I wish who ever invented housework would come back and do mine! We have a house viewing on Saturday (Nine in the morning.........how rude?) so we're at it like the clappers getting the place tidy.
We rushed home as soon as we could as this amazing weather is set to end tomorrow. The borders have been weeded, the lawns mown and the paths have been swept. Any stray branches have been trimmed.
We're also making the best of this good weather to chop logs each evening. We buy wood in one season to use in the next and rotate the stack so it dries evening. We also buy larger logs as they are cheaper and split them down ourselves. Both of us will go out there and swing an axe.
As we live on the side of a hill and a massive storm is forecast, we've cleaned out the drains and gutters have been cleaned out so they don't block with leaves. It might seem a mad rush before the rain but it could last for days.
Those of us without tumble driers keep a keen eye on the weather and plan our 'big washes' around the sunshine. That also means I have a pile of ironing to tackle! It's a wonder I have time to go to work at all!
The house has had a good tidy, the garden is spick and span and the place is looking hospitable. Bring on the rain, the wind and house viewings.
I'm going to give you some prior warning of the use of the C word tomorrow. I will be blogging about saving money over Christmas, how to create and stick to a budget, how to plan family catering on a budget.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs
