Evening everyone

Thank you Natty and Valli for the lists - much appreciated

Sending virtual hugs, a sprinkle of gws dust and some broomsticks. Help yourselves as needed.

Have to get well organised this fortnight as Wimbledon takes priority here. So it's up early (for me) and at it for the next fourteen days. I have lots of batch-baked meals in the freezer and so at least we won't go hungry

Dailies done
Spanish lesson completed
All rubbish out
Recycling sorted and bagged ready for DH
Kitchen WUDUPA

MAD this week will be an attack on the paper work in the top half of the floor to ceiling cupboard in the spare room - about thirty files :eek:

So today, whilst watching the tennis, I did three large files, only keeping necessary stuff - the rest going in a big heap for shredding. Also found all the docs for the car, and wrote the tax, mot and insurance renewals on the calendar for October.

Magnificent Monday ~Crabby kitchen!
Wipe all appliances.. large and small
Sweep and mop the floor
Thoroughly clean the oven and hob
Extras
Scrub out the fridge.. incorporate those 'slightly wilting' things into your meal plan!

Tingling Tuesday ~ Living Room and Hall
Wipe sofas
Vacuum floors... or mop them.. whatever..
Wipe over any paintwork/doors etc
Vacuum under furniture you are able to move without injuring yourself
Wash any soft furnishings
Extras
Wipe and water neglected plants
Dust and deweb
Binbag dance!

Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday
Lx

Sounds like we've all had fairly busy days. This afternoon I found a tidy and virtually clean kitchen:
Took dry washing upstairs
Hung anything still damp outside to finish drying
Put away washing up
Had another attempt to clean the upholstery on a dining chair
Tidied kitchen
Wiped down all surfaces
Scrubbed and cleaned the hob
Wiped down the windowsill, removing several dead flies
Cleaned and tidied fridge
Hoovered and mopped floor

Then took DD to play/sensory centre (have got a fab one near us where all the money, apart from overhead costs, goes to charity) for a play date.

Pulled pork for dinner, though DD was a proper toddler and downright refused to touch it. Then dug in a load of seedlings/mini plants that were big enough to go in the ground.

Obviously don't know what your specific issues are Pigpen , but surely it must be worthwhile at least trying to get help through the gp. I've been having counselling for a while now, and though my sessions through this particular service are ending, they are referring me to another. Hope you get the support you need soon xx

Hello

Didn't fly yesterday but did some self-decluttering, which some of you will have seen in Facebook. I have cracked the 3 stone barrier!
Have MUCH more energy - stayed on my feet all Saturday morning at the Muddy Run. Last year I would have been desperate for a sit down.
Spent yesterday afternoon with reception as we're having transition day. Just a few boys names to lock in.

Need to iron as have washed tonnes, and book MOT and service today.

Done zumba.
Sent pay claim.
Printed off previous scan and listed physio & GP treatment ready to take for today's ultrasound/injection just in case they haven't bothered to check any records.
About to set up speech-to-text on computer in case I can't type for the next couple of days and I have a report to finish!

Aww well done Valli :T excellent! I'm well jel as they say

Been twice to docs for DD prescription but can't get parked anywhere :mad: so I've cleaned 2 bathrooms instead. LR doesn't really need it today, but bathrooms sure did! Mop is upstairs, I'm just charging the sweeper then I'll do the floors. Also want to strip my bed.

Hung some hooks in the hallway, just small ones - not for coats. I've popped a little hanging blackboard planner on one, looks quite nice. Might buy some chalk pens...

Just having lunch and a cuppa then I'll head back upstairs. Might even try the docs once more <rollseyes>

Well done Valli X

Sounds like a lovely idea (chalky pens) Bossy X

Lots of BDs around, wish they would shoo off.

Ground floor stick cleaned

Parents' ground floor stick cleaned. A few cupboards sorted out. Some old photos found. Had to stop looking at them or I wouldn't have finished what I needed to do. Some furniture moved and vaccummed behind/under. A missing article found so Mum will be pleased. My car boot loaded for charity shop drop off.

Duvet cover washed and dried on line. Need to add that to charity shop bag tomorrow.

3x wm done and dried outside.

New bench washed again as local birds keep dropping large dollops on it.

Ds1's shirt ironed for another interview as he was short of time.

Hello

RL is busy and in my way of being here.

Long drive is done
Stuff is done
House clean and fairly sorted

Duckydo · 4 July 2017 at 8:52PM

Very tired Ducky rolling in, 2 late nights (my own fault) plus busy days =:o

Thanks to the lists (liking the order this week) I now have a lovely clean and tidy downstairs. Started the day with finishing off a thank you present for DD's signing teacher, made a scrabble tile word art picture for her, though I did have to restick some of the tiles this morning :doh:

Living roomwise I've:
emptied the bin
got rid of a dead plant
dusted
cleaned the windows of toddler handprints
straighten the photo montage frames on the wall after DH dusted them last week
had a good tidy up of DD's toys
removed the sofa carcass cover and put that on a HOT wash with plenty of van!sh
sorted through my basket of gibble and craft stuff
hoovered floor

Really hoping that LW is alright, it's been a month since she last posted, and all other online forums she's on are quiet as well. Does anyone have any contact details for her, a RL name??

bossymoo · 4 July 2017 at 9:38PM

I don't ducky, but was thinking the same today.

Night all x

Fayolle · 4 July 2017 at 9:46PM

Late posting again today, I'm afraid. Just been manic.

Well done, Valli :T

Also concerned about LW.

I had a spare half hour in between getting home and turning around back out again, so I dusted LR and vaccuumed the LR and DR. Squeezed in dusting the DR before work. DH ran WM when he got in, as I was back out again at a school meeting. Dead flowers thrown out, so LR looks tidy, if bare. Bed stripped and remade, ready to run WM in the morning. I'm now going to have a cuppa and a piece of cake, just because I can!
