  • Back again with another :coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:. Help yourselves. Just done a bit of vacuuming upstairs then the Dyson died! :eek: Might just be the fuse, but I came downstairs to get one and stopped to do a HHC in the new study, putting files way etc, so quite pleased with the progress in there. So my list is now:


    Wonderful Wednesday (Temporarily Thursday! :rotfl:) - Master Bedrooms and Landings
    Level Three
    Vacuum mattress
    Clean tops of drawers
    Clean doors including handles downstairs
    Leftovers:
    Manic Monday - Kitchen, Utility and Dining Room/Area

    Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Clean washer drawer, filters on the dryer, dishwasher and cooker hood filters
    Terrific Tuesday - Living Room, Den and Stairs
    Level Two
    Vacuum and wipe (if needed) sofas
    Level Three
    Dust anything above eye level (if safe to do so)
    Clear anything that shouldn't be where it is!
    Wipe the bits next to the steps on the stairs.
    Extra Mission Tasks - as usual try one or more of these
    Check where important documents like passports, birth certificates, driving licences, medical cards are and make a note of where they are and if any need replacing, changing etc
    Clean out the vacuum cleaner, empty the bag/bucket, clean filters if they are washable MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PUT THEM BACK UNTIL THEY ARE DRY!

    What nightmare travelling for you - we havent had the expected snow at all although it is pretty grey and heavy looking so maybe it will come yet :eek:

    I am ok thanks - just getting a bit stressed as I havent got as organised as i would like for christmas - getting stuck on 1 or 2 presies for difficult people!!!
    didnt get much done in my HHC as I tried to chase up a missing item from a delivery -that took 15 mins!!!! PC area is spic and span (did it while being passed from pillar to post!) and have defragd and run virus scan - folded and put away washing from airer and added to ironing mountain!!!

    catch you all later - I am off out to visit elderly friend this afternoon and need to do a couple of bits of shopping for her on way so had better go get ready and have lunch.
    happy flying all!!
