    - one load washing on, hung out, brought in dry
    - lots of gardening done, focusing on bed outside conservatory now that is getting smart. New furniture due for delivery "some time after 2pm" - I got home from zumba at 11.30 and Mr N was upacking them. Delivery man knew nothing about 2pm......

    Haven't caught up with Fred and didn't manage the whole list today. *curses* But the kitchen door and its surround is the cleanest it's ever been since it was installed and I did the dining room window as well. And the ironing I didn't get round to yesterday. I'll do what I can tomorrow but I fear slippage is occuring, and it's only Tuesday.
    Better is good enough.

    Just a small update before bed..

    Did a jeans wash load. Hung out on line, dried so brought in and folded up ready to put away tomorrow. Gave up halfway round with the cleaning but will do it tomorrow. Think I'll do HH ironing too.

    Have decluttered D to bed with his bandaging all done. Must remember to strip the bed tomorrow, again!!! We are doing wet wrapping of his skin legions which helps him at night just doesn't help my bed..alrhough tonight he is on a towel which I put on there. Poor lamb.

    Tomorrow I have to nip to shops for more painkillers and some cream so we can have our strawberries. Might take the pup out in the car to the woods then we can just walk amongst nature and I can unwind for a bit. Then have to do some more dusting etc..oh and change cat tray..

    See you all in the morning. Night night xxx

    S&S bathroom - DONE
    MAD half hour - DONE more than HH, but so worth it to clear it :)


    Actually - that's not too bad, all things considered. Very glad I didn't vac & mop kitchen until after lunch - the smalls made their own wraps - they grated the cheese themselves and it seemed to get everywhere....!:eek::D

    Ironing will get done later (only 2 x duvet covers, 1 x fitted sheet) catching up with H0lby :) May just about have enough washing by tomorrow morning to make it worthwhile to do a load (will see what weather is like before deciding!)

    Morning all. Hope you're all ok and hugs if not.

    I didn't get a chance to post yesterday but before the paid stuff I did lots including cutting the back grass,walking the dogs,doing an errand for a friend and dropping my car off at the garage.

    This morning I plan to catch up with yesterday's kitchen list.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all
    Hugs good wishes, get well and coping vibes to all who need them.
    Had a lovely meal out last night with dd3s future inlaws -they are just as lovely as their son. Can't believe the happy couple have been together 10 years and we've only met his parents a couple of times in passing so it was lovely to spend an evening with them.
    Up at five thirty, washing is hung out and all rooms ready for the boiler fit e dragged furniture away from rads and cleared the airing cupboard, I've deliberately saved myself a bit of ironing for today as I don't know which rooms I'll be able to go in but given that we've trashed most rooms I'll have my work cut out getting it all back tidy once it's finished.

    Morning all. Pouring with rain here but luckily I got lots of washing dry yesterday so I don't have enough for a load today.

    Not even been over for a newspaper yet, I'll wait and see if the rain goes off but it's not looking hopeful at the moment. Shopping due between 9 and 11 and haircut at 11.30 so that's my exciting morning.

    Think the cat has just woken DH up by shouting outside the bedroom door so off to put the kettle on again. She's been fed and been out the back and front - yes, it's raining both sides - so she's just shouting in her endearing senile way. Grrr.

    That should have read

    And again

    On a work day I'd have needed an alarm.

    Sorry

    Fell back to sleep, just made a coffee.
