Well here I am again! Didn't manage to post much last week but did make a start on the house.

So back to work tomorrow & out at meetings every night but hopefully will finish work at the proper time - 1pm.

Determined that before my 50th birthday in March my house will be tidy enough for people to [strike]deliver my prezzies[/strike] pop in to see me without me being embarrassed!!!


Monday Mayhem..

Level One
Clean the sinks, baths, toilets, showers etc
Declutter the manky bathroom floor

Level Two
Wash the window and clear the sill
Fling out all the empties from the bathroom
Wipe the mouldy bits away (needs resealing around sink/bath etc but will attack with bleach)

Level Three
Scrub down the tiles.. defrag the pc while you do this!.. or virusscan or spyware scan (needs regrouting but will scrub them)
Vacuum the floor
Wash the shower screen

Extras

1. Empty and clean out the bin
2. Polish the mirrors
3. Delete 50 unwanted emails from your inbox!

My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is to start my healthy eating routine.

Sunnygirl - hugs and prayers for SiL and the children - what a shock for them

Tibbie's mum and jinky - welcome (to the madhouse!!)

gertie - yep, you've got it! Either delete or cross out as you do things (or, if you're like a lot of us, carry it forward to the mad weekend catch-up :rolleyes: )
SS - well done you :T what a difference! You want to come and do my spare room

I've paid the water bill and credit card (only one more payment to go ) and have decided the shower curtain doesn't need washing (to be fair, it is new!!)

Off to update list now .................

New Year New me!! Have so many reasons to be making good use of this forum not least my good girly's ravings about what a great bunch you all are.

Sarahshattered - how fantastic - you didn't throw the kids out in your mad tidy did you? You must be living up to your name by now!

Hawthorn - re: CBT - don't worry about it, best thing I ever did to help with my phobias - wish I'd had the chance years ago - don't know why it works so well but can't sing its praises enough - good luck and don't be nervous

Need to have a serious rethink about my eating in the next week - I've been doing really well in losing weight but have just wanted to scoff til I burst this last week - need to stop taking money to work and do some proper menu planning to stop the trough nomnomnom (pity I can't eat greenbee's cakes virtually - but on other hand probably a good idea that I can't)

NTS - list for tomorrow on p3

Think I might give this a go, not sure how well it will go as I work full time and run an Army Cadet Detachment on Monday and Thursday evenings. However I was pleased to see when I looked at the list that I'm already one step ahead of things. After two days in a row off and some OS inspiration, I've deep cleaned both the Kitchen and Bathroom, get me I love how they both look am so proud of them so hopefully this will be my inspiration.

Love the idea of writing down the list to stop you spending too much time here, the internet is deffinatley my weakness hehe!
