Been caught out! I've been ordering online for Mr M for next day delivery and suddenly he can't deliver until later in the week - next available slot is 10pm- 11pm on Wednesday...nope, that's after my bedtime. So Thursday between 8pm and 9pm it is then.
I can now plan what is needed until then and buy it from Mr C00p. Not very mse but I'll look for YS as I always do

Back from dropping dogs off. DH is on his way home from COVID test. Going to wash breakfast dishes, put sofa throws in machine and scrub kitchen sink next.Spend less now, work less later.8

I've lit the fire and feel so cosy and relaxed. Forced myself into the garage to chop kindling for ten minutes, it's worth it for the free heat but it really does hurt my hand! Veg prep next x7

Taken my list to Mr C00p - only two cars in the car park so in I went. We now have food until Mr M delivers on Thursday. My anxiety went through the roof so I am now sat feeling very hot - literally had to mop my brow. I know it's ridiculous - but heyho. Feel the fear and do it anyway. I get that - but it's the village shop, not a bungie jump!!!!

Well, 2x WM hung out and on the airer
TD on
DW done.. needs doing again though but the cat dishes were vile and had to be done before they had breakfast.
Moomins room bleached so mould free.. I have white emulsion and a 10L tub of the grey of the 1 wall she likes so I can slop over the mould marks on the ceiling with aluminium paint.. get that painted and the 3 dark walls can have a couple of white layers (currently dark purple and dark blue and need to be very pale dusky pink and light grey.. and glittery. so a couple of white coats will improve it hugely. Curtains in the wash, window scrubbed and room dewebbed. I have a pale dusky pink carpet coming next week for in there so it has to be painted this week.. thankfully OH is furloughed... hahaha!! Moomin isn't in college this week though so will have to squeeze it in around her.
We need a pets at home trip for cat litter and a B&M trip for grey curtains, juice and cat litter.. if we miss it being open we will have to grab litter from somewhere.. the trays are all empty and scrubbed.
Next on the list..
Dig out paint and rollers.

WM is on with Moomins curtains but they are going up in DS2's room once they are clean. His are also black.. but glittery.. I will be swapping his for light blue ones when I get his room decorated.. he has been waiting 3 years and was next on my list until Meem moved out.

Wm is swishing its 2nd load as the first load (Dd’s sheets) seems to have somehow managed to dry. HHI done, bathrooms s&s, and downstairs dusted and vacc’d. It is now raining as well as misty, so outside jobs are off.

Been to Saver$ for essentials - wrote a list so I remembered what I actually needed, then to Mr. M.s for a few bits. Needed coriander for soup. And was v. short of cat food. Unpacked shopping and finally got round to unpacking the big bag with the bunny food in. In related news the mouse has been found, and, as it has expired, been disposed of.
Have also emptied work bag - step one in process of tidying it. My 'covid/medical' pouch had emptied - make up style bag with masks, gel, painkillers and inhaler in. Ripe bananas have been turned into banana loaf for work, with a slightly adapted recipe choc chips instead of sultanas; caster sugar instead of soft brown.
