Gws for Vallis DS GF...What a time to be going through the mill 
Thank you Ionafan, it has been getting more of a struggle. Roundtuit, I thank you for some fluffy mules and Badcat thank you for the tree trunk I need for the black dog.
I think yesterday's tactic of starting something in level 3 that I haven't done for a while helped get things moving.
I decided on the cutlery drawer seeing as the world and it's wife appeared to have been eating me out of house and home and everything was dirty......and cutlery drawer looked half empty. Stupidly it took less than 5minutes to go as it was just a matter of a few stray crumbs,things  needing rehoming elsewhere then a quick disinfect and rub down. Felt so much happier doing washing up knowing the tray was all freshly cleaned. 
Decluttered fatclub on zoom yesterday. DFF1 facebombed the meeting and set everyone of into hysterics until the Consultant dog started barking at her then all hell broke loose cos DFF1 thought I had betrayed her by letting a dog in HER house. So that lightened the mood a bit.
So, here is yesterdays progress report:

Monday Kitchen and Dining Room
Level 1 mostly complete except
(STILL OUTSTANDING.. under plugs and under draining racks)
RETIRED your manky dish sponge to bathroom, and replace with a new one!

Level 2 mostly complete except
Sort fridge and wipe seals; weave stuff that needs using up into your meal plan
Wash out shelves and baskets.
Dust dining area/room
Clean WM , TD and DW filters; remove WM detergent drawer and wash it out.

Level 3 mostly complete except
Clean windows in both rooms.
Go round the whole house wiping door handles, light switches and banisters - we WILL be germ-free!

EXTRAS started.......

[STRIKE] HHI [/STRIKE] HH FUPA X 2 done instead!
S&S bathroom
Meal plan for the week.
Involve your small people according to their age/abilities/skill level 

OFF-PISTE - Skintys own stuff
HH decluttering in garage X 2
Stripped, washed, dried, remade and de-bobbled my bedding (re-using razor no longer sharp enough for their main function)
I have yet to make a start on today's listy as I have been awake since 3am but did re-home some stray DVD'S back to their storage box but that is it! I will try something from level 3 and see if that kick starts something to happen .....hugs sticks and spoons for everyone xxx

GI~~ I have not contacted the vendors as their estate agents told me in a very firm way not to as they are in isolation, I have been looking at other properties around here that are empty as you can move straight in to them under current gov. guidelines. The whole housing market around here has stopped fully, estate agents are closed  but ment to be working from home! nothing seems to be going on the market or off the market, some agents have been putting online virtual vids, but there to me are not the same as viewing the property

Ive paid next months, cattery, rent, lock up, and storage charges, and inwardly sobbed at the cost,.

Small shop done

Valli well done at the tweets, I have no idea how to tweet...............

Still plodding on in the spare BR which also involves sorting some of my clothes out as I am moving stuff around.
Question : I have quite a few pairs of tights which I hardly ever wear anymore - just on the odd occasion that I wear a dress for work or if I go out in a dress (bearing in mind that I don't go out out very often). There's nothing wrong with them though so I am loathe to throw them away or use them for stuffing or such like. I'm wondering whether to put them in a little bag under my bed as they are taking up valuable drawer space at the mo. What do you think?

MeandThe2

Ifan – hope the migraine is better this afternoon?

GI – the overwhelmed camp is not a nice place to be is it, for me it’s not just the house it's life in general too with what is going

Valli – Good luck with the beans 
 

Good news here!! I have a click and collect at MrS for next Monday and I am going to MrAl on Thur night (my friend has offered to go down, park next to my car and watch the kids whilst I go in)…whoop whoop I am so glad as the worry of not being able to do a proper food shop has been getting to me. Done a Month long meal plan so I can stock us right up with everything. Need both places as ds is food fussy and keeping his weight up is a task as it is.

Kids rooms done except for remaking dd bed she can do that herself just about. Think I am going to spend the rest of the day x stitching

pigpen

Me... I bought 6 3Kg bags of Dots pasta... I totally get the need for 'the right food'

Love and hugs and warmth for everyone.. I'm blooming freezing today!!!

I have got out of bed, had a shower and that is it.. I have a click and collect for OH to pick up 6-8pm. I REALLY feel the need for a takeaway today.. I can't because we can't afford it.. but I want one!

Loads of washing to go out on the line but I need to empty it first so I shall go do that shortly and S&S the kitchen.. it is vaguely habitable in there so not taking too long. 5 times I have asked OH to move this darn coffee table.. so I am going to pee him off by moving it myself.. he is clearly too lazy to do it.. it has been waiting to be moved since january but I have asked him 5 times since he finished work 4 weeks ago.. no real excuse for it to not be done!

Kittens outside pesting in their pen.

I am going to get myself a paint stripping hot air gun as soon as I can afford it and I am stripping doors.. I swera they have 130 years of paint on them.. that will keep me busy for  bit. OH it also swapping the lock in the back door for the one in the front door which is broken. We would burn to death before getting it unlocked!

Oooh I have tea... I will slurp that first..

Washing shuffle, S&S, move that darn table!!!

Fayolle

I sorted the rest of the dressmaking stuff that I could lay my hands on. I’ve now got itchy fingers to use some of the patterns that I sorted through. 
Dinner was a sc beef casserole - just right for the cold damp weather. The house smelt lovely and dinner was duly scoffed by all. I even had a mini baking session this afternoon so the rhubarb has been turned into edible things and we have a coffee cake in the tin. The kitchen has been tidied yet again.
I’ve paid a couple of bills, ordered some more fruit and veg to be delivered, but the iron that I should have ordered the other evening has now gone out of stock.  Grrrrrrrr😡.
That’s me done for the day. I might attempt a bit more knitting now.  I hope we all keep out of the wide awake club tonight x
