Glad you are ok, ASB. Was about to ask about you, Ionafan and YL to see if all ok.
Downstairs dusted, tidied, vacuumed. DH is making a right mess on the landing so no point doing anything else where he is likely to walk through. Toilets and basins s&sd. Next job - clean out wm drawer - thanks Jazee for the reminder.9 -
Hi again
Well progress has been made, I scrubbed the both bathrooms top to bottom, sorted out airing cupboard, just ironing pile for DH in there now 😉 emptied and washed all bins, set wm to swish with towels, folded dry stuff from yesterday, tidied and dusted my office...then I popped out to give my car a quick run, collected prescription, only part of it there so will have to go again next week... popped in to Mr A for some meat for the freezer, cheaper than Mr T.Meanwhile DH has hoovered office and spare room, also his office so I left the dusting in there to him! Now he’s hoovering the lounge and bedroom, I’m having a sit then I shall start on the kitchen and dining room.
Dryish and sunny here now, hoping to get out for a walk after lunch.
Hugs again, take care all x7 -

Your flowers look lovely, Fayolle. Well done for posting the photo! Thanks for asking about me. I am fine, but have just finished dealing with reams of paperwork for my annual review
Big (((hugs))) to Narc0 - so sorry to hear the news of your friend xx
I didn't have a lot of flying to report in the middle of the week (having done a fair bit at the start), but today I have
- stripped my bed
- flung open windows while the sky was blue and sun shining (but now that I'm nearly ready to take Rosie out, it is cloudy and grey, of course)
- cleaned DH's ensuite thoroughly
- S&S'd kitchen
- S&S'd bathroom
- started WMx5
- arranged a bunch of flowers that DH bought me when he went to the local shops to pick up his prescription and apparently also took a diversion into the CoOp.
- tried to think what we might eat for lunch without using bread, crispbread, potatoes, rice, pasta or any other carbs - I am fed up with omelettes
Anyway, I'd better go and find something for us to eat, then don my muddy wellies again.
Stay safe in the snow, if you have it. If not, stay safe anyway xxx

Hi all
ASB I was worried about you, glad all is OK.
All is well here, thanks Fayolle x I am a little fed up - its grey, cold and damp and I am sick of being at home (like most of us I suppose). Voluntary job meeting this morning, have scrubbed the bathroom tiles with mould and midrew remover and left it to do its stuff, changed DS2s bed, did an inventory of our food stores and hoovered and mopped floors. The house smells vaguely of bathroom cleaner, even though the bathroom window is open a bit!
Off to put PJs on and watch a bit of telly I think.7 -

Loo, cuppa and Wow planned for this evening.. once again a very unproductive day!

Morning all xx
I keep thinking that I ought to get up earlier to practice for going back to work on Tuesday - but nah! Too comfy, cosy in bed and always things to think about, plans to make, dreams to dissect, people to pray for. So here I am, sat in my nightie and drinking my first brew. I am finally up. My bed is made. I'll set my alarm on Tuesday and muddle through
Round 1

Have cleaned out the rabbit hutch and understorey and, because it's dry and blowy left it all open to air/dry off.
Sill need at least one more coat but am waiting to hear if my friend wants to go for a walk first. Need to sort out curtain rail in guest room - while I'm on a roll I will clean that too, then hang the curtains properly, also need to attach end piece to the rail in my room - I'm hoping that the daylight will help me see what I am doing.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
