    Afternoon all


    Just updating whilst de-cluttering a cuppa

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

    Tuesday Tantrums: Kitchen & Dining Room
    Mop a floor or two.
    Empty a drawer and wipe it out.
    Have a clear out and only replace in the drawer what needs to stay.


    Wednesday Wickedness - Living Room
    Hoover / sweep and mop these areas
    Hoover soft furnishing

    Think I'll do a bit more on the paperwork - now just a mini mountain - before starting on the dinner.



    Glad some of you have some sunshine to enjoy :) Same old .... here :(

    My front block paving is weed free and I have swept sand across the whole drive so, where weeds have been lifted (and holes left) there is now clean dry sand...
    I have emptied Ds's bin and the vacuum cleaner.

    Now taking DD to work and bringing DS back.

    And I have watered the hydrangea with free fertiliser - given to me by a neighbour who feels my hydrangea should be bluer!

    Everything off the list has been done. DH did help with the hoovering, eventually. I've only got to cook the meal for our friends now - they go to SW too, so I'm doing 3 courses from the SW recipe books (none of which I've ever done before). Easy peasy, though ;)

    In case I forget later, good luck to dancemum's DS1 and any other Flykids waiting for results tomorrow.

    Quick post as Mr LW's waiting to look at his e-mails; but I thought you'd like to know he's been given a clean bill of health.:T He has to stay on the meds long-term, but there's nothing sinister going on, and he's now been discharged back to just the care of the GP.

    Flying-wise - we did HHGardening this afternoon and decluttered 4 bucketfuls of weeds.:eek:

    Now my visitors are gone I am in this week. Thank you bossy for the lists and natty for last weeks'

    I got the house clean and tidy before we went away last week and OH's family arrived on Sunday, the day we came home from the caravan. I just need to keep it that way.

    We have had a lovely sunny day and I have done WM x 2 and hung both lots outside. One lot dried the other almost. Before the week before last this was unheard of as we had a huge hedge at the side of the garden and this blocked out the sunshine. I didn't realise how much though till the hedge was cut down.

    I have been following the thread even though I haven't done much flying.

    Lame wolf I am so pleased to hear your OH had good news

    Dance mum good luck to your ds1 for tomorrow. We will be in that situation with ds1 next week

    CY sorry to hear your news and glad things are improving with your dd's fianc!.

    Pigpen good to see you back and congratulations

    Apologies to all those I haven't mentioned I am trying to remember 3 days worth of posts

    Tomorrow I am hoping to have a day of flying, kondoing and a hospital appointment for both DS's late afternoon.

    Evening all

    Car all hoovered out and wiped out.

    Two loads of washing done.
    DS2 hoovered his room and put DS3's desk back so the last of the things can be put back tomorrow.

    That is it apart from cricket and a quick tidy around.

    LW great news on Mr LW, must be a big releif for you both.

    - emptied dw
    - quick whizz round lounge/dining room before student
    - birthday e card sent
    - more seeds sown
    - more weeds yanked out
    -friend visited
    -kitchen half decluttered and surfaces wiped
    - floordrobe put away
    - emails caught up on (well relatively)

    Now trying to see meteor showers, at least it's clear tonight but there seem to be a lot of aeroplanes about.
