Blitzing bits off the lists, albeit a bit incoherently and disorganised.
Bathrooms cleaned.
LR and hall dusted. Flowers thrown. Remotes and door handles cleaned.DW emptied, a load of towels on the line. Odd kitchen bits done, including flinging the plastic boxes where the lids have mysteriously gone awol. Bin cleaned. Cba to get the vacuum cleaner out atm.
Waiting for Mr M delivery, but I haven’t had the confirmation that they are on their way, which is unusual. Something tells me it is not boding well and I should have stuck to my evening delivery slot.9 -
Good morning!
We finished cleaning the patio yesterday (yay!) I then tidied up the pots, and replaced tables, etc. I have swept down the back door, but it still needs cleaning. The grass has also been cut. It looks much better out there.
DH then washed his car. Mine was parked behind it - he didnt wash mine. It has really annoyed me tbh. It is not like he doesn't use it! He used it on busy A roads for 2 days in the snow!! It is fairly new - his car is a skip!! I said nothing as I didn't think it was worth an argument.
I am working today. We have been for a walk to the park with the dog, and I will do some lunch in a mo. Lots of paperwork on my list, and other stuff. I don't suppose much will get done!
On the subject of cats, mine has only just started to go out. He seems like the sort of cat that will enjoy hunting, so I have this joy to come! He practices stalking on grumpy dog while he is sleeping!!
Have a good day everyone!8 -
Dogs walked and properly groomed so they can stay in for rest of day now. Dailies are done. Feeling more positive now and not eating junk so far today. About to do the joyous job of unblocking the toilet then I will steam mop the floors.
A friend has just contacted me to go for a socially distanced walk later, so I'll use the opportunity to take photos of the village and stop off at the shop.Spend less now, work less later.10 -

I have a touch of financial cramp after the vet decided today to run a full blood screen for the dog but I do understand the reasons. *Ouch* just the same. This is a tight month so I could have done without that but after her experience last year I daren't turn it down.Two more photographs chucked and I'm about to start on the next file because I need to ditch 13 bits of paper today. ETA: 41 gone. *fling*I'm really making an effort to deal with the accumulation of stuff here by aiming to sort a space a day even if it's only a small one, and this morning as I was squashing the clean superking fitted sheet into the linens drawer and gnashing my teeth with frustration I realised that drawer has been driving me mad for years. I've turfed absolutely everything out except for one change of towels and bedlinen. The rest is going up to the attic because OH would have an attack of the vapours if he thought I was about to donate as much as I'd like *flung*. As it was he had plenty of 'advice' to offer on how much more we needed in the drawer as he was handing it up to me for the loft. *sigh* No wonder we're drowning in gibble.Better is good enough.10

carrots and sweet potato turned into soup. Tested said soup and decided that the creme fraiche in the recipe was a definite so have had to nip to shop. Tastes lovely. Offered friend some too; she's picking it up later.

Hi ladies
Busy day at work done.
Dry laundry put away, roast dinner cooked, DD taken to opticians and has a referral to an eye clinic, rice pudding made in slow cooker, packed lunches made, hens cleaned out. No wonder I’m tired xx

I spent an hour at the allotment after Mr M had delivered. I wasn’t enthusiastic, but it was pleasant out in the sun for a while.Dinner cooked (local butcher sausages, rather good), WULTD, DH has now DUPA. Kitchen swept and tidied. Need to sort the washing for the morning, and think of something inventive to do with some puff pastry for dinner tomorrow night, otherwise that’s me done for today.
DD’s surgery appointment has arrived.10
