    Cleaned bath mat ( anyone know how to stop grime building up on these non slip rubber bath mats :mad: )
    I have decided to have a rest from cleaning and go into town to do a bit of shopping. I have been really good all wk and finished each list so am rewarding myself by having some time out. Shopping for a few hrs then tonight i'm off to an Ann Summers party with some friends and a few glasses of wine :T :T
    I have got a big pile of ironing again but i can catch up tomoro. I will let you know if i do anything else later but i think not.
    Well done to all those putting in the effort and don't forget to reward yourselves for all this hard work. You know what they say about all hard work and no play. XXX

    I'm so hacked off now. I've just checked my work phone and they have called asking for my time sheet for three weeks ago. I sent it that week! I phoned them back and told them that and what I worked that week, but they really didn't believe me. "oh it's a bit odd that it hasn't arrived" in sarcastic voice. Sorry for going off topic.
    I've finished the shredding - two bags full now/a year and a half's worth - and have half emptied the drawer I want to sort through today.
    Going to sort out the washing now, need to see if any of it is dry.

    Thanks again everyone, I hope I'll be good at it, but that rather remains to be seen!! :D

    Dusty, I'm doing part time, I still have have such priorities at home, that I couldn't do full time right now. I'm also still looking at some voluntary stuff too, which seems like a really good way to assess whether you want to work in an area or not.

    Right..... Lists.....

    Need to :
    S&S kitchen
    Unload and reload DW
    Clean Woks
    WM
    TD
    Thursday's List
    DD2's Birthday pressies sorted and wrapped.
    Dinner.

    Not much then!!!!!!

    Pen Pen I'll join you .... I'll crack on with the kitchen.

    Phew ok... i've had abit of a stressful week i won't bore you with the details but between home and work i wish i never got up on monday morning.

    However!!! things are calming down and i'm determined NOT to let the entire week be a write off, so heres a list of the jobs i plan to try and catch up on tonight.

    Mondays are Marvellous!! - kitchen and dining area
    Level One

    Sweep and mop the floor
    Declutter and wipe the worksurfaces
    Level Two
    Wipe the table
    Wipe the units and large appliances

    Tuesday twinkles! - Living room, hall and stairs!
    Level One
    Declutter and vacuum!
    Level Two
    Wipe sofas - (clean the throws)
    Level three
    Vacuum right the way up the stairs!

    Wonderful Wednesday - childrens/spare rooms (this can be a second reception room or another room but do try to complete something!)
    Level One
    Declutter floor!
    Level Two
    Fill a box with junk from the floor and sort it to its rightful place!
    Collect all the laundry from upstairs

    Thursday thrills - Master bedroom and landing
    Level Two
    Clear the floordrobe
    Clear the floor on the landing
    Level Three
    Vacuum the cleared floors!

    I figure if i can get these done i shouldn't be in too bad a position for the rest of the week and i can do some extra bits at the weekend.

    As usual DS1 is going to help by doing 1 job as is hubby (not that he knows it yet haha) however DS2 is helping me with all the other jobs as he's grounded and with no tv, computer etc he won't have anything better to do.

    DS2 did tidy his bedroom and toyroom last night as part of his punishment so thats 2 rooms that arn't really terrible.

    Just finished 2 hrs of cleaning :eek: but at least the bathroom, the ensuite and downstairs toilet are all gleaming now. I even wiped the top of the doors and the skirting boards !:p What took the most time was shifting all the chemicals and war paint that my wife uses to make herself look beautiful- whats wrong with soap, toothbrush, razer and aftershave ? :rolleyes:

    Just stopping for a cup of tea and then I will get on with it all again.

    Well done Sarah for getting the job :T
    Divorce all finished- now to start saving for a better future!
