Hiya
Just popped back on to say hello especially to the new people to the thead. It can all seem a bit mad and hard work to start with but it does get easier. Next week when the same rooms come around it takes less time to get the room looking better. I've been doing it for a year or so now and despite having two months off my house is nice again after only two weeks of doing full lists. It is worth it...even though you go slightly mad in the process.
Oh, and shame of you all missing my secret message in my last post:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: . Bet your checking this post now aren't you!!!! Hellooooo!!0 -

you are doing very well!
DW dishwasher
WM washing machine
floordrobe - is clearing the bedroom floor that has become the wardrobe when you have been too lazy to put things away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HTH
Thanks toots;). I had managed to work out the DW and WM...and I thought there were no advantages with not having a dishwasher...One less job for me!
Not looking forward to the floordrobe though...Our bedroom is choca block with clothes that need sorting out....Mind you, with taking a bag a day to the charity shop I'll stock pile some in the garage:D0 -

Frodders - that reminds me of a letter I received after this last operation stating that as I was hard to intubate (sp?) it would be advisable that I was wide awake for my next hysterectomy!!!! When I queried it they told me not to worry as I could have the next one using a spinal block....erm...no....that's not the answer I was expecting! :rotfl: xx

I can wait for tomorrow - I went on a cleaning rampage earlier and did a HHC upstairs..... I came on here at 5.30 to see if anyone was around but seemed to be at the wrong time! I had tackled downstairs at the weekend so upstairs was particularly neglected. Feel so much better now and ready to start on some of the other bits and pieces on the list that i so desperately need to do!!
I also hung up washing i put on earlier before i went to work and took down try washing id hung up this morning. Folded towels I put in dryer this morning, put away ironing in son's room. Made dinner, packed lunches, did sons homework with him and practiced recorder with him. portioned food to put in freezer which was in fridge. Hoovered bedrooms and landing. Tidied bathroom, made beds and tidied son's bedroom so it could actually be hoovered!!
Hopefully if im ahead with my tasks this week, i will have time to pack for this weekend without falling behind!!
Anyway off to bed - hope you ladies are all ok xxxx
