    OK, just having a breather...and some lunch...

    Shower room: Sink, toilet, shower tray, shower and tiles all cleaned. Plugholes sparkling. Loo bleached (sorry septic tank) and floor swept and mopped. BIN emptied, scales cleaned, all horizontal surfaced anti-bac'd. Kiln moved (don't ask!) and all laundry sorted and in WM or TD.

    Main bathroom - ditto blitzing.

    Desk cleared, cleaned and all filing done. 300 junk emails deleted and most others dealt with as necessary.

    I've done lots more, not least ordered the spare parts for my Dyson, paid some bills, and now feeding Tiny.

    I'm bimmin' knackered :p

    It appears the (broken) power cable I was looking to buy for my laptop has in fact been recalled so I can get a free replacement! Saved me some quids!! Still need the fan for my other one though :(

    Off to dangle laundry out and make a cuppa then I have to wash my nits and get DS3 to his appointment for 2:50.. I'm taking my knitting with me I was there 2.5 hours last time!

    I've cleared the ironing, let the dog out 100000000 times, dealt with numerous texts/calls, had lunch and tidied away as much of my work stuff as possible which has made a massive difference in the livingroom. I still need to do todays work, but right now my plan is to go and have a bath in peace before DD gets home as my lower back is aching today but my usual solution of stretching out isn't working.

    Tea is planned, DD has homework to do so me doing a bit of work when she gets home will be okay. Maybe tomorrow I can fly properly! :wave:

    Glad to hear you had a successful meeting at school, bossy.
    Dizzy Imp, you're going great guns today!
    How's the knitting coming on, pigpen?
    Hope you're resting up today after your mad social whirl, CY ;)

    I've done all the indoor flying off my lists for yesterday today (DH helped with the hoovering downstairs :A) and even tidied my desk, and I've hung out WMx3 and planted the wallflowers and hyacinth bulbs. Must be some kind of a record for me to plant things out within a week of buying them :o

    I will try to do some weeding of the front path and parking space later, while tea is cooking (gammon and SW chips tonight :P). Must get on with reading now. The sun has just popped behind a cloud, which makes it easier to work at my desk.

  • Afternoon folks,

    Just posting the list of doom. Just got back from paid stuff, picked up from school, now have a very short window to get a bit done and cook and eat some tea, before I take the girls to the hairdressers to have their hair trimmed. Dd2's especially is out of control, it is curly and fluffy and bush like.
    Bossy hope your headache has gone, I've got one too, off to dose myself up with something strong.

    See you all later

    Afternoon all

    Hoovered and mopped downstairs before the paid stuff.

    I have the DW to empty. a food shop to put away and a return to get packaged up and taken to the post office before I start on dinner.

    Trying to decide whether to clean the bathroom or do paperwork after that - I don't want to do either but both are in great need.

    Sending head healing vibes to all that need them.

    Had a productive day. Done the kitchen and spent a few hours in the dining room. All boxes have been cleared so all that is in there now is the table and chairs. It looks really empty. But not going to do it properly until it is on our agend. We are trying to decorate a room at a time but the clutter in their was really getting me down. I have also unpacked three boxes so everything is looking a little less clearer.

    OH has also finished glossing ds2s bedroom so hopefully we can get him in there at the weekend.

    Left to do....

    S&S the downstairs loo
    Give your sink a polish
