Jobs Done


It’s taken all day but I’ve finally cleaned up and dried the kitchen and shampooed the living room carpets
Free of wet paw prints and slime. 
I’m knackered. 
But the cottage now smells of lemon and disinfectant and the humidifier given to me by the velvet voiced Linda has done its job rather well so that the windows are no longer misted.
There is something rather satisfying in a tidy house
Pizza for supper ( the Welsh love the crusts)

  1. Well done, especially as you're still recovering. Time for a large G&T, snuggle up with the furries and relax. I think you've deserved it. Did you discover what happened? xx

    2. Oooops! Mind you, I guess we've all done something similar. Blame it on a brain full of other stuff (that's what I do!) xx

    You have done well, the kitchen looks very spicy and span. But don't kick yourself too hard. Everyine does something like this from time to time. It's called being human. Succumbing to the law of averages.And saving yourself from something else that could be worse!

    I can remember driving along on a country back road and I yanked the handbrake on. No idea why. Luckily there was no one around.

    Well done, you, and I can imagine how tired you are. All looks wonderful and hope you're having a well deserved rest now.
    I've done several loads of laundry and made a quiche. I, too, am tired. Sure wish this frozen snow would melt!

    Hugs!

  13. Your home is beautiful, I so love your kitchen. But what a job! And---do you pay for water usage, big bill coming? And what is under your main floors, a cellar or crawls
    space? Did you check that it is dry there?
    Now rest and relax and enjoy the scent of lemons and a very clean home.

    love

  14. It sounds like it could have been worse. A friend of mine had a ruptured rubber pipe to the washing machine at the same time as his business was in difficulty. Sent him completely over the edge.

    I’m glad to hear that you had a one-day cleanup instead of a 2-month home reno ordeal. Chin up!
