath
    Clear and clean the floor
    Give any plug holes a good clean and cleanse
    Wash any throws or cushion covers in need

    Sort our medicine cupboard/box - do you have stocks of hayfever tablets etc
    Recycle any old autumn/winter catalgues - Argos, boots,M&S etc

    If you have drawers, shelves etc of 'spare' toiletries give them a sort to refresh in your mind what you have. Today is the day to start using that 'special' one, what are you saving it for? Today is as special as any other day.

    Evening all. I didn't get all my bedroom list done this morning. I changed the bedding (having to dry that indoors unfortunately), cleared the hotspots (which have reappeared since DH got home) and had a quick hoover through the house.

    Have just got back from a lovely meal out with DH so chilling with a cuppa and then need to give LittleyDog attention.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning everyone.

    Just looked at lists and managed quite a bit off them this week. I do a bit of working to my own list of what needs doing and a bit of the daily list.

    Meeting DD for lunch and shopping then off to town to meet friends.

    I'm getting quite excited now as my DGGS 1 is due in June. I already have 3 GGDs so looking forward to a boy.

    CY Great news about the house.
    Froddy Glad you enjoyed the trip.

    Blinking Heck its Thursday, not quite sure how that's happened!


    Iona - great news about new addition
    Mrs MP - glad to hear baby has turned - do we not if its a pink or blue one?
    CY - hope all goes smoothly with house
    Narco - I love everyone's posts, including yours, no one should change, all be true to ourselves, it's what makes us, us!


    If I've missed anyone, sorry and hope all are well.


    Well although I've not been on here a lot, I have been flying to a fashion. Bathroom and stairs and landing are spotless, dining room and kitchen still needs attention, and as well as todays list I have a mountain of ironing to get through.


    Today I have a beer delivery for the village hall, we have a 40th birthday party this weekend, and beer lines needs washing through, so will be up there for a couple of ours this morning, and have couple of paid hours work this afternoon.


    Still currently painting DS2's room. So far have done uv neon orange and green stripes (doing one colour a day to make sure totally dry). Just blue and yellow left to do. He loves it haha.


    Yesterday we finally got on with putting a picket fence up, very green and frugal, hubby recycled some old pallets. Now I just need to decide whether to be sensible, and stain it, cheaper, lasts longer etc. Or go with my heart and paint it white, more expensive, more labour intensive, but will look so pretty and picturesque! I'm really struggling with this one. If I stain, I could always paint over after it had weathered, but if I paint, its no going back and a job for life, but again so pretty and picturesque! Aaaaahhh.


    We finally have a in front of fire and settee night planned for tonight, so will catch up with you all later, hope you all have a lovely day :)
    Loving life to the full, just need purse full too :)
