Morning EHM, Aufish and all

The sun is still shining
Had a great weekend We're all a bit groggy and tired this morning after two very late nights so I'm hoping for an easy day.
The house is in a terrible state so I need to have a really good blitz this week. Mondays are always difficult cos we're out all day so other than getting a load of washing in the wm I doubt I'll do much more.

Have a good day everyone, see you later x

Morning Guys.

Sorry I've been awol but not enough hours in the day.

I love kitchen week as it is one area that I keep on top of. Mission not needed as I maintain the hob well

Hope everyone is ok.

Tort - not sure if this website will be of any use to you. Sorry you're having a hard time.

Off out this morning but will catch up later.

  • declutter bedroom (as usual)
  • iron workclothes
  • mission
  • go through box of shoes, recycle some
  • clean outside back door.

    Have a good day. Hope the sun keeps on shining..

I'm back

No mission here either. It was on yesterdays list, and got done.

I don't have hairspray, but will try baby oil first and if that doesn't work borrow some. I have also discovered nail varnish on their floor

I was supposed to go to the bank but came straight home. DS has a temp and wouldn't take my friends paracetamol (spat out the non-calpol flavour).

Once the room is tidy it is much more obvious that the whole house needs decorating, the walls are dirty, the paintwork is grubby, the carpets are filthy. The list goes on.

I'm hoping I can keep on top of the general stuff for a bit, and start on some of the other things.
