    Night Pigpen... Good luck with the laundry!

    I've just got an email from HR to say my last batch of expenses have been paid... just in time to pay this week's hotel bills :D

  • Good Morning,

    Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I'm in this week and will try and get a bit more done. Just posting my list then off too bed!

    Right my list for the weekend now looks like this


    1. [STRIKE]Empty out the bathroom cabinet.. clean it.. fling what you don't need and stash the rest in a beautiful manner.. colour ordered so you have a cupboard rainbow.. [/STRIKE]
    2. [STRIKE] Hoover cobwebs behind the toilet I spotted earlier - yuck! And mop the floor.[/STRIKE]
    3. Attack the mountain of hotspot piles in our bedroom
    4. [STRIKE] Fill out nursery forms for DS1 [/STRIKE]
    5. [STRIKE]Buy a wall chart or calendar [/STRIKE]
    6. [STRIKE]Remember to drink lots of water [/STRIKE]
    7. [STRIKE]Laundry - Sort, wash, dry, fold or iron, and put away [/STRIKE]
    8. [STRIKE]Hoover whole house [/STRIKE]
    9. Sort through DS2's clothes and charity items that he has grown out of
    10. Take charity items to charity shop
    11. Put ebay items on ebay
    12. Find letter confirming DS2's BCG appointment - which is some time in November and diarise
    13. Plan menu for the week
    14. Do a dry run to nursery and back to see how long it actually takes me there and back
    Also got DH to put the curtain pole up in the spare room. I then altered and put up some curtains.


    Monday Mayhem - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Level 1
    Vacuum through the living room, hall and stairs
    Level 2
    Dusting, even if around everything
    Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
    Clean windows and all glass.. including the tv screen
    Clear the mantel and only put back the items which are supposed to be there.. and that doesn't include letters, keys or other treasure!
    Level Three
    Wipe and water plants
    Put all your hotspots in one pile and work your way through it..
    Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
    Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks –
    1. Have a bit of a tidy in the cupboard under the stairs.
    2. Wipe down any paintwork that needs it.
    3. Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!!
    4. Wash any cushions, throws or curtains that need it.. Do you need your winter curtains up yet?
    Plus all the bits missed from my weekend list and
    1. Ring chest clinic, to confirm BCG appt. for DS2
    2. Find blutac to put up wall planner
    3. Fill in wall planner
    4. Fill in the second part of nursery forms with DS1, as requires him to draw a picture
    5. Tidy spare room
    6. Trip to the rubbish tip
    7. Find out how much it costs to repair a Dyson vacuum cleaner, if it's worthwhile keep it as a spare
    8. Remind mum to alter my dress for bros wedding, so I can shop for accessories.
    See you in the morning, night-night.
    Housework only gets noticed when it's not done.
    My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
    Can never keep up with the thread - otherwise I'll never get anything done! But hugs to All :grouphug:

    Well I am in this week but won't be around today as I have to drive to Leicester for my uncle's funeral. My gran is having the kids while we are there and then joining us at the wake. Wish me luck for a 2 1/2 hour journey with toddler and baby.

    Am just going to pack the last of the bags.

    Happy flying

  • Morning all,
