    Top floor done
    Bathroom scrubbed
    Bins emptied
    Bed made with fresh linen
    Windows open, it’s quite mild here
    Moving down to the middle floor next, really just one room there as master bedroom and en suite still out of commission.

    Morning :wave:

    Weekend Willi is back :D Wondering if One Job Willi and Sunday Willi will be coming out to [STRIKE]play[/STRIKE] fly again this weekend.

    Reporting in for duty, ma’am! Take care of yourself, Round, it’s dangerous stuff, this flying lark.

    Everyone is so busy this morning!

    I’ve done 2 x loads of wm, and declined draping the underwear until the boiler man has been to sort out the heating. I don’t want to upset him ;)

    I’ve picked a bucket of tomatoes, so I need to find some jars for preserving, along with the inclination, as the freezer is packed full. Whilst I was out picking in the greenhouse I saw the pansies that I bought to plant up about 3 weeks ago. Whoops :o

    Just scribbling a vague meal plan for the week, as everyone is in and out. Veggie chilli is in the sc for later as I’m off out shortly on my Saturday taxi duties.

    Dailies done, ended up doing three wash loads all now drying indoors, and dug up the last of the tomato plants.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Another gammy knee here :( probably due to driving DH's non-automatic car on mostly twisty roads for 3 days. So I haven't done any work in the garden - instead I have half-tidied my desk, written some cards, and curled up on the sofa with a :coffee: and sleep-inducing daytime TV :D

    Rosie wants a walk, so I shall drive most of the way to the fields and just let her run around with the other dogs. It's been dry here so far today, but rain is forecast for later this afternoon/evening.

    Can't do any washing until after the repair man has been out on Monday!

    WU that was LTD has now been DU and PA :D
    jar has been recycled

    going to fetch in the towels / tea towels - the sun came out so they may have dried a little :)

    DS has informed me that he is taking GF out for tea - so we've had a snacky lunch and I just have to feed myself later.

    Athletics and Strictly for me now.

    Back from walk, went to a local natty trust place for a tramp about, feel better for it. Washing just about dry so have folded and put in airing cupboard. Put another load on to wash which can dry overnight on the airers.

    Might try and do a bit of paperwork sorting, then supper, reset kitchen and a bit of tv this evening I think. Have a lovely evening all xx

    Well I have done next to nothing all week.. I did have a drug crazed frenzy yesterday I think.. maybe the day before whatever that was.. I had a massive strop about the state of the hallway and cleared and cleaned about a quarter of it. I sorted Twinkle chest of drawers and filled 2 binbags of outgrown/will be outgrown by next summer stuff to fling.

    I'm abreast of the washing and even have everything folded.. it needs putting away but my house is a tip and I cannot get to most of the cupboards to get that done.. OH has decided we are taking the smalls to his work for food this evening which should be fun with the idiotic annual fair on the go.. but Dot tried really hard at swimming and it is a reward for her effort so she will of course behave like a baboon while we are out and spoil her good behaviour.


    DW all done so I have nice clean pots.. bin emptied.. and I have asked 3 people to put the recycling out so of course because I haven't done it myself it hasn't been done. This lack of help was the ultimate cause of the frenzy on whatever day it was.. I am so sick of being taken advantage off.. grnated OH works but that doesn't mean he cannot bring a wash basket down without being asked.. 2 of the others are at college.. but they can load dishwasher or bring laundry down or vacuum.. the other 2 slob about and do absolutely nothing day after day and don't lift a finger unless I nag.. and I lost my cool.. there are 7 adults living here and there is only me does anything now DS1's novelty with cleaning the kitchen has passed.. After he lost my apple corer and smashed my cooker of course.

    Anyway.. the half the hallway got vacuumed and all but the top 4 stairs (my noonoo doesn't reach those!) I rejiggled all the stuff. I need to clear under the stairs so I can poke a chest of drawers in there and I need to empty the kallax drawers, 5 of which are full of the detritus from the bookcase I sent to DS1's ex2.. in February!!

    I NEED to be home alone during the day so I can crack on without resenting everyone laid in bed. I need OH to have a 9-5 job too.. I just want him to come home, have dinner with me and the girls and everyone go to bed at a sensible time. I don't think that is asking for a miracle.

    Suppose I should go make sure everyone is appropriately dressed and brush various heads and locate shoes..

    Try again next week.. I am considering moving out and leaving everyone here.
