Previous thread is almost full. I'm back on it, have cleared the corner of doom in my bedroom today. Next stop is sorting the eBay/chazza bag in the conservatory...

I have dusted, cleaned and hoovered the entire house today 🥵

My DMum is coming for her pre-Christmas visit (for various different reasons, she is unable to visit over Christmas itself, although we will go to see her).

So, I like to hit the house hard in early November, so that I can then top up different areas before the decorations come out

It's taken 5 hours. I'm knackered!

Well done @WeMeetInFairIthilien

Now is the time to get things done before things loom large and get on top of you.

I tried to get the new lawnmower going for a first and final cut of the year but failed. It has a design flaw. Instead I raked a lot of leaves up, not really a job outside of my comfort zone it has to be said, but I will have to do it all again in three weeks time after another leaf drop.

Smell like a kipper now so laundry next!
