Well, I have got two new customers from my Facebook marketing, so I'm very pleased with that!
3hrs of cleaning down this morning at three different customers, so I'm pooped from cycling around and cleaning. Had a lovely shower when I got home and didn't want to get out. It was one of those showers where you think 'I could just live in here, this is my home now' 🤣

Thanks MMP x
Doesn't happen to me too often SC. When I came out DH was surprised I'd been in so long and said I dont usually mess around when it comes to showers 🤣
Yesterday was 2hrs cleaning for my grandad and today I've done 3hrs of cleaning. Tomorrow I have a day off! Then hopefully tomorrow afternoon Doggo will be having his stitches out. I really hope he's all healed, so we can get back to some normality!
I was able to sell an unused puppy pen that was still in the box, as not long after we got Saga we knew she was a jumper and a puppy pen was not going to contain her 😅

Had a lovely day off yesterday, and it was still productive with two loads of washing done, dried and put away. Hoovering done and budgies cleaned out.
Doggo did have his stitches out but he still has to be careful with no stairs still and short walks only. He has to wear his cone as well when unsupervised. After the weekend he should be all ok to go back to normal. I also received the insurance claim payout, so I'm pleased with that.
I've been to a new cleaning customer this morning for an hour and they are now scheduled in for 2hrs every Monday! Yay! They are in the next village which is 2 miles up the road. Wasn't a bad cycle there and back, but not going to fun in winter 😅
2hrs of cleaning to do this afternoon and then we'll have pasta for tea.

Just catching up Jessy so glad you got some new custom so quickly! Can you get a bus to the other village in winter when it's really bad? Hope doggo heals quickly and is allowed to go unsupervised 😆🫢.

Thanks DFW x Unfortunately, buses are few and far between here, so it is unlikely. I will just need to make sure I am wearing suitable clothing! I have also arranged to go in the morning, to ensure I wont cycling in the dark.

Ah I thought they might be. Hopefully it will be okay then especially if it's done early whilst still light 😊.

Two cleaning jobs done this morning and one this afternoon. I got some freebies from this afternoon's customer as she had a few sanctuary bits that she'd tried but wasn't fussed about (shower gel, shower scrub and body lotion), so she asked if I wanted them before binning, erm.. yes please 🤣 I know this might make me sound like a right cheapskate, but I've always liked Sanctuary stuff but don't buy it because it's expensive, so waste not, want not!
DH asked me what was for tea at dinnertime and when I said I wasn't sure as I hadn't looked yet, he said 'chippy tea it is then', so that was a nice treat 🙂
I have tomorrow off, unless i decide to go clean for my grandad, instead of going Sunday. I haven't decided yet and will see how i feel in the morning. I've had a banging headache all day, which I think is the humidity, so I do feel like having a rest day tomorrow.
