    Good morning ladies,

    How can I wake up tired?

    This week I am going to really try hard. The house is more than respectable following the 21st celebrations. Really it should be a case of maintenance.

    I have a pile of ironing to tackle. I will give downstairs a flutter when I'm back from the morning school run. I will try to wrap a few presents when I get back from work at 2pm. Ironing will be started after dinner tonight.

    I hope everyone has a successful week.

    Morning all. Thanks Dusty for the list. I'm in again and think I may actually get through my list for today even if the paid stuff is busy as I have a bit of a head start on the LR from yesterday.

    I got a second wind last night, so the tree and most decorations have gone up, and I've wrapped all the presents which have arrived so far. I just have some tinsel wreaths to make - gosh that sounds tacky, but they will be pretty.

    Anyway my list for today:

    Walk dogs
    Hoover/clean floors in LR and HSL
    Wipe paintwork in HSL
    Wash windows
    Water plants

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all

    Thankyou for the lists xxx

    I'm in for the 1st part of the week, then off to else where in the world, having only had 4 days off this whole year, I am now ready for a break.

    So far yesterday and today
    Daily type stuff done
    Floors done
    Cards all written and stamped ready to post.
    All presents delivered, just got to sort something for the person feeding the cat.
    Cat food sorted.
    Passport back with a visa in it, I missed counted the days by 1 sothat has cost me an extra £35, thank goodness I doubled checked last week, if I had got to the airport with no visa, = No flight and I would have been well p&&&&ed off.

    Off to work

    Take care hugs all round xxx

    Morning

    I'm in again this week. Flew mostly off list last week but it was a success. This week though I'm back to work as normal so need to remember to keep motivated and maintain my efforts of last week.

    We bought our tree at the weekend and DH broke the stand :eek: So have to get a new one today and get it up ready to decorate so todays list will be useful!

    This morning I have already done more than I nornally would so I'm off to a good start!

    Monday - living room, hallway, stairs
    Level One
    Clear the floor of clutter
    Remove anything now which can give more space for putting the tree up (or tidy your tree if it is up)
    Level Two
    Vacuum the stairs and hallway and living room
    Wipe and water plants
    Level Three
    Wash the windows
    Wipe the paintwork in the hallway and up the stairs
    Extras
    Write some cards, buy any remaining 'special family ones' before the shops sell out

    See you all later!

    Try again!

    Morning everyone :wave:

    Thanks for the list again Dusty

    DS and DD both off school poorly - DS has a cold with hacking cough and DD has had sickness and diarrhea all weekend. Think I'll be flying in other rooms this morning to steer clear of them both for a while, although getting a fire going and watching a film cuddled up on the sofa may be in order this afternoon, especially with the Brucie Bonus of not having to do school runs and football training runs tonight.:j
