Cool - it's the dining room today....so...

• Clear table and relocate all the accumulated gibble.
• Sort dresser cupboards
• Pot on chilli plants from Gro-lights - will require a trip to the GC for potting compost, so will tie that in with a dog walk around lunch time.
• Tidy up nail stuff
• Hoover, mop and dust
• Sort out sewing stuff - material, embroidery box
• Clean out understairs cupboard and tidy, throw or donate some of the junk.
• Collect up all DIY tools (why are they even in here?!)
• Scrub wall behind dresser with bleach to ensure any mould spores are dead then paint with stain blocker.

WUDLTD, WM x 2, TD x 1, recycling and wheelie bin out, HHI done andc3mails checked so far.  Small people are still in bed.

Morning waves to any sleepyhead

I tried sorting parents evening appointments for Squeak but they are all gone.. so that was a bust. I am getting in touch with the SENCO about our next meeting though. I've not been able to check emails since my taplop needs fixing.. I shall be nagging Boog once they stop whining about having a blooming simple cold.. it's not the 'rona they'd be in hospital by now.. that with the 'betes is an absolute killer! 

I am showered.. and dressed.. Wet hair shoved in my hat to keep it out of the way while I do stuff. OH took the turnips to school. 

I gathered laundry in the bathroom.. 

Today I have a quandary.. do I.. 

a. clean the bathroom into submission... 

OR 

b. de-grot the backroom which everyone sees when they come to the house? 

Both will take 3-4 hours.. yes my house is that grim.. so I can't do both and while I could do one today and one tomorrow.. I might not WANT to do one tomorrow! (Like wanting to do the front room yesterday, doing other stuff instead and now I don't want to do it)

WM's
laundry shuffle.. it rained overnight so the stuff which was dry last night is now not... it will stay out until it is dry!
I have more to go out

Morning

Raining here, (the first proper rain for about 3 weeks) so fence painting / cutting grass / getting moss of roof all on hold.  It is raining that much even the cats are in, and play fighting.

So far I have done

Kitchen

Sorted ash and log

Cleaned out a 3 draw unit in the kitchen:- eveything out, wiped out, rubbish in bin, what was left (cutlery, long spoons, etc) back in neatly, in sets, all the right way round, looks so much better.

Cleaned the front of all the kitchen unit, removed all paw prints, where they jump up to to the top of the tall cupboards.

Clean out what I call the medical draw, bined 80% of it, ood stuff, put back what is left.

Fed the birds /deer.

Pigpen glad sfil is getting the help he needs and can be monitored in hospital for his future needs, hope your mil get all help she needs as well.

Thank you for today’s list. I am currently taking a break from sorting out my dried food cupboard. Well actually it is a dried food and baked goods cupboard, but I am only tackling the dried food. I bought some storage containers in Lidl yesterday, which I hope are going to keep things a bit tidier. 

We have a pigeon nesting in the hedges. She seems very happy with the selection of lentils, pearl barley, rice, stuffing, and pumpkin seeds that I have swept up from the base of the cupboard.

Since the rain this morning, I have now this afternoon cut the grass, front and back garden, it looks a load better, but  needs another cut in a few weeks when it has leveled up a bit.

Started to get the moss off the roof............

The paid stuff is hideous, the to do list just gets longer, stress levels are through the roof. 

If I didn’t know better, I would say that we were in the same workplace…Hugs, we will get through this x

Not entirely sure that I have flown today 🤔🤔 I might have unpegged a dry sheet before I left for work this morning. Semblance of a paella cooked for dinner, DH washed up so the floor hasn't been swept and now I cba to go back and do it. Excuse for a pack up ready for tomorrow - 3 crisp breads and a cuppa soup anyone?

So.... I managed to tidy the table and rehome dumped items, nail items and tools - I  made space in the dresser, then promptly filled it with most of the carp

Went to the garden centre and picked up potting compost that weighed an absolute tonne - clearly had been rained on.  Nearly gave me a hernia lifting it up onto the checkout for scanning.  5 chilli plants potted on and some new seeds set in the Gro-light - sweet peppers, Magnolias and Nasturtiums.  I spent an age updating my seed and sowing spreadsheet and am now having a panic attack over what needs to be planted by the end of February....My kitchen garden is still a total mess from winter!

Haven't primed the flood-stained wall yet and TBH, I CBA, as I've just rediscovered the bar of chocolate I had stashed away.  Might just sit down now... argh, I did say I was going to spray paint the polar bears tonight...ah well...

Well done ladies on all your hard work today. I have been doing this for ten days now, and I’m am starting to see big improvements. Thank you.

- Did some washing up before I went to the gym.
- Did body pump and realised I'd left my towel at home. Managed a hand/face wash using paper towels then (sorry student) sprayed copious amounts of deodorant and perfume on.
- Student didn't comment.....did assessment.
- Filled bird feeders.
- Mr N flew round the lounge/diner before the nurse came to supervise his first injection, yee ha he's finally had it after 18 months of waiting. Nurse (who is attached to the rheumatologist so sees these patients and the medication as her full time job) is very confident that it will begin to make a difference to him bit by bit from about 2 weeks, reaching a peak by about 12 weeks.  All sorts of procedures - if we go abroad the stuff needs a carrying (ice) bag and a letter to get it past customs.  
- did drum practice
- just writing up a report, I'm about a week ahead of where I usually am so am trying to keep the momentum going.
