    thanks for lists. I'm lurking as I'm sure much of this week will be relating to either moving MIL or writing reports!

    Oh my life - have just checked the tracker for MIL's fridge freezer being delivered to us tomorrow, eta is 06:10 - 10:10...................so looks like I'd better go to bed and get some rest in case they come knocking at 6.10. Is there such an hour?

  • I am in again. DH took lampshade down in living room last week so I could give it a soapy wash and a sparkly shine. I am going to whip round with a mop I use for clearing cobwebs today. Living room will look beautiful in an hour (ish)
    I can't clean the oven the way I would like nowadays cos of my knackered knees I can't kneel ,so am seriously thinking about paying someone to come and do it. Has anyone any idea how much roughly they charge? Xx
  • Morning All :)

    I am in, thank you Natty x

    So far this morning I have:
    • Unloaded and reloaded DW
    • WUDUPA all the stuff that couldn't go in DW
    • WM X1 and TD X1
    • School and pre-school run
    • Been to the bottle bank
    • Dropped something off at a friend's house
    • Binned some stuff out of the fridge and shined the sink

    Just having a quick brew, then between now and 11 I must package up ebay parcels, make a start on a piece of consultancy work, make the beds and clean the fire.

    If I do all of that, I am off to find more stuff to ebay - listed loads of the kids clothes last night that they no longer wear at reasonable buy it now prices, and most of it went within the hour!

    Back later xx

    Tried a new tactic of doing housework before school run (normally I'm bad and just look on Facebook etc and waste time) so done some of the list already. Took S to school and then had counselling session; now back to start paid stuff.

    DH got man flu - Lord help me be patient.
