    Hi

    Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and advice. I have just finished work and picked the kids up from school. I heard while at work the my Nan who is 96, is in hospital after a fall so I am a bit worried about her.

    I am going to attack the kitchen now. DS1 is eating and DS2 is playing Minecraft so that will buy me some time. When I can see the work surfaces I will prepare dinner then get stck into today's list.

    Lovely news about your DS Mamaninie :T

    Paid stuff done
    Small food shop done, plus visited the bank

    DS3 will be home any minute so I'm going to do HH of just some daily bits and then sort out dinner.

    Duvet is slowly drying. Realised that we have had the summer one on all winter and the winter one that is now on is a bit too warm, still it will have to be on for another night.

    Yep it was me, but I have put some back on, but gonig to give it another go.

    DW done
    WM done

    Flowers arrived from DSS1, they were half dead, so very worried when I rang up to thank him, only for him to ask me 'what state were they in' I questioned a bit further as to why he thought they were not good, only to be told his own mother had dead flowers as well, ................he is getting his money back.............

    thanks for the lists xx

    Well I have managed to do all the basic flying except the DW and WM clean cycle as both have been in use too much to go on clean cycles!

    The kitchen floor was in too much need to just be given a quick mop so I have been on my hands and knees scrubbing it within an inch of its life. It took about an hour but you could eat your dinner on it! The kitchen is clean and the dining table is free of clutter and to celebrate I have put a few flowers on it. Even my DH noticed :)

    Looking forward to seeing what I can achieve tomorrow :)

    Interesting evening as DH got his leg stuck in a chair whilst standing on it to paint a door. I'm am so trying not to find this funny. Hacksaw later, leg is free, chair is not in one piece.

    Washing up done
    DW about to go on

    That's it folks, tomorrow is another day but early paid stuff so won't be around until later.
