I restored the kitchen to it's former shinyness this morning as I was feeling rough last night and didn't manage it. Now that I have it well organised it's soooooo much quicker to clean!
Think I will start on the list after lunch when DS2 is (hopefully) napping. Though any bits I get a chance to do now, I will.

Level One
Declutter the living room , hallway and stairs
Clear and tidy the mantle
Unload TD, fold and put away laundry
Level Two

Sort through coats and shoes and bag
Sort through the drawer or cupboard that you stuff junk in!
Level Three

Clear and wipe dining table
Make flapjacks with DS1 (IF DS2 is napping)

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo :grouphug:
Anyway is it me or has it got very quiet here now? Personally the chat doesn't bother me as if I miss it then I just ignore it most of the time.
mOZzy...that's a good idea, if we're allowed! I think the chat makes the tidying and time go by faster!
Done the dishwasher, got coal in for the fire but being harassed by a baby who wants biscuits and I refuse to give her more!Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

I cant really do just 'relevant' posts - I am incapable of keeping quiet! I think I will have to train myself to just post lists for a while!
I certainly couldnt cope with a parallel chat thread - I hardly manage to keep up with other threads and emails as it is.

could do better - must try harder

Morning All
My list for today as I'm sat at work again is:
Clean kitchen surfaces
Iron half a dozen things
Start DW
Declutter living room
Open windows and air bed before making
Make sandwiches to take to work
Decide what to have for dinner BEFORE I get home
Well I've managed to get all done apart from making lunch for work - wayhey an absolute miracle for me!
Going home at lunch - live 2 minutes drive away from work to make sandwich and put mince in slow cooker to have with giant Yorkshires and veg.
You all seem very organised today as well - WELL DONE all of you!To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existance - Sydney Smith0 -
