    Morning all. Hope you're all ok.

    I have done the dailies and dusted the hobby room. Will see what I can do from the list before the paid stuff.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Morning all!

    Pinches and punches, happy Yorkshire Day and happy birthday to ATBs DD :D

    I've had a shower and breakfast, need to dry my hair. Will sort the bin stuff and wash up then I'm off to buy some more salad, between me and the Guinea pigs we appear to have eaten all the lettuce and spinach, lol.

    Going to pop in to my mums too, so will check if she needs anything. Aww, she sent me a pic of the baby laid on my stepdads hand - he's tiny. She said he squeaks, lol. Seems he's actually 6 weeks old and weighs 4lb - so very tiny to say he was due about now.

    I dusted and vacced the hall, and the stairs were done last week, so just LR for me today. Might get rid of the flowers on the mantle, they are annoying me!

    From the list I have in the LR! Wiped the paintwork, cleaned under furniture (yuk, it's obviously where Poppet stores chews and finds from the garden), emptied rubbish from the only drawer in the room and wiped some of the glass - we have lots.

    Paid stuff now.

    Morning all.

    atb Happy birthday to your DD and hope you have a great day in Scarborough:D

    I am about to do the ironing which is only 4 items after doing it last week thanks to the lists :T Then a hunt in DS2's room as he's had a letter saying he's got a tax rebate but he's in America and doesn't know his national insurance number so can I 'have a root please Mum' :rotfl:

    I'll do the living room list which From memory I have to wash the window and move the sofas to vac under them. Everything else is ok but I'll double check.

    Valli Hope your daughter has a great time and that you enjoy a bit of me time. I'm still enchanted at things staying as I left them since my DS1 moved out in May. The novelty has not yet worn off :)
