Thank you for the new list Bossy.
I'm ahead on tomorrows list as my WM has been on a clean cycle today. The DW was done on Friday.0 -
Bathroom cleaned and a towel wash with dusty dusters is on the cards! Now I won't slip in the bath from DD's products which leave a film after her bath - she doesn't always remember to clean. Have also wiped all carpet/door edge things (name of them escapes me) and a suspicious mark on LR carpet which I suspect was from a grass- chewing cat.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Thank you to bossy for this week's list and to Natty for last week's. Enjoy your holiday, Natty - my DH would love that place!
We had a lovely weekend away, visiting our old haunts. I did take laminating and cutting to be done, and finished nearly all of it. Just haven't had the energy to pack the boxes this evening, as I drove all the way home (3 hours) non-stop, and now I've got a stiff neck
Not much time for anything tomorrow as I'm at my vol job from 12-5.30 and the Old Wives are meeting in the evening,, and then we're away for the rest of the week, doing the school runs for DGS1+2, but I will try to keep up with the thread.
Glad the anti-sickness drugs have worked a little miracle, CY.
(((Hugs))) to all who are missing student children - I remember it well: I missed my three terribly, even though I had brought them up to be very independent. Spoons and sticks all round where needed x0 -
Hi ladies. I'm in too. Thanks to Bossy and Natty for previous threads x0

*hugs* to valli, dancemum and anyone else with kids going/just gone off to uni - hope you're doing OK.
Boiler update: OH's granddad came round on Saturday to look at it, was looking a bit dodgy after new circuit breaker didn't work - then turned out what had actually happened was, due to the way it's been wired in, we'd somehow managed to pull the plug cables from the dishwasher and boiler! *headdesk* But at least we found that before we spent £70 getting a man out, and now know where it is if it ever happens again...
Have got a bit of a head start today as did kitchen floor cleaning last night, so will crack on with the rest of the list when I get home from paid stuff. I have a funny feeling I'm coming down with a cold but will try to power through!
