    Room of Doom looking a lot less as though a pile of gibble has exploded, and a lot more like an office. Some of it's been dusted, too.
    Better is good enough.

    Hello all. Back to normal life from today.

    I have done one work shift, household and council admin, dog walk and dailies. Just about to sort third wash load.
    Spend less now, work less later.

  • Love your lists and can only hope that you don't have the same reason for 'bottoming' each room that I had. We had a very unwelcome little furry animal visit from the garden. The house has never been so clean nor had as many mousetraps dotted around. What a wake up call.
  • Pickle's tea time and second update of the day - this afternoon has been much less productive, but let's see what I can tick off of the list...

    [STRIKE]Shower & wash hair
    Fold up & put away dry washing[/STRIKE]
    Hang up wet washing there appears to be an issue with the spin on the washing machine, need to investigate.
    [STRIKE]Gather washing & put on if full load [/STRIKE] i actually found enough for two loads - go me!
    Hang up this washing if I do it. will be done while Pickle's having his bath
    [STRIKE]Pack clothes for week away at work
    Order travel hair dryer and new phone charging cable[/STRIKE]

    I was so over-excited that the RoD had been given a thorough sort out that I completely forgot to deal with the (Christmas) mincemeat I made yesterday. I will be jarring it at midnight at this rate.
    Better is good enough.
  • A mixture of good news and some upset today. Needless to say I'm now scrubbing my home within an inch of its life due to an ill timed, upsetting remark about my house from someone I love.

    To me it's clean-ish, tidy and my kids are happy. That's good enough for me usually but this remark has really got to me.

    I am in for the Christmas card swap please :)

    I finished work three hours ago and my shoes are still on. Having a beer and some crisps, which may well be my dinner :o
