OK, so I didn't go swimming.
It was a bit of a disaster really - I had barricaded my mobile phone in the kitchen with the cat at night and couldn't face demolishing the fortifications in order to get back in and rescue it, so I decided to make do with an alarm clock. Pah! Won't make that mistake again! It decided not to ring until 7.30 this morning - far too late to go swimming, unless I hadn't had to do Dad's breakfast before I went. Oh woe is me, forced to have a lie in by a recalcitrant alarm clock ;)
But, on the other hand... look, look, look.
Not only is the kitchen sorted out - dishwasher and tumble drier busy on the last loads of the morning - and not only is the week's shopping from Tesco ordered, but... look look look... the easy half of the lounge is all complete and heading in the direction of pristine. I can't totally pristinify it otherwise Smudgelet would have nothing to do towards his "Home Help" badge. All hail the Cub Scout movement for inventing the home help badge. This week Smudgelet has to: keep his room tidy and make his bed; cook a meal and lay the table; do the washing up; do the laundry; sew a button on; sort out a cupboard and.... tidy the lounge!!! :D Happy mummy dance!
Meanwhile Tiddles is learning another valuable lesson in life. Two, in fact. That at £5 an hour, it takes a long long time to pay back a debt of £1000 ! And that if you don't do the job properly, you don't get paid and get to do it all over again. So this wall of skirting boards and door frames is going to need sanding again, if you please young man. :D Malicious, me? You bet!!!
Right, gird your loins, woman - there's the hard half of the lounge still to do.
PS... Rosamundi and Tractor Girl, if you're reading this - I haven't really tidied the lounge at all. When you arrive and see it, this is its grubby state and it's usually much cleaner and tidier... honest! ;)
