It's the opposite with me Rach, OH has always been OS/MSE style like forever, I just didn't recognise it, I just thought he was a tight git, but no he isn't, he's extremely good and could give Martin a run for his money (dare I say it) I cringe when he says 'well I told you that years ago but you didn't listen to me' blah blah blah!....now he's just a smug git lol

Pie's in the oven :j

Evening all, well me and poochie have had our kip, I feel nice and refreshed now.
I walked thru the kitchen with a big grin on my face thinking *sparkle* *sparkle* instead of averting my eyes from the usual pile of manky dishes

Interested to see whats on the agenda for tomorrow! Will it be the bedroom or the bathroom???
Bedroom prob needs it more than the bathroom.

Anyhoo, I'm off to make me some dinner (or is it breakfast for me?)

Gah! I only have 1 bedroom and it's mine and not on the list! Typical :rotfl:

Well I would have it as a day off, if my bedroom didn't need a going over. It may just be simpler to chuck a grenade in, I doubt it would make it worse!

I think I'll go for Level 3 tomorrow, the bed definatly needs turning and new covers etc.
I've also got to:

To do list:
Washing
Wash and vacuum car. Check oil etc.
Sort out the pile of [strike]junk[/strike] quality items that didn't sell at the boot sale.
Ring local paper and list some of ^^^ for sale. List rest on eBay.
Tackle my huge pile of ironing.
Sort & tidy thru my bedroom drawers.
Start packing for Fri, or at least write a list.
Get some plaster mix & fix hole in the kitchen wall (made by poochie!)

But first...a little tv, then work.

Me too! I pinned them in their room till it was gutted. 2 bags for the charity shop and floor space, I'd forgotten what the carpet looked like in the kids room.:D There's definitely more room in the house since I joined this thread. Caught with the living room too and relented and made choc chip cookies

Lil_me said cleaning other peoples houses doesn't count.. so no.. hiding stuff is the same.. it has to be a deliberate cleaning act.. (just off upstairs to hide 2 huge tubs of sweets and 7 boxes of christmas biscuits!)
