Hi peeps
looks like some people have been up early and cracked on - not so me, house looks no better than when I started and I only managed 1/2 of one room before settling down in front of X factor and I'm a celebrity.
Today I have- had breakfast with DD and OH before he went off to bed after yet another night shifts
- soaked in the bath for my sunday morning treat
- read the newspaper
- drank plenty of caffeine
- fed WM and TD tooo many times I've lost count
- folded a huge amount of clothes and bedding
- been food shopping and got a few bits for christmas
- started putting stuff away but then remembered I needed to come to puter to try and book a christmas delivery slot which should come online today. bet i've missed them now off to have a look
Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!0 -
Right - I'm off to football. At least it's stopped raining for the minute so I might get there in the dry! Now, anyone seen my thermals
When I get back, I need to do my HHI (provided I haven't had too many San Miguels) x

We now have a second hoover as Im sick and tired of lugging up down 2 flights of stairs, DS is trying it out for me .0

Aftenoon all
Two loads of washing done, I've hung some outside because it's windy but it's not drying, too cold I think. Will drape it round inside when the heating comes on later.
DH back from fishing so we've put all the stuff back up in the loft.
Cooked roast dinner, all eaten and cleared away.
Not done much else, can't be bothered!0 -
Children returned home, only have my DD1 at home at the moment Oh & DD2 not yet returned, according to the car the outside temp was -5 no wonder i am feeling it cold. Any way heating on, chicken in the oven and i am away to iron to warm me up0

kassey I have brought the caravan one home and finding it very useful, I am less reluctant to vacuum upstairs because I don't need to either carry it up/down or get someone else to.
Right, got carried away, did 3 x HHC in one. Decided after doing some of the kitchen to follow my own advice and get one room done first, so came back into the LR and declared war! Lets see how my list looks now
Kitchen
[strike]Clear window sill
Clean window sill
Clean window [/strike]
Clear drainer
Clean sink and drainer
[STRIKE]Empty DW when finished
Refill DW[/STRIKE]
Clear other benches
[strike]Reorganise cereal storage
Sort through baking cupboard a bit to see what is in [/strike]a lot!
Clean cupboard door fronts done half
[STRIKE]Clear boxes from kitchen [/STRIKE]
Clean floor
Living room (that I am hoping the boys will help with) haha fat chance they just got in the way!
[strike]Clean TV cabinet (as DP has never managed to do it)
Move rest of boxes into conservatory
Clean under TV cabinet
Clear other surfaces that have been cluttered again
Clean all fuzzy surfaces with damp dusters
Clean speaker stands
Take encyclopaedias upstairs
Put shoe box, somewhere
Clean sofas
Vacuum and mop floor
Find somewhere more permenant to store vax [/strike]
:j:j:j:j:j:j:j LR is DONE!!!!!
Others
[strike]Put washer load that is in on airers/in drier
Make sandwiches for packed lunches for a few days (rolls need freezing)[/strike]
I have followed the system I decided on which mean't boxing all the **** of other peoples I have been asking them to shift for weeks so when I get 'where is *** and ***' I will say in one of those many boxes :mad: until I get chance to sort through them all.
Right, that looks much better, now I need to add dining room aswell............it's a tiny room and the most cluttered now I think, oh utility aswell
Dining Room
[strike]Move chairs that don't belong in there.
Move the boxes into the conservatory of anything that needs sorting
Tidy table inc DPs keyboard books
Clear the OU stuff, last box of books to be flung but was waiting for recycling box to be empty
Dust Woody's tank [/strike]
vacuum and mop floor
Utility
[strike]Move trainsets to boys rooms
Move DPs junk into garage
Sort through laundry box (my box of laundry cleaning stuff)
Sort cloths storage [/strike]
[strike]Sort carrier bag storage (I think they multiply themselves!)
Move shoes
Clean fridge freezer
Clear stuff off floor
Clear breakfast bar (piled high and haven't been able to eat at it for a month:eek:)
Vacuum floor
Mop Floor
Clean step[/strike]
Hmmmmm I think another few HHCs chucked together is needed to make a start on it all. 3-3.30pm being the first one so I can have a coffee, not had one for 2 days and I really need one! Conservatory looks like a store room but at least if I can get the rooms how I want them the junk can come back in to tidy clean rooms and be put in the right place, well that is the theory anyway!One day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0
