I'm getting there slowly but surely. Washed the floor in the bathroom so I had an excuse to not clean the rest of it for a bit. Managed to cut my finger open when dusting the study/junk room with the hoover, so have a plaster on nowit bled like a good 'un. Put the washing out on the line (should dry pretty quickly I hope cos it's really windy here) including the lining of the washing basket. Now time to find me some lunch methinks. (tummy growls loudly)

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one taking it easy today...
I cleaned the bathroom yesterday, thats my excuse.
DH still away...for those with hubbys at home. My DH works from home, in the front room. I usually struggle hughly to get myself motivated when hes around. I find myself making constant cups of tea, chatting about stuff, looking at cars....its great when hes not around, the house is lovely.
I made a chicken pie the other day but couldn't be bothered to make a base, so I just wrapped the filling up...needless to say to sprawled everywhere, all over the baking tray. The children loved it , though....I've never been that hung up on presentation...0 -
