Second load of towels / tea towels now pegged out. It's glorious out there 

Mademoiselle

Fluttering along slowly here, I guess I've got plenty of time over the next few weeks so don't need to get everything done day 1
TD on as it's damp
Pellet stoves cleaned, reloaded and on
All work admin done fpr the time being
Dining room table cleared, cleaned
Dining room and kitchen vacuumed
Rubbish taken out
Lunch eaten
Work papers put in a pile, books put back on bookshelf
Dot to dot in the kitchen

Once I've finish my cup of tea I'm going to clear the desk and clean it so OH can use it if he's working from home tomorrow

Keep smiling

Well done with the spellings,  Dot and Pigpen xx

I have rage cleaned DH's ensuite   and folded up his clean clothes and put them away tidily.  He won't need his gym bag for a few months, so it's gone in the drawer under the bed.  Let's see how long it takes him to notice!

Coffee in hand, then out with Rosie.  It's so warm, i don't think I'll need a coat

Folded a large mountain of clean stuff. Started folding the stuff on the sofa in the back room and found a bag of fluffy onesies and a bed sheet one of the kittens seems to think is a toilet... very very wet bag of smelly things.. in the washer on a hot wash with lots of disinfectant and deterrgent.. I will line dry it and see where it is at. GROSS ... I have 5 litter trays, he has no excuse!

Quickly slurped a cuppa... and my 'school pick up' alarm has just gone off.. OH is collecting today.

Meem has messaged saying her work experience placement with college has been cancelled but she is staying at her friends until the weekend .. one less to feed..
I shall go move some more laundry so when OH gets home he can move a couple of tables and toy boxes which are cluttering up the back room. I am considering making the back room into a workspace for learning.. just in case.. but that will require a fair bit of shifting stuff about. but right now it is a smelly corridor and I am sick of looking at it as it is. I am getting one of the wall mounted electric fires so we can have that room as our 'winter sitting room' as it is very warm in there and FREEEEEEZING in here in winter! I am hoping to start making better use of the space we have and be thankful we are not living in a mud hut, a tent or anything else. I pay a lot of money for this house and we are not enjoying it like we should be.

Back on the stinky mess!!

Definitely a priority   
We all need hugs - I got nice ones from my DS1 and DDiL1 yesterday when I went to babysit DGD1+2

Coffee drunk, time to go out before the sunshine disappears

Dogs collected and walked.  Flying will resume tomorrow.

Washing on the line and 2 more loads in.. one is just 3 blankets so can go straight out and stay there until they are dry. I have 2 more loads of cat-wet to get through but that should all go on the line and on airers. I have a full dryer load of socks and pants!
6 loads folded and on my bed so I am given OH a list of fun tasks and heading u p there to put it away. I have an empty box too so I am going to fill that with outgrown toys and send them off to the charity shop.
Broken fish tank and wash baskets taken to the tip and on the way OH picked up some bits from DD1's so her garden is clearer too. He lifted her dryer back up onto the work top too.. the engineer lifted it down and refused to put it back up.. she is 8 months pregnant and lives alone what he thought she was going to do with it blocking the door to the toilet is beyond me!

Cuppa and laundry sorting followed by toy flingage for me and OH can move the tables in the back room, carry boxes of toys upstairs and then find some floor in the front room.. I will scrape all the stuff to the middle of the floor for him to put away.. and the girls can help.

While he was hanging washing out I let the kittens explore the garden a little... I have 1 who didnt go out because he was asleep, 2 who were too terrified to be outside and 2 who nosied in EVERYTHING!! We are building an enclosed catio area they won't be allowed to wander.

Work done, if I had a pound for every time I heard 'Missssss, when is school closing?' ....

As such, all students are giddy, awaiting a closure and seemingly incapable of concentrating. After work I went to the post office, collected kidlets, cooked a chicken dinner, put a wash load on and had a shower. Recycling bin has gone out for collection in the morning, we are all ready for bed.

Kaz - I am keeping everything crossed for you lovely xx
Round, Piggers offspring - I hope you are all feeling better very soon xx

Stay safe one and all. Thanks for being my friends, it's at times like these I think I'd be doolally without you guys to talk to xx

Evening all

busy day of paid stuff done, DH not home yet, hoping he’s been told he can work from home after today’s latest government advice.
bathrooms cleaned, bins emptied and disinfected, all switches, handles etc wiped with antibacterial spray.
inside of car cleaned and wiped over thoroughly as well
2 small errands run
phone calls made to older people in my book group, everybody has what they need but we’ve arranged to check in with each other regularly 

stay safe and well all xx
