    Ironing foothill cleared; ironing in front of sunny, open window to air.
    Weeds/grass pulled from border.
    Weeds on path/block paving sprayed (again) some of them have had the decency to look ill :rotfl:
    My bed stripped.
    Another washload done and out on line; lines full. What's been out all morning is drying well.
    Pots washed. DW emptied.

    Just having a :coffee: then I'll make my bed and clean DR and vacuum stairs.

    Well done, Kazwookie.

    I'm Kondo'ing photographs. It's very therapeutic.
    Better is good enough.

    My bedroom cleaned. DR cleaned, stairs vacuumed after stripping down the whizzy sucker accessory, which wasn't whizzing, and cleaning it of hair etc which was stopping it.
    Washing brought in; rabbit hutch set back up.

    And it's a VERY good job I have done so much as I'm working ... someone's injured.

    there's a new thread...

    OH minced the grass today so we could see how dreadful the demossed/dead patches are.. it is bad.. very bad.. naked bits sprinkled with fertiliser/grass seed/moss killer.. and I am watering that if it is still light once Twinkle is asleep.. tomorrow we are throwing actual grass seed about and covering with a liberal amount of compost. we have enough about to feed the flappies they are not welcome to my baby grass!

    My butt hurts from the moss digging yesterday!!



    6 loads of washing done, I even managed to get the girls bed sheets washed and dried. I have dried and folded 3 loads. I still have some airing in the dryer, 2 loads on the line and 2 loads filling up rapidly in the washing machines..

    DW been on twice.. filter needs cleaning so OH can do that, I struggle to climb in to reach it.. his arms are a great deal longer than mine so it is no bother for him at all!

    School uniform half found while I was folding, I even found Twinke a matching pair of socks for tomorrow.. that is almost unheard of! I am down to an airer and 2 baskets full to fold.. a definite improvement!

    Maggot bins emptied.
    brown bin taken round to the front to go out tomorrow night.
    I threw out 3 things.. DS2's pj trousers with no elastic, a pair of Dots leggings with a huuuuuge hole in the crotch and one of OH's tshirts he has had for at least 15 years and is scruffy and grey and nasty.. GONE!

    CF shenanigans expected.. DD1 was seen talking to it earlier.. and Moomin ignored it blatantly.. she actually pretended to be talking on her phone.. I'm staying out of it and waiting for the bomb to drop.. I can't get in bother than way.. !!!!!! it was doing on the commoner wagon I have no idea, I've probably sabotaged its car again.. from my chair, I am talented like that. I have done it three time apparently! Not a shred of proof mind! haha!! Good job I'm not easily offended.

    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
