    Nicki to reduce 200 words just cut a paragraph out!!:rotfl:

    Wish I could, but its individual questions. Just 20 too many now and I think I'm going to have to give in and risk being marked down. I can't cut anything else out otherwise it won't read right!

    Now its time for the essay. Much easier would you believe :rotfl::rotfl: Won't get it done by 3pm though, I know that already! :o:o

    Afternoon all and welcome to all the newbies :hello:

    Is it my imagination or has it suddenly become winter?? Its a lovely sunny day, well between the showers, but sooooooooo freezing.

    So far today:
    Dogs fed and watered
    WM x2
    Washing hung on line x2
    Lunch cooked for sister and nephews
    DW unloaded
    DW reloaded with lunch dishes


    Monday Marvels- Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    [strike]Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces[/strike]
    Level Two
    [strike]Sweep and mop floors[/strike]
    Clean the fridge.. remember to do the drain at the back

    [strike]Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary) [/strike] Did this last night as family had been over for sunday lunch and darling nephews are known for their inability to keep food on plates.
    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
    Clean out your mankiest kitchen cupboard..
    Extra Mission : help yourself
    [strike]S&S the oven and hob
    [/strike] Darling dad did this last night as the pork seemed to have splattered all over the oven.
    1. [strike]Defrost the freezer ready for all your christmas supplies![/strike] Done a few weeks ago
    2. 37 fling boogie..
    [strike]Empty the bin.. wash it out.. and make it smell SWEET
    [/strike] Wheely bin and both kitchen swing bins have been throughly cleaned and disenfected and then finished off with a burst of seasonal oust.

    Having a welcome cup of coffee and surf whilst helping eldest nephew with his geography assesment.
    Going to be really sickening now and say once again how grateful I am to this thread. Normally when I'm looking after little sister and the nephews, the house is utter choas and I find that I don't have the time to get anything done which But because I have my set list of tasks and the encouragement of the other flyladies its so much easier to fit everything in and to break the tasks down!
    Sanity is the playground of the unimaginative!
