    Evening all, No flying done here since Tuesday as worked Tuesday until late and then all day today. But on my way home I did a couple of errands and then went shopping. Picked up all I need to cook for lunch with girlfriends on Friday so tomorrow I will throw together a chilli as it always tastes better the following day.
    Hugs & GWS to all who want or need
    See you tomorrow

    What bliss to walk in after work to a clean, tidy kitchen.

    Then I made my tea...

    F&v bought at market first thing this morning. Wm x 1 done. Kitchen just given a post-dinner s&s. DH being a prime pita.

    GWS wishes to all poorlies.
  • Evening all

    I've finished the washing I had (apart from what we are wearing today) and the works washing is now in. DDs grey bedding is in the TD, I wanted to freshen it up so stuck it through a quick wash. Apparently her tartan bedding is for Christmas. She's been informed tartan is for life not just for Christmas in this neck of the woods! Everything has been folded and out past.

    Dinner made, scoffed and washing up done. Trying to keep that 'dot' clean. DD now away to dancing. So I'm going to have a wee potter around.

  • Found some guag so I
    Emptied the Tupperware cupboard flung everything that didn't have a lid or lids that didn't have an everything.
    Emptied the two drawers next to it and flung sorted as needed.
    Tidied the sink unit cupboard
    Emptied the cupboard with the pots, blenders and stuff in. Flung a rusty wok and a Mickey mouse blender that doesn't work (why did I hold on to it?!)
    All cupboards cleaned and things put back nicely I even have room for my sc now.
    Draining board emptied
    Washed wm drawer and wiped the rest of it down.

    Just the fridge, the pantry and the big cupboard where the ironing board and hoover live to do now and those 2 drawers that I'm putting off cause they are full of mince :o

    Work washing in the TD, I'll try to remember to take it with me in the morning. I'll see how I feel when it's done then I might wash the condenser out.

    I now have tea and I'm somfa :D

  • Good evening :D

    Thanks for the lists - I have failed miserably this week so far!! :rotfl:

    Decorations were taken down on Sunday and put in the loft. LR was hoovered and dusted, so not too bad in there. On Monday I retrieved the toys stored in the shed over Christmas ready for work on Tuesday.

    Busy day today - 4 boys aged 3 and under! I am still recovering :rotfl::rotfl:

    Diet ditched as DS offered to buy pizza :o I need to clean up the DR as my grumpy dog decided to take the pizza boxes back out of the recycling and shred them under the table!! He is 10 1/2 years old, and not done that before!! He keeps acting up (more than usual). DD1 thinks he may be trying to tell us something :(

    I finish at 2pm tomorrow. I need to empty my compost bin at least a bit, so that I can fit more in! Then I am picking up DD2 from work and we are going for a run (homework for C25K!) Plan B (if its raining), clear the chair in my bedroom that is piled with clothes and other tut (and still go for a run).

    I also plan to update my Toots list (I need to find it first!) and then start working on it!

    I have decluttered some pounds this week - unfortunately the sterling sort! We have booked an expensive running weekend in September, but it will be fun!! Honest!!! :D

    Hugs, sticks and spoons to those that need them. Nighty night all!
  • Hi all

    DD home from dancing, was just chilling and had no intentions of doing anything else but I had to get up and help her with something so I just folded the work washing, put it in a bag and sat it next to my handbag for tomorrow. Emptied the water out of the TD and I've washed the condenser and filter they are now drying. Don't know how the dryer was still working that's the worst I've ever seen it :o

    Off to bed in a mo, night night sleep tight x
