  • jeez I am knackered!! I have done 2.5 hours of ironing( all done now though) , wiped all surfaces in kitchen, went for lunch with mum, sorted out some mail etc in kitchen and I am bushed. No point in doing any more in the kitchen as it is half stripped and getting prepped for decorating so no point in cleaning?? I am away for a wee snooze now as kids are settled and playing so I will get an hours peace and quiet x

  • Well, have practically finished the list. Ran out of cleaner half way through the oven so had to leave the rest of that and had to fight off OH from rescuing 3 chipped plates that we had!

    Kitchen is beautiful now (although OH is making dinner so might end up in its original state!) and I plan to get rid of the ironing pile now.

    Oh and need to put more stuff on ebay as am doing an "ebay raise £100 challenge" this week - although that is laughable as the stuff I have on ebay so far is crap to say the least!

    Mermaid, congratulations! See you on the MSE pregnancy board?
