    THank you for the lists, I'm in as far as I can be. Hugs to all who need them and thank you for the kind words. I'm glad to be back to work and grateful for the normality that brings. Been drs tonight can't really see what it's achieving but 'she doesn't want me to slip through the net' had a proper melt down earlier but got through it now so done some knitting and now reading as I can't sleep.

    (((Hugs))) Mrs MP.

    Welcome back Mumof2 and YL.
    Welcome Tightening the Belt. :wave:
    Ionafan, I have a squeaky red fabric bone-shaped toy that none of my dogs have been interested in. Do you think Rosie would like it? (Decluttering!)

    Shower room sparkled, kitchen grubby corners given a fair bit of attention, and I'm just about to do the bathroom and my office sink. Then I'll get a white load ready to run tonight so I can peg it out first thing tomorrow when the forecast seems fair. Not sure what we'll be eating tonight and I'm not sure I can even be bothered about food enough to hunt something out of the freezer.

    That's enough for one day. Feeling very sluggish today.
    Better is good enough.

    Good evening :D

    Late to the party as usual...…
    Thanks Valli for the lists.

    Monday I did lots of catching up at the allotment - still lots to do!
    Tuesday I managed to sweep the back room and hoover the LR - not much else except dailies
    Today I have been mainly researching fridges! (along with the paid stuff, of course and the 1st of the month money juggle). My trusty fridge isn't well - it has never given us problems before, but is now freezing the fruit & veg in the bottom drawers and making a funny noise. I have been told by an engineer that it is ice inside and I need to empty it, switch it off and leave it to defrost - for about 4 days!!!! :eek::eek: I am now looking for someone that can lend me a small fridge while this one is out of action..... This solution won't cost anything, but if it doesn't work I will need a new fridge :( To be fair I have had the old one for nearly 17 years so that is not too bad!

    Tonight I am going to try and catch up on some paperwork and maybe clear the coffee table, which is full of my c*@p! (mainly paperwork, gardening mags & some seeds!!)

    Hugs to those that need them, especially JoJo & Mrs MP, welcome to newbies & hi to returners :)
  • Hi, well, I've done some (as below), and left some!! I also cleaned the inside window too. I'm going to replace my pull cord for the light, it's getting grubby, I just need someone to help me but I have the string at the ready.
    Shamefully I noticed a patch of tiles that still has a thin layer of grout on them, this is from work done last summer. Double shamefully I left it!!

    Level 1
    Fling open the windows
    Flush the loo and squirt something down it to start working
    Fling the towels in the WM
    Top up the loo roll holder

    Level 2
    Polish the taps
    Scrub the loo inside and out - and bleach it

    Level 3
    Dust sills and shelves
    Mop the floor
    Polish mirrors
    Put out clean hand towels, bathtowels, flannels etc

    Extras
    S&S kitchen
    A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
    You're welcome we can spare it, yellow socks

    Evening all. Just keeping on top of dailies here mostly. Did a work shift today and an unexpected visit from my sister who I hadn't seen for 7 years, and also a tv interview.

    Bit of a surreal day really. Better have a cuppa now and then do some knitting to get back to normality.
    Spend less now, work less later.
