Evening all,

Nothing done all day as been to work, picked kids up from school, shouted at them a lot, took them to swimming lessons, made tea, got them to bed.

But then have had crazy hour and a half:

WM, DW, 15 min iron, swept and mopped kitchen floor, swished bog and sink. Also a couple more things got rid of from lists. Frizzle great tip, I've deleted the level headings, it looks much shorter!

As for cleaning behind and under the fridge, it is way to heavy to move, I just do as far as the Hoover/mop reaches. It looks a bit grotty if you lay on the floor and look right under it, but if a visitor did that I would think them bonkers.


Bank Holiday Bonanza! - a bit of everything, or a bit of a rest!

HH in the garden, any mossy or weedy bits you can grab as you wander round?

Terrific Tuesday - Living Room, Hallway & Stairs

Do a little job you've been putting off)

Wicked Wednesday - Kitchen & Dining Room

HHDD - half-hour day-dream

Nothing else done off the list tonight.
Loaded dw, emptied wm onto an Airer and decluttered a run. Hubby ran the Hoover over the living room while I was out. So just the stairs to do from Tuesday's list. I will post my list again in the morning with some added extrS!!

List updated. Eventually! I'm not long home, poor granny (babysitter extraordinaire) had given up and gone to bed oh dear - not sure if she had an idea to stay over anyway as I think gramps has been disturbing her sleep this week with his toothache

Anyway, tis all quiet here, so think I'll try get some sleep myself

Night all x

The week is rushing by, and I don't think I have a great deal to show for it. I had planned to be super efficient this morning as I wasn't due at uni till 2; however I had a really bad night for some reason so getting up was sloooooow.
*DW unloaded.
*I load washing done and hung out in howling gale 5 mins before a downpour.
*Greenhouse and garden checked for debris following gale; part of neighbour's shed roofing felt was in garden, some hanging in a tree, and a plank had landed on my broad beans. At least our sun room is still firmly attached to the decking and tied onto a tree for good measure.
*Non-machine washing up done.
*Some clothes put away in bedroom.
*Caught up with some delivery surveys.
*Caught up with week 2 of my course. Week 3 started Monday but I have done a little bit.
*Spent too long surfing on internet for potential bike holiday to Scotland.
*Am now definitely going on bike (motor) to France with my brother in June for midsummer so caught up with some plans on the phone.
*Contacted potential reference-givers for the job I'm in the process of tendering for. Tender requires copies of "your company's audited accounts for the last 2 years". Huh? I do have a company name and I do proper tax returns - does that count as audited? I don't need an accountant or anything as there's only me......any advice anyone? I've already posted "correspondence" query about references on the tender site as they want details of 3 other companies I have provided the service for. Huh again - I carry out work for individuals, who may not care to discuss their assessments. Oh well it's a learning curve.

Tomorrow:
- more of my course
- just 2hrs teaching
- survey house for worst areas. Think vacuum all round and put any 'wandering' items back in their homes would be a good start
- get to grips with job/tender/application documentation.

Hiya everyone and a warm welcome :hello:

Dusty - sounds like your interview went well

Thanks for all the replies re behind/under the fridge and freezer. I just worry a bit about the fact that apparently if the pipe-thingies at the back get too dusty they can cause a fire. I do them twice a year so hope that's enough then.


If it's gone I've done it or don't have one

Morning all

JJ how is the mutt's paw?

Elastic has your DS tried the FODMAP diet?

White wash sorted, stained item just soaking in van1sh then I'll put that on.

Off to yoga this morning then I'll walk to the polling station with DS2.

Should pop and see my mother later and I have a few things to return to shops in her town so I'll do that all together

Flying for me will be the LR, not too messy but needs a good hoover and dust.
