Morning everyone!

Got a man coming this morning to deep-clean my disgusting lounge, dining room and hall, stairs and landing - yeah! So I will concentrate on the lounge today. Got to clear everything out now and will give all a thorough clean before it goes back.

More later ...

10.39 - Man is now cleaning carpets so decided to photo things for eBay as I'm banished to one room!

Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more

• 27 fling boogie time, go on grab a bag and clear that clutter

Deep Clean Challenge
Clear the top and bottom of your wardrobe and fling out those dust mermaids and odd stray socks .. sift through it all and fling what you don't need.. wipe the tops and bottoms and don't forget to wash your handies afterwards.. then put back the sensible things you need to keep.. I have so much junk on top of my wardrobe I bet I could make £100 on ebay from it all!!

Morning :wave:

It's freeeeeeeeeeeezing! Who let all the cold in, it was red hot over the weekend. Been and done a few messages (got my car running) been to Asda, Argos, pound shop, garage for diesel, bank to pay in cheque and the cashpoint. Just going to get ready for DD's Harvest Festival shortly so I'm not posting a list yet as I probs wont be in till 3.30pm cause I'm going to OH's after the school assembly.

Not done a thing in the house yet but I S&S'd the kitchen after tea last night so that's fine - one less thing to add to my list later anyway, think I'll go and play on Facebook for a couple of minutes, laters x

:eek: Barely slept a wink last night because for some reason jerry and all his mousie friends decided to invade my flat last night:eek:
I've never had a problem with them before, though i do live in a 100yr old converted warehouse near the shore so i guessed there would be some somewhere but i'd never seen one.
Any suggestions for getting rid would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Have ordered some mousetraps on t'internet so they should arrive today:j

If they are the ones where you have to release the mice, make sure you release them atleast 2 miles from your house otherwise they'll come back.

The other way to do it is to get a tall bucket / bin, make some steps out of bricks or books up to the top of the bucket, put some food inside and wait. The mice will climb up and fall in to get the food but they can't get out.

Just make sure you catch all Jerry's friends, where there's one mouse there's several. You'll also need to ensure you block up anywhere they could get in and remove any sources of food, put things in plastic containers so they can't chew through the packets etc.

Definately not the ones you need to release from, sorry to all the mousie lovers out there, but took it as a personal insult that they decided to invade my house so they are not getting out of here alive:mad:

I'm really struggling to get my self motivated today. I feel really tired.
I've S&S kitchen, not managed anything else.
I'm having a coffee and then I'm going to do the bathroom and bring the hoover downstairs.Then I'll probably need another coffee....!
Should really put another load in the WM...so I'll do those few things before I come back on, see in about half an hour!
