    Morning all. I'm in, thanks for the list Natty.

    Will do dailies and scrub in the downstairs loo before looking at the list.

    Have a great day everyone.

    I'm in again please x Thanks for lists Natty and Bossy :)

    Half term here too and skids with us all week - going to be very busy and expensive this week, plus we have friends staying at the weekend for Hallowe'en, so will be looking forward to school before too long.

    OMG Dancemum - I think I may have skinned him alive :eek: Luckily SS is too square to run up a charge like that (I hope). Does your son have to work weeding the garden forever or some other hideous punishment to try to make amends?
  • Morning everyone

    Will do my best to stick to the lists this week but having both teenagers at home/needing to be ferried about always throws things. I have washed the kitchen floor because it was filthy this morning and will hang some washing out in a minute. The living room does need attention but that will be after the paid stuff.

    The LR carpet is starting to look a bit grubby and I have been looking at buying a carpet cleaner. I keep meaning to hire one but never get round to it, if I had my own I would be more likely to use it. Have found one on sale that is affordable.

    Right, best get moving! Have a good Monday everyone x

    Morning all
    Thank you for the sets natty and bossy.
    I'm in properly this week as half term is over so Dh, ds2 and me are all back to school/work. I'm on my new hours of normal lunchtime job plus two full days now so need to work out a system for that plus do some reading up on what the new part of the job requires
    The radio controlled clock just behind me has decided it need to reset itself
    For gmt but is making a huge faff of it so far it's spun manically like tine flying through two days then stopped at midnight now it's settled on 1:10 glad I have my watch on as it could take days at this rate.
    Did loads of kondoing/decluttering last week I've also been playing the mins game where you have to get rid of as many items as the day each day of a month, if I can keep going till 31st I'll have got rid of 500+ things.
    So far I've found it quite easy and haven't missed any of the stuff that's gone.
    Hope everyone's neighbour problems start to sort themselves out.
    Hugs good wishes and posi vibes to all who need them and a pot of sticks and spoons to help yourselves to should you need those.

    embb.. they use laptops ;)

    Dusty.. I don't know.. we often have one or two but there were loads last night.. I've not seen any evidence of the beasties at all yet they suddenly appear and where the heck did the ginormous blue bottle come from??? (that got vacuumed)#


    dancemum.. get a Tesco contract and cap it so he cannot go over a certain limit!!


    I cant decide if I have yet another cold or if my rhinitis is still aggravated from yesterday..

    Hope all is well with you, Cycling Yorkie.
    Sorry to hear your mother might have to be readmitted, Dusty. Healing vibes for her on their way.
    In all the panic about Mutley I must have missed the bit where you said you go the job Mumto5, so huge congratulations there! So glad to hear he's recovering.

    More stuff is going to the scrap store today (hurrah!), swishable twigs collected on first dogwalk this morning and I have a list as long as my arm of stuff I need to get while I'm out and about before and after the dentist today. The stairs will get a proper drubbing and the shower room needs a bit more than a lick and a promise. It's going to be a busy one.
    Better is good enough.
