    Morning all

    Hi to all newiees and returnees

    Johanne long may it last, but you stick to your guns, don't let him think one day of being useful is going to solve any thing. I am glad you have at last had you time. Maybe at long last he has relised what a pain in the axx he has been.

    Day 11 of my cold / flu, feel a bit better, still coughing my lungs up.

    Have a good day

    Catch you all later

    Ok silly question here. Does anyone print the lists to carry around with them so they can see what they're supposed to be doing? I tend to get a bit lost once I leave the computer and get very sidetracked :o

    Hollyh – hope you get things sorted at the dentist
    Lady-l – glad you enjoyed weekend. Just what you needed.
    SS – positive vibes
    Tigerlee - welcome

    Greenbee – might be a good idea to have a floor before you install WM. Family get-together sound great.
    Johanne - maybe he got a shock when you started looking for a flat for him
    Oj - good luck for interview

    Juliebet they won’t put up with him being in a mood at work (on the other hand it may be something at work that caused the mood)
    Soappie Glad you are feeling better, but baby steps.
    G&B - good luck with study. (I really need to start thinking about whether I want to do a course next year)
    Gryfon - Hugs -hope it goes quickly.

    Well we had rain overnight and this morning so the snow is going.
    Hugs to the poorlies and positive vibes for a new week.
    Off for a shower. See you later.

    Monday - kitchen

    Wipe down all the major appliances.. clean filters/drawers/seals etc
    Wipe over the cupboards fronts and kickboards
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop the floors
    Deweb and defluff these rooms
    Level three
    Clear and mop/vacuum the floors
    binbag dance! Grab a binbag.. fill it up.. and chuck it out!
    Clean the oven.. and the shelves!
    Extras - help yourself!
    1. wipe and replace ALL the small appliances
    2. Empty and wash out bins
    3. S&S the fridge
    Hope all sickies get better soon.

    Right one list printed! Glad to know I'm not the only one :D Memory isn't quite what it was and it wasn't brilliant before I had children!

    Ok another question! If your worksurfaces are completely cluttered and you know it'll take a good hour or two or maybe more to sort through all of them, do you concentrate on the ones you use the most and then go back to the others later? Or would you just try to get them all done? Although I tend to loose motivation and get bored quickly :o
