    I had 5 minutes spare :confused: lol I managed to:-

    * clear the living room (took me 2 mins to open the bl@@dy bin bag) shoved all of littleys junk in it - then took it upstairs to sort through on Friday
    * put the rug back into place (littley was 'river dancing' last night so had to move it :rolleyes: )
    cleared the stairs of junk - took those upstairs too and into appropriate places
    hoovered through downstairs
    mopped through downstairs
    took pic of hamper
    watered plant

    YAY! :j

    Here's the pic of my hamper

    I'm up for a challenge pigpen :j is there a prize....:D

    zacmilly it's to see what we can get done in the space of 30 minutes. Even if you do nothing else, 30 minutes of constant flying usually results in quite a bit done.
    Thanks!!! You got me off my bottom away from the PC.
    Set timer for 30mins and have:
    -Emptied bins- out to wheelie bin even tho' peeing down outside!
    -Wiped cupboard doors in kicthen, and kickboard bits underneath.
    -swept and washed kitchen, ulility, downstairs loo and bathroom floors.
    You're are right, you can do alot in 30mins if you try!

    Dusty continue with the family room - that's my vote happy0158.gif

    Rumbly great news about the house sale :T

    Tia what a worry they are, hope he gets better soon x
  • Dalies done
    Online banking all done
    Sorted 2 more drawers in family room.

    Dilema now - do I continue with family room or start the kitchen? Kitchen not too bad as done thoroughly last week - family room not been done in ages?

    I'll have my lunch whilst you lot vote. This poll will close at 13:30 - after that time your vote will not be counted but I'll thank you anyhow
    Family room!!
