Hello Fast 👋
It's not you. Looking at the other lists for the week I'd say today will be Master Bedroom. Hope that helps.
Welcome aboard.

Not sure how it is already afternoon, but I have been productive, honest. The morning has been spent adminning. Little by little, step by step.Gold star to Rosie for being so good 🌟
Eltee, we are all waiting with bated breath….
The (vague) plan is to take a stroll to the allotment in a bit to see what is what, maybe come back with some veg for the meal plan, but that will depend on what happened to the remaining veg with all the cold weather. It will be some exercise and might shake my (admin related! ) headache. As I have a few minutes now, I am going to finish my coffee and then repair the duvet cover - my contribution to today’s bedroom list. One load through the wm and hanging on the airer in the DR.
I spent some time yesterday evening watching a couple of Dara K White’s videos - thanks to HB for that recommendation probably quite a while ago now. I very nearly felt enthused to declutter a bit, but that luckily passed 🤣. However, it was good to be reminnded of some of her strategies.6 -
Thank you for having me. I want to start some good habits as have been feeling completely overwhelmed by the amount of cleaning and clearing out to do. Having someone tell me what to do each day is incredibly helpful - huge thanks. I truly was flying earlier - master bedroom looks sparkling for the first time in many months!8

Afternoon already
I have
- had a cuppa in bed (coughed and coughed all night)
- showered and washed my hair, S&S'd bathroom
- eaten breakfast, loaded the DW, wiped down kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts
- hoovered all through upstairs and the staircase
- left the Dy$0n on charge
- done WMx3 of 4, TDx2
- made and drunk coffee, reminded DH that his was now cold
- paid L for Rosie's walks
- asked DH to hoover all through downstairs, including the utility and porches
Still to do:
- dust all through upstairs and downstairs
- hang up still damp laundry in the bathroom
- start the last WM load
- contact my friend and say I'll meet her for lunch tomorrow (my cough has settled now, despite the dusting - using a damp cloth)
- make lunch
- zzz or sort more photos - whichever happens first!

Well my week has gone to pot somewhat - illness struck the house. I have DS2 at home with me today because he’s poorly.Managed to get a few bits and pieces done - mainly just the everyday stuff I do and laundry (lots of that).Today I’ve managed to get DS1 to school, drop hubby at work (so he can pick DS1 up from school). Posted a parcel, picked up medicine for the dog and gave it to her.Not sure I’ll get much more done now, other than kitchen related feeding and cleaning. Ho hum.Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25
