Tomorrows list is already up.. sorry.. any other day you can squeeze the bedroom in?
The new cooker cooks things.. it looks fabulous.. and it'll do.. I think I may love it once my kitchen twinkles
The cleaner I am hoping to get started after I have paid off a few debts once my insurance cheque comes.. those payments will save me £410 a month so the £14 for the cleaner each week will be a doddle... so it will be a couple of weeks yet.. and I need to tidy up before she comes..LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
Hi,
Hope everyone is well & welcome newbies/returners. Since my last post I've done more errands & laundry. My aim for the rest of the evening is probably to do some more errands0 -
Evening all...
Well, I got to work - 9.30am instead of 9am, but I left at 7.30am so twice as long as usual, but for once didn't have the hump driving down as it was soooo beautiful... Everywhere I looked was lovely so it was really nice, and tonight I got home in less than an hour because there was absolutly NOTHING on the road - this was the M25 at 5.20pm... Unheard of!!!
So am about to have Dinner and then have more paperwork to do but should be some time for flying - Kitchen and lounge pretty tidy, so I have shortened my list to stuff that will get done...
Monday - Living room, hall and stairs!
Level One
Clear and wipe surfaces
Polish all the glass things
Level Two
declutter and vacuum/mop the floors!
Level Three
De-web and de-fluff the room
Extras
wipe and water any plants
Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining room
Level One
Clear and wipe work surfaces
Empty and wash out bins
Level Two
Sweep and mop floors
Clear and wipe table.. add a clean cloth if necessary!
Extras
S&S the oven and hob
S&S the window sills
My Extras
1. Write a letter to insurance company to explain details fully
2. Take all Virgin Vie stuff out of study cupboard and put on EBay
3. Take all DVD’s/Videos out of study cupboard and put with others once sorted
4. Enter at least 5 DVD’s/videos a day onto eBay ready for cheap listing day (whenever that is…)
5. Make a list of everything that we want/need/desire for the near future and aim for one of them - I think we have fallen into a bit of a hole lately of just being skint and budgetting so need a light at the end of the tunnel to get us through... think it has to be something shiny too for the first one, rather than something we need...
Business/Club Stuff
1. Enter all invoices from previous months for SH onto new QB system
2. Update Developer list and highlight those we already work with
No chance to catch up on thread or I'll get nothing at all done... May read up a bit later...

I've de-webbed & defluffed, and wiped the skirting/doorframes/window sill in the living room.
I'm now about to get the ironing board out for a HHI which should make the pile a bit more manageable. Once the board is up I'll be able to do bits and pieces throughout the day!0 -

Keep hoping for another 'snow' day tomorrow but I don't think I'll be that lucky. It's been raining and a lot of the snow has gone. Will be bad tomorrow on the ice that's been forecast but I doubt if that will close the schoolWe don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.0
