Saturday Evening, Sunday
Saturday evening I got stuck in the bathroom. I have patched one of the walls and part of the ceiling to cover cracks and bad blown plaster. I have just enough filler to do the bit of bad plaster over the bath which will be dealt with tomorrow. It is a necessity really starting to clear this room up, and get it nice and clean again before finishing off the kitchen being as it is tacked onto the kitchen downstairs.
I have done a lot in the kitchen and the bulk of what is in the bathroom is the ironing. I have a big job on my hands but will not be tackling this until I get the new flooring in which will probably be around 8 August 2025. Have bathroom flooring to put down as well. Then I can iron knowing that the floor is clean and my laundry will stay clean. The trouble with 20 year old laminate flooring is that it looses its surface, chunks get taken out of it and it is a Devil to keep clean. It has been a scrubbing brush job each time and that is not ideal either. I have not been happy with it for quite sometime. Having had no pennies though over the relevant period has meant that have had to work with what I have had. Not by choice, but out of necessity. Hopefully that is about to change and a new cleaning regime will be in place for the new laminate flooring that is less onerous on me. Daily mopping and polishing to keep everything down which you can do with new laminate.
This next month as I say is the flooring for the bathroom and the kitchen and then I can tackle the ironing. It will not take me long to clear it working in batches once that has been accomplished as I have a very good steam Turbo Blaupunkt iron.
Copious amounts of washing has been going on as well. I have a big bag ready to go out on the line tomorrow to dry and more laundry bags to fill up.
Sunday
The aim is to get all of the ironing bags sorted into the bath and stacked neatly. The rest will then fall in around this.
Then back into the kitchen.
Had the washer on again and it threw another wobbly. G got it going again thank goodness but think might have to get it checked out.
Been hard work, and still at it. Stopped for a Chinese and then upwards and onwards again. Still sorting things as I go.
Right must get on.
Have a lovely evening everyone, I am seriously tired, but must keep on with what I am up to. I am also filling in the bad plaster as I go along as well, so have my work cut out.
Catch you soon.

Don't overdo things. I don't work in the evenings - those are for resting. I realize I've not cleaned my kitchen cupboards since they were installed 3 years ago! I will wait for a rainy day and it will be a job well done then. Good luck with your decorating. The bathroom will look greatly improved when you've finished.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennie, I will stop where necessary. I tend to wake up in the evenings not so good of a morning and start doing things at odd times of day. I am getting geared up for the cooler months though and intend to have the evenings for my crafting again. This is one of the reasons for me tackling the back bedroom and the front bedroom as a lot of my UFOs are between both rooms. I do push myself because when I have the fatigue I get very frustrated with not being able to do much; so I do not always give in even if I am not comfortable as otherwise nothing would get done and that drives me even more bonkers. Hugs and thank you for thinking of me. xxxx
