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!

No not odd mudbath i quite often do that, i did it before i hoovered my mattress once_pale_The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0

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
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 £8.04so 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)
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...........
