Mass clean up of the flat

The night shift went well. Wolfie slept until 7am, which was really funky. The twins settled well and even though it was later than I planned I managed to get a good sleep. I managed to get them a night feed as well as a early morning feed before I got up to get some post.

The Star Wars book that I ordered arrived along with the memory for Devil boys camera. I will order the remaining books in the Han Solo trilogy in the next few weeks. I am looking forward to reading about Han Solos youth. The computer game that I ordered from E-bay also arrived along with the sim for my mobile phone. I had some fun working out how to use it. I like finding my way around mobiles and I do not usually need to use the manual.

The morning went well and as the sun was shining nicely I managed to get the twins and Wolfies bedding washed as well as all of the towels. I usually take advantage of a good drying day and get as much washing done as possible. It works well in case the next day is raining.

I started work on the back room sorting through the things that I have got in there. It is a never-ending job but I will be happy once I am on top of it.

I got a phone call in the afternoon from Homestart. A man will come around on Friday to do a safety check on the flat. He will then give us anything that we might need. I think that is a brilliant idea. He will be hopefully fitting us some smoke alarms. We have some in the flat but I do not know how useful they are but I think it will be good to see how safe our flat is anyway.

This means that the next few days I will have to run about like a loon making sure that the flat looks nice and tidy. It will also mean though that I will get on top of the housework before Devil boy goes away next week which should make the time while he is away easier…hopefully.

I managed to make some progress on the back room before deciding that I would make some room in the shed for some of the things from the back room. I will deal with them when I go through the shed.

I fed the twins and then went out into the back garden to help Devil boy put up the tent. Wolfie loved it and kept running in and out of it. I think I will leave the tent out all summer for Wolfie to use. It has not had much use so it will be good to get used a lot.

We then had some dinner and while Devil boy bathed Wolfie I got his room ready and tidied his toys away. It did not take him long to settle off tonight and before long he was crying again so I got him to get into bed and he settled off without a problem.

I then sorted out some sleep suits for a friend who is expecting a baby in August. I will pass them onto her on Monday. I have also put some suits to sell on E-bay as well.

After feeding the twins I got their bottles ready and cleaned the kitchen. I d0o not need to do too much more to the kitchen tomorrow. All I need to do now tonight is reply to some E-Mails quickly before giving the twins their night feed before going to bed. I am going to try and get to bed earlier tonight.
