Level Two
Vacuum the floor
Dusting.. all those shelves and flat fluffy surfaces!! Don’t forget the light shade and curtain pole!!!

Level Three
Clean 2 windows (did on Weds)
Grab a toy box and throw/rehome anything that is no longer wanted.. it'll be chrimbo before we know it and we need the space!!
Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors
Extra Task List

1. Sort the school clothes for next week.. is everything labelled? (N/A)
2. Wipe the radiators, skirtings and window & door frames!
3. HHI

Morning all,

denisefowler - thanks for the tip about the lidl window cleaner. I must get cracking on these. You will not be able to see out of them shortly.:o

lil_me - ooh that book sounds interesting Sea Harrier Over the Falklands.

Soappie - Hope you have another great day. I know what you mean about old aircraft. No electronic toys and a thwack at a control if it stuck combined with such bravery. Saw Concorde at an airshow (years ago now) and the tears were streaming down my face. It was magnificent.

Gunsandbanjos – thanks for the cat link – love it! :dance:http://icanhascheezburger.com/

Spare rooms not so bad, so need to give the lounge/hall another once-over. This is one of the toughest rooms to keep straight. Hotspots of clutter everywhere. Still not rung docs yet, must do this today too.

Morning all

Hope you managed to get some sleep Nicki, I think I would have found it difficult too! Sorry some moron thought it was a "fun" thing to do.

I have lots of niggly stuff I need to sort today so Julie will happily join in lots of HHC. Didnt get much sleep last night due to having a coffee at 5pm (I really should know better).

On a positive note I have lost 3lbs this week!! yeah!! will update sig later otherwise I forget where I am up to.

So to do:

Kids room - should do in HHC as degrotted/cluttered last week
S & S Kitchen, Bathroom & Lounge
Hoover through
Mop floors
Breakdown cover (look for £ and sort - Quidco me thinks)
Enhance police check - Fill in & post
File paperwork
Gardening (if rain holds off)
Draw up list of any bits needed for kiddies and school
Do nails/wash hair

Best get littles ready for holiday club - they have swimming today. Did try to talk them out of it as a trip to the shoe shop would save me hassle tomorrow but no go.

smoke alarm?? .. la-la-la

PIGPEN!!!!!!
My middle name is 'nag nag nag' (according to my 'almost' DF) and I am not going to let you off with this one!!!

It is just as important as the smears - you must get it done - you and your family are very important and you would never live with yourself if anything happened to them because you hadnt changed the battery!!!

DO IT PLEASE !!!
