    Morning. OH home yesterday and reminded me we have people coming for dinner and staying over tonight :eek: so will have to do a blitz of the house! Concentrated on the bedroom yesterday (pretty much only room guests won't be in! :rolleyes: ) so today will be lounge, bathroom, kitchen, hall and spare room - oops! OH will help and do the meal. But no time for money making and won't be a NSD :( Ah well tomorrow maybe?? :confused:

    New day and my first day off - and I start it with a headache :(
    So a slow start but need to get cracking as OH gets back today. So a little change of plan for stuff to do - inspired by hypno am going to focus on getting everything sorted out a little then start on money making tomorrow. So things to do today:
    • Do washing
    • Sort bedroom clutter
    • Sort kitchen clutter
    • Hoover through
    • Go shopping
    • Check house insurance comparison (due Friday)
    • Print flyers
    (Threw in some money saving stuff there to stay on topic!)


    you have to stay on topic or the crunchie police will be out to get you ....hows the head today?

    You def don not need a boost in the chore wars - I don't think I can claim for reheating a casserole for dinner - although there is the washing up.

    Could your guests stay over in the dining room? That will save you a bedroom!

    Good luck.

    Spare room is probably the quickest to get ready - thankfully - as am still on the kitchen and they're coming in less than 4 hours! :eek: Decided I needed to sort the insurance as runs out this week so went along to Martin's "It'll take you 20 mins" guide. More than TWO HOURS later I finally got it sorted!!! Granted I did manage to pare £125 off the renewal quote so am well pleased but it ain't got the house cleaned!

    I did shampoo the carpet by the dining table where the dog had an accident though! And have done half the kitchen (including the dishwasher). so just haf a kitchen, lounge, hall, bathroom and spare room to go!

    Better get back to it!

    Easy fortnight - mmmmnnnn! I wish!

    But have finished the kitchen (took less time than Martin's 20 minute insurance comparisons! :rolleyes::D) and moving on to the lounge via 5 mins of sitting down...!

    We will be ready!

    ps El :eek::eek: :rotfl:
