    Everything done from my list first thing this morning except mopping. Also, sinks have been bleached, rubbish put out and recycling sorted, and one load of washing done which is now on the airer.

    Back from sports club after 4 hours as it's now raining heavily. So I'm just going to relax now and catch up with reading this week's local paper.

    Enjoy the rest of the day everyone. 'See' you tomorrow or maybe Monday.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Ah. It rained. Everyone's just gone home. Hasn't taken much tidying up to be fair. There were more than 20 of us crammed in here, but it all went well. Minor incident when one boy got carried away and pulled DDs hair bobble storage thing off its hook. I'm not impressed - it's in her wardrobe, he had no business being in there! Anyway, it's fixable and no harm done.

    We are chilling out now watching a Shrek DVD.

    Tonight I shall be ironing school uniform...

    I have also done loads of paperwork frogs, and ordered a small filing box thing, as I intend to fling the big filing cabinet that is full of useless paperwork that is years old. KONDO!

    Also when dusting the conservatory I moved things round, moved a big chest out of there that there was no room for, and devoted a load of stuff to the shed that had no business being there.

    First thing on the list tomorrow is hoovering the kids room. when they went to bed tonight there was literally one square inch of visible carpet. I will not be popular tomorrow when I tell them its a day of tidying and homework.

    See you all tomorrow x

    Ironing done

    Bathroom mats washed

    Tax credits renewed
    Marriage allowance thing applied for.

    Filled and took 2 bags to charity shop. I think my house is like the magic pudding. I have got rid of so much stuff but don't seem to have gained much space.

    Cuppa... and food.... and then I need to hoof OH out of bed so he can get that blooming kitchen ceiling a second coat of paint on whether he likes it or not.. I need to go sort the girls room and I also need to sort the ebay boxes. I am considering putting it in bundles and flinging it on the FB groups.. I'm sick of looking at it all if I am honest. I will start with the 10-12years stuff I have about 5 binbags already sorted and loads is new with tags still!!

    Morning!

    Glorious sunshine here! Typical! Just as well, DS barfed in the night so his duvet is washed and flung over the whirligig. It was only once, but he's refusing food thus far and camped on the sofa with a bucket, aww.

    I've tidied the conservatory - to be honest it only took 10min, just a case of picking toys up of the floor and a stray paper plate. I'll get the vac out later and maybe even wash a window or two.

    Depending on DS we may have a wander up to town for some bedding plants. It's getting a bit late isn't it? We'll have to get established ones. The tubs at the front of the house are looking very forlorn.

    The house is pretty much to rights after yesterday's festivities so I guess the main thing later will be uniform sorting and getting ready for school / work.

    Have a lovely Sunday, all xxx

    Have pegged out 3 loads, two of which were towels, and cleaned out the bunny.
    Yesterday i thoroughly cleaned the bathroom, kitchen and DR. DD asked if we were having visitors.
    Two busy weeks and two Saturdays away and it showed.
