Hi,
Hope everyone's well. Here's how I got on:
Thursday Thrills-Bathroom
Level 1
[STRIKE]Sweep & mop bathroom floor[/STRIKE]
Level 2
[STRIKE]Wipe surfaces[/STRIKE]
Extra
[STRIKE]General de-cluttering[/STRIKE]
Dailies
[STRIKE]
Bins
Laundry
Errands
Dishes
[/STRIKE] (although DH did the dishes!)
ALL DONE :j Was a bit stressed as workmen turned up unexpectedly to do some work on the driveway (we live in council property & when the workmen assessed the driveway on Monday they said they didn't know what day they'd turn up but it would be within the next 3 weeks). Which was a little frustrating as they say you don't need to be in whilst they're working but I prefer to be there in case there's any problems. AND they're coming back again tomorrow. AND we've got someone coming to fix the shower between 8 & 1. AND we've got someone coming to fix a window between 12 & 2. Don't get me wrong, I'm really grateful that we've got a property that is fully suitable for DH's needs; it's just the amount of work that needs doing to it. The driveway was an absolute wreck when we moved in & initially the council would not fix it because they hadn't put it there, until the occupational therapist pointed out to them that there may be a small chance that my visually impaired husband who has dizzy spells might just slip & hit his head on the broken paving slabs. But we soldier on
Anyway, tomorrow's list:
Funky friday-Spare room/Study/DumpingGround
Level 1
Wash bedding
Level 2
Organise room/de-clutter
Dailies
Errands
Check bins
Dishes
Laundry

The kids room not too bad, so hopefully won`t take too long, but the spare room, well that`s another story. I`m trying to clear this out so DS1 can have his own room and space from DS2. It`s taken me all this week in between other flying to clear most of the clutter, so hoping by the end of today this will be cleared ready for him. Something is bound to turn up, so we shall see.
I haven`t kept on top of the reading so maybe i`ll do that now. Catch you all later.Grocery Challenge 2013: July week 1 £90/£87.41

Didn't quite get all of my "things to do by Fridaay" list finished before bed, but near enough. Just a few bits to whizz through tomorrow before MIL gets here. Then we can box up the contents of the kitchen and start taking the cupboards appart and cleaning behind them. And by Monday I should have a new kitchen! (and hopefuly within the month I shhould have a FINISHED kitchen, with tiles and fresh paint and things
My imediate plan though (if baby is co-operative) is to get us both back to bed!
Happy Friday everyone!
