    Was at a bit of a loss this morning until I had a look around and found plenty to do :D

    So far I have:

    WM x 1
    DW x 1
    Walked to town and back to play [STRIKE]pokemon go with the kids[/STRIKE] run some errands.
    Spent an hour catching up on work related things
    Spent a happy couple of hours sorting DDs bedroom out. 1 x recycling bag, 1 x bin bag and 1 x WM load. There's still quite a bit to sort through as she's a hoarder - and she's only 11 :eek:

    Hello!

    We've been at home today. Kiddies devised a "school afternoon" so they wrote a schedule including PE, maths, science :D we took it in turns to be the teacher.

    Also had a massive shop delivery so they laid all those out end to end. To make a path in the kitchen - omg lol. They did help me put it away after...

    So we've just kept on top of things today. Tonight I'm going to wipe over the floor in the garage / den as DD had a cornflake incident - luckily she doesn't have milk on them haha.

    They are just having supper and watching scooby doo then I'll chase them off to bed. She's been a little tearful at points so I'm pretty sure she's tired.

    I've sorted the recycling which has made a bit of space and put the black bin out for morning.

    Hoping the last bit of splashback will be fitted tomorrow then I'll be officially done in the kitchen:T

    Dropped the dysons round the repair guys he was really pleased. Lounge is looking much better, all ironing put away, everyone fed.
    Tomorrows plan is to take ds2 round mils and do sons weed killing and garden recycling bin filling. Then tackle the kitchen.

    Vacuum through the living room, hall and stairs
    30 minutes to spare...
    Dusting, even if around everything
    Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe

    Got an hour...
