How-much-did-I-do-list

1. wash up if I did it once does it still count? Or do I have to do it EVERY TIME there are dirty dishes????
2. put washing on - I put it in but forgot to set it going - does that count????
3. make toad-in-the-hole batter, peel spuds and find veg for the children's supper- done
4. quickly tidy sitting room (it will take DAYS to make it look decent!!! which was all going well until I had to move the sofa to show Malcolm (see No. 8) the huge hole in the wooden floor which disclosed the layers of toys and grot lurking under the furniture!
5. finish finding homes for the books displaced during the big dining room rearrangement
6. tidy sewing table - can't do that because of all the spewed out contents of the w.a.c.c.b.n.f.o.s.s cupboard
7. empty middle part of the was-a-computer-cupboard-but-now-full-of-sewing-stuff cupboard all over dining table and sewing table
8. try to fix the collapsed shelf in the aforementioned cupboard that gave way under the weight of all my lovely Australian craft magazines - okay, so I lied here - I asked Malcolm, my very clever next door neighbour, to fix it for me so he has taken away the two pieces of splintered wood and is going to bring them back when they are one again!
9. design and cut out a simple doggy softy for my friend's gorgeous little girl - couldn't find the table or fabrics - see 6,7 and 8 above
10. iron a few clothes (I know! It's amazing! Because I never, ever, ever iron clothes - but I've got some nice new ones that would look so much better ironed so I may have to break the habit of a life time!) - had you going for a bit!!!!
11. collect fabric from closing down shop got some nice black velvety fabric
12. post parcel to Jodie and Annie

17. contact the delivery office to get them to send me my parcel again
18. do a sneaky extra layer of papier mache on Dot's model because it looks like it is never going to harden nearly stuck myself to it too!
