  • By the way what was annoying me yesterday was if I copied my previous post where I had already striked my list, pasted in a new post and then carried on striking some more, the bits I had already striked in the previous post became unstriked. But this wasn't noticeable until I had already posted, so I then had to re-edit, and sometimes re-edit again, so very frustrating and time consuming. Any tips guys?



    Don't do any flying then you won't need to cross it off :lol: Sorry no really got any useful :rolleyes: advise. I tend to stick it of but now delete the lines. At least it looks like I have less to do then.

    Sarahshattered-no worries. My idea of paradise would probably Pampering AND cake.

    i totally agree before i seemed to be overwhelmed with rubbish in every room but the baby steps and tackling hot spots is good

    Morning all. Sounds like everyone is going to be happy that it's Friday! I am, except for the bit where I realise that I'm nowhere near completing my lists and tomorrow I have people to stay and people for dinner .... beds not made, groceries not done and working today too.

    Right, so let's take a look at what we have and then pare it down to what I think is achievable:

    My list:

    HHFiling

    Monday Mucking out - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Level 1
    Vacuum through the living room, hall and stairs
    Level 2
    Dusting, even if around everything
    Clean windows and all glass.. including the tv screen
    Level 3
    Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
    Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks –
    1. Wipe down any paintwork that needs it.
    Tuesday Terrors - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Wipe all the windows in these areas!!


    Extra Mission : help yourself
    1. Muck out the fridge.. use up all those bits that are on the verge of getting themselves out of the fridge and biting you!
    2. Empty the kitchen bin.. wash it out.. and make it smell SWEET
    Wednesday wishy-washy-wipe!- Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level 1
    Check fire alarms are working..
    Level 2
    Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs..

    Thursday Thrills- Bathroom and Study/Pc Area

    Level Two
    Clear any clutter from desk
    Dust PC and desk and wipe off those cup rings!!
    Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc


    Friday Flyday- those frightening kids rooms and spare rooms



    DD's room is not a priority today ... spare room however, is!



    Extra Task List

    Pigpen unfortunately DS2s now been on from 5mls to 10mls with the Oyxb and no difference at all. Your DDs does sound much more interesting!

    DD was started on the 10mls as she was so bad.. but the medicine was rank, she hated it, it was sticky and spilled everywhere so she has the tablets instead.. they only need one of those a day as they are slow release.

    She slept through the alarm and it woke everyone else up!! after being up 3 times in one night I took it back!

    Nails painted.. best go find a list of jobs to get done!

    I use the quote function cos then you don't lose the bits you've already struck (striked?) through! Then just delete all the bits you don't need that you've quoted including the [quote/ ] things at the beginning and end and it just appears as a normal post :T
