@MissFritton65 12 hrs cleaning sounds like heaven - can't book a good cleaner for love nor money round here so going to have find some hours to do it myself (asking the kids to do anything but their own rooms is more painful and work than it's worth). Not sure when these spare hours are coming from.
This morning has been chaos - if I didn't have an awful lot of work to do I'd be eyeing up the wine!
Joiners turned up at 8, builder at 8.15 just as I was trying to get a reluctant 5yo dressed. DH was very "busy" and disappeared to work as soon as the joiners appeared.
Joiners needed a walk round outside and discussion regarding the details for the cladding (it's slightly complicated)
Builder needed to discuss the invoice he sent me last night - they've invoiced for work not yet completed and some of it needed querying, as well as me telling him it would be paid once completed not before. He also needed to discuss the outstanding work.
5yo kept coming to the back door, generally naked and asking questions about his Lego advent calendar.
I had to literally wrestle a small child into clothes, shoes, coat etc whilst shouting instructions to tradespeople out the back door then run (I'm not fit enough to run) to school! Builder has now gone with a promise to return & sort lots of bitty items next week.
I assume the 13yo has gone to school because he disappeared in the chaos
I'm knackered and now have to start work.
Oh that's the joiner at the door again....
