Anyone fancy joining me for a cleaning and tidying blitz?

I want to get everything done so I can relax tomorrow.

Meet back here in 30 mins for an update (even if I'm on my own!) Grin

How are you doing? I'm having a duvet pottering sort of day so I'm watching your industry with a kindly but uninvolved eye. Wink

Not bad. Washer and dryer are on and kitchen is almost done with the exception of the floor! I've even done the bits that haven't been done for far too long!

DD was helping but I think she's got bored and disappeared

Good stuff. (I love hearing about other people working away on a day like today! Grin)

Is DD still conspicuous by her absence?

DD has gone with DH god knows where probably skiving! I've got DS and DSS but no idea what they are doing. First bedroom done

If she's sensible, she'll have offered to help him do the car so keep your fingers crossed. DS and DSS are probably playing a game on some device - behind a closed door somewhere. Wink

Ahh they are all helping now. DH and DD are planting! And DS and DSS are throwing toys away

Goodness - you've managed to motivate them all! You should share your secrets. Grin

You are too industrious for me. I should be tackling spare bedroom/ junk room for things to ebay, but can't get through the door.
I wish I was more motivated.
