    My list for tomorrow (I have deleted some as only hoovered hall and stairs yesterday, and can't move furniture or haul stuff out from under stairs cupboard cos of arm, and don't have any plants!!) Living room is a tip though :eek:

    Level 1
    Vacuum through the living room
    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 a drawer .. any drawer
    Level 3
    Put all your hotspots in one pile and work your way through it..
    Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks –
    1. Wipe down any paintwork that needs it.
    2. Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!!
    3. HHI

    I've just realised that if my dad is staying I'll have to put the hot water on for longer, put the heating on :eek: and worst of all, take the duvet off the spare bed and put a flat sheet and blanket on it :mad: I'll have to think of a few more jobs for him to do to make up for it!!!

    All those on a curfew for their MACAW -

    IT'S BEDTIME!!!

    I can't imagine why both Toots & Mudbath think this is a madhouse... don't normal people spend all their free time online discussing housework :confused: and pegs :confused: and ironing dusters :confused: and putting mooncups in the DW :confused:

    Valli & TAG - please play nicely with the new flybabies... we don't want them scared off on their first day. Leave it to Toots to lull them into a false sense of security, and restrain yourselves for the first few days of the weeks (after all, Valli, you'll be at work ;) )

    Toots - let me know if you need anymore help on the utility stuff. I'll be nagging you to get it done

    Mudbath - more pics of Poppy please :D OH YES PLEASE MUDDERS!!!!

    Just popped in before I run off to do my evening MACAW - thanks greenbee - feel free to nag - I must get his sorted.

    and greenbee - not sure I should be lumped in with TAG and Valli - I dont have obsessions with ironing and pegs (yet) - but we could be the 3 mischiefeers!!!!

    hope the dentist sorts out that sore tooth lil_me!

    hugs for everyone - thanks pigpen I didnt have any biscuits for my cuoppa so of to munch my doggy bisc in bed with cuppa tea.
    night night all

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
