[/STRIKE]

Fridge was cleaned properly.

Outsides of cupboards were cleaned with stardrops and micro fiber cloth, door's were cleaned properly and then polished (they are !!!!!!! glass), oven cleaned, display shelves were cleaned, the glasses were washed, dried and set back up, the window was scrubbed (even though I said I wasn't going to cos we are getting new ones), floor was scrubbed (toothbrush in at edging can eat off it now!).

I am cream-crackered and will be bursting open a bottle of expensive bubbly as a treat (like Radox or Original Source!) I think everyone has done very well today. I need to sleep for 12 hours more often!

Hiya
Sorry i've not read all the thread but i've been trying to keep busy because DS has operation tomorrow. I love house Lil_me - it looks fabulous, i'm so pleased for you. Our house is looking very tidy because I daren't sit down or i'll worry. Went and bought the back plate and hearth for the fire place yesterday and it's all fitted and looks great so just waiting for floors now.

I'll catch up and come down to earth after tomorrow.

Hugs to all

xx

LJD, best wishes for DS's op tomorrow. Hope it goes well. (((hugs))) try not to worry too much.

pigpen

Well done TIA!!! May tomorrow be as successful!!

Just updating my list as seeing what else there is to do..

I've put some laundry on radiators to dry as there is simply no point putting it outside!! Must get some in the dryers as well..

Ok.. I need to sweep the kitchen and the extras and deep clean can be done tomorrow.. when I won't be getting soggy wet 3 times!!! and trailing round town for 4 hours!

We got DS2's school photo today as well.. he doesn't look too impressed on it.. lol.

Uniforms all out.. and the front room is decluttered so tomorrow it just needs wiping and degrotting and vacuuming.. I need to shift the big sof and do under that too.. I did the rest at the weekend. I am feeling a reshuffle of furniture coming on as well.. so I can make space to put my christmas tree in the bay... which needs sealing before we put up the tree.. so I have 2 months to get it done.

Must purchase some christmas cards shortly too, before the prices all go up again.. I like half price ones! .. I have enough wrapping paper to wrap the world though so none of that is needed.

AnW'smum.. have you seen thhose yoro pens on that site?? They look fantastic.. I am getting DS2 some as soon as his DLA is in.. they look like they'd be brilliant!! He has severe dyspraxia & dyslexia so his pen control and writing are REALLY bad.. they might be just the ticket... thank you!!!!!!!! Sending you a huge hug for that link!! Thank you!!! ... AND you can use paypal!!!! Brilliant!

Hi all managed to finish level 2 so was well chuffed.I had a huge pile of ironing which slowed me down.On the plus side I made bread, spinach soup and chilli and lime pickle.My mission is to make a pickle a day as the veg and fruit was up to 70% off in lidl and I got a voucher for £2 of fruit/veg free so marinated mushrooms tomorrow.Now I just need a bigger cupboard!

Evening all,

I am in awe of everyone who works full time, runs a house and manages to keep up with flying as well, I have worked most of today and then taken the kids to there swim club, so today's flying didn't really start until after tea, I have cleaned out under the kitchen sink - I have no idea when it was last done but it was disgusting and I am ashamed to really admit how bad it was but never mind its shining now, when I finished that i cleaned the floor and gave the oven a quick once over.

Although tomorrows list is up I will add mine in the morning far too tired to even think about what needs doing tomorrow, I am away to bed for a (I hope) a good nights sleep.

See everyone tomorrow.

Evening all. Got everything done I wanted to today and still feel I've given DS enough attention so am feeling really happy. Trying to get back to being organised and running the house properly so have got pack lunch stuff in for DH and need to start doing pack up (he has DS in a morning so doesn't have time) to save some money. Just done some muffins and baked them while we had tea so oven was already on so got some treats in.

Shell sounds like a sweetie - have you got any pics?
LDJ1 good luck for tomorrow, hugs
Tinsel - hugs, you sound down x
Vanilla what a day, hope LO is ok
