Morning all

One load of washing out on the line. It doesn't seem to dry properly at the moment but it helps because after an hour indoors later it's ready to put away. And it smells lovely and fresh.

Did the living room yesterday, so I've vacuumed kitchen, hallway, stairs and bathroom and toilet floors (that's how far the lead reached!). S&Sd bathroom. Everything prepped for dinner. Watched two episodes of Corrie!

No I think asda are the same, what about a local bakery our local bakers still takes cheques where as most of the main stores have stopped taking them, which is a pain especially a couple of days before pay day.

Well we have heating and hot water back on after losing the boiler for a couple of days. I'm doing level 1 and 2. Already polished the living room (and vacuumed it yesterday), just got to hoover the hallway (can't do the stairs with being pregnant!) and water the plant. Did some filing earlier too. I guess a sensible way to continue would be to wrap christmas pressies!
