    Am I odd....(don't say yes until you've read the rest of what i'm going to say!)...i've just vaccumed the whole of downstairs but I emptied the dyson first so that I could see how much carp I got up. Hee hee, I got up loads...quite disgusting really!

    Nearly forgot to say...I start my voluntary job at the beginning of March. All official and the police cleared me. I don't know why I always worry about those please checks as i've never done anything dodgy!

    So far i've;
    - s/s kitchen
    - dysoned kitchen, living room, dining room and hall
    - washing load
    - put out to dry
    - 2nd load waiting to finish
    - decluttered two bags of stuff
    - started a charity bag of stuff

    Still to do;
    - bathroom
    - wash our bedding
    - declutter living room
    - declutter dining room
    - dyson stairs and landing
    - s/s ds's bedroom as he's a friend coming to tea
    - s/s conservatory

    Think that's it. I'm off to see a friend for lunch then need to pop to the shops for something for tea. Very fussy child coming for tea so don't think he'll eat anything I give him and I don't really care - not my problem!

    Right, quick shower before I go out and no, I don't want to share your bath Pigpen!

    Mudbath, I do it everytime, more because I have to, every day the downstairs vacuuming fills the Dyson bucket, mainly with dog hair, just so pleased I'm not buying bags!

    Trulymadlydeeply I never found that offer in our local Tesco but if you have a look online will likely have it on there if it's on in your local store. I sometimes do my shop on there, putting all the order in then take a list in store with me so I know how much I need and I stick to my list. Stops me overspending :o

    Well for some daft reason I did the bathroom again, because I was unhappy that the tiles still didn't look as clean as I wanted them and DS2 managed to diddle all over the loo and floor. Sooooo I haven't done the desk yet (wondering if I was just avoiding doing it) I have done the sitting room (creatures of habit and all that)

    Oh my memory foam mattress toppery thing has arrived, I found we had a lot of commission left on the littlewoods catalogue and a code so ordered it from there, cost me all of £8.04 :D so that'll be going on tomorrow when I do our bed.

    Right, next jobs

    Make dinner
    Empty airer and put away (instead of dumping it in the corner of my room :o )
    Washer load that's in on airers
    Another wash load in
    Then I suppose I should start on that desk...
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
