    Hi everyone,

    Well, thanks to my first ever HHC, here's what I managed today: ;)

    Wonderful Wednesdays - Master Bedroom & Landing

    Level 1
    [STRIKE]Check fire alarms are working
    Remove and wash bed linen.[/STRIKE]
    Level 2
    [STRIKE]Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs..
    Vacuum mattress before replacing with fresh linen, air the bed if possible
    15 minutes floordrobe clearance [/STRIKE]
    Level 3
    [STRIKE]Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing
    Sort one area of clothes or linen storage making sure only what should be in there is, anything that's had it's day or doesn't belong there is removed
    Clear a hotspot., or spend 15 minutes clearing one.[/STRIKE] :cool:
    Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more
    • 27 fling boogie time, time for that midweek fling, go on grab a bag and clear that clutter
    • Clean windows in these rooms
    • Check the airing cupboard, anything that is way past it's use by (maybe recycle for rags if possible, you could donate old sheets oor towels to a local animal rescue for bedding)
    • Clean tops of wardrobes and drawers (if safe to do so, no pregnant flyladies on ladders please delegate the job instead)
    • Check through undies drawers, anything more holy than the church which needs to go/be repaired? Anyone need anything replacing?
    I haven't done any extras, but started on yesterday's list as I didn't do anything then!

    I also juggled various loads in the WM/TD, washed up breakfast and lunch, made lunch and dinner, swished/swiped bathroom and kitchen.

    Off to eat and veg. out now, will do more catching up from Tuesday's stuff tomorrow as should be in from work a bit earlier.

    Have a good night and day tomorrow

    Thank goodness I've been able to keep up with the thread a little bit while I've been at work today - you lot are nonstop :D

    Had to stay an hour late at work today so didnt get in until 1/4 to 6 when OH walked out the door to go and do a night shift on overtime so just me and DD for tea as DS at his dads. Couldnt be bothered to cook properly as feeling really cold and haven't even taken my jacket off despite having a cuppa and eating me chicken curry :o .

    Challenge is now to stop DD screaming at me as she's too bl00dy lazy to come and ask me what she wants, then start on the council tip upstairs. The following link is only for pigpens eyes and only on the condition thats she posts pics of her skip :eek:

    so challenge for tonight is some of the above which may well incorporate some of lil_me's list !!


    Right thats it, I am shocked into doing something - those pics look so much worse than when they are on an inch and a half screen, I am truly shamed into doing something about it :o:o:o:o:o

    We've changed mortgage providers twice in the past ten years or so... and OH would be going through his files right this very minute, if they weren't at the bottom of all the stuff temporarily hidden behind the sofa while I redecorate the bedroom:D. Another incentive to get the new wardrobe finished!!

    (This is about the programme, for anyone not watching - think it's on the weekly email as well).

    I've now forgotten all the things I was going to say about previous posts...

    After school, I went into town with DD, and found some curtain material I liked. It's pale soft green background, with large outline flower shapes in chocolate, and dark pink. So, tomorrow I shall be sewing curtains!

    I finished the painting, and the carpets are being shampooed tomorrow,and then I have to do the radiators, which will probably be left till next week.

    Dustykitten - I'm saving sorting out the seedbox and working out which seeds I need to order, then trawling through all the catalogues, as a special treat - maybe when I've finished the bedroom!

    Also tomorrow, I have to locate all sorts of paperwork, as I'm booked for a recruitment appointment on Saturday morning - not sure if I'm going to sign up yet, but about the only piece of paper they haven't asked for is my cycling proficiency. Too busy so far to start feeling nervous, but will no doubt be petrified by Friday...

    I'm worse! I don't say half the stuff I think because I'm trying to be family friendly!

    And the only reason I don't have as many children as Pigpen is because pregnancy kills me (almost literally). :rotfl:

    Heehee.. I'm saying nothing.. I only 'do the deed' once every 2 years!! Good job I don't do it more often! I gave it up 4 years ago as a new years resolution

    :D
