    He's just text to say he's getting on a plane. It's only a short flight so he'll actually get here earlier than he would have done if he'd got the original flight. DS will be so pleased as i've prepared him that daddy might not be here first thing but he'll be here later in the day. Saying that, i'm never happy, it's blowing a gale here so I hope the plane takes off and is safe! I'm glued to teletext flight arrivals lol! Thanks for everyone's positive thoughts.

    Didn't we tell you so!!! What a fabulous surprise for DS in the morning though!!

    It has been hailing and blowing a hurricane here.. hubby is out.. HAHAHA.. in the RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The Dyson Duo have cursed me!

    Living room smells funkey why? Think the hoover is now broken... it works... but has a burning smell coming from it and a very strange noise...

    My own fault, lazyarsitis makes me hoover lamenite....

    If it's a Hoover what do you expect?

    Now, if it was a Dyson, the Dyson Duo could probably help out :rotfl:

    We may have one or two going cheep (oops - I think the missing budgie has been found) or even cheap....

    Evening all glad there is so much girl power about tonight. Need to find my list - sure I have not done most of it but so glad I have started the sorting.

    It is gusty here too.

    Off to bed quite soon with the trashy papers OH brings me free from the trains everynight - it must be true love.

    See you all tomorrow ladies

    Evening all

    Better late than never, actually spent an hour on the laptop upstairs and it lost my post 3 times so I got totally ratted with it and came down to see if OH finished on here. Turned computer on and it locked up 3 times before loading up so fingers crossed for this post

    Bust day today at work 8 - 4 then back quick cook tea then hairdresser til 715 then todays list to start and clear kitchen as noone lifted a finger while I was out.

    Tuesday - Lovely Living Rooms and Safe Stairs

    [STRIKE]Clear anything from the stairs! Safe stairs are a must[/STRIKE] - done and wiped down
    Level Two

    [STRIKE]Wipe the bits next to the steps on the stairs, yours might be skirting board, edging of some sort, grab a cloth and give it a wipe[/STRIKE] - done
    Extra Mission Tasks - as usual if you fancy tackling something else you could try one or more of these
    • [STRIKE]Clean windows in these areas, check curtains/nets/blinds while you are there, do they need a clean? [/STRIKE] - too dark but I have cleaned the little glass panels in both living room doors, both soies
    • [STRIKE]Check where important documents like passports, birth certificates, driving licences, medical cards are and make a note of where they are and if any need replacing, changing etc[/STRIKE] - all in document folder and in date on bookcase except medical cards but never used them in 40 years

    It is REALLY bad :eek: I'll try and do pictures when I come in from work tomorrow, and in my defence its difficult as we dont have wardrobes as we're in the attic and cant get any to fit under the eaves or go up the stairs !
