I'm taking it that the schools down the country go back next week??? Ours don't go back till the 20th:eek: Will get the boys to do their room tomorrow and if I'm feeling up to it I will finish off todays list (that i can't find at the moment)and give them a hand.
Friday fun! - childrens rooms
We need these looking nice for when the children go back to school so I think it is only fair they help clear up!
Level One
Clear the floors in the childrens room.. throw out any broken toys and find some that are no longer needed that can be sent to charity shop or given away.
Drag everything out from under the bed too.. there is floor under there!!
Level Two
Change the childrens bedding/wash curtains
Vacuum mattress (after turning & wiping any waterproof sheets) and floors
Wash window
Level Three
Sort through a clothing cupboard.. anything outgrown?
Put any discs back in cases and books back on shelves etc
Dust.. lightshades, curtain poles, games consoles/PC's etc
Extras- Make sure coats and shoes and uniforms are ready for school and homework is all done so you can relax the second week of holidays!
- Wipe any sticky handprints and dirty marks off walls and doors
- Wipe down the paintwork & radiators
- Clean out any pets!

Morning Piggers - you're up early again I see
And good morning to everyone else
I shall have to adapt today's list. I shall do the front room (not been in there for several days) and the utility area.

morning soappie!!
My alarm has just gone off... lol...
I only watched holby..saved the others for another day!!
The children are meant to be going out with their dad today.. he is collecting them at half ten until 5pm.. and in view of the fact I haven't had anything other than the couple of hours on Sunday and 2 nights at college off from them I am refusing to have them back until 5!! lol.. well within my rights I think!!
I am hoping to make some severe headway in the boys room today as it is appalling in there!! I'd do it now but they are all still fast asleep!! lol
Nail appointment at 9:15.. I thought they'd be closed but obviously not!
LOADS and LOADS of laundry to catch up on.. and I need to drag the vacuum about.. the downstairs, stairs, landing and bathroom can all be done...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 -
Piggers, if you've managed to offload the little ones for the day why don't you make time for yourself? OK, you're having your nails done, but why not do something else relaxing instead of laundry and housework? Give yourself a break! xxI am the leading lady in the movie of my life

I will have a nap mid afternoon as I am out tonight with some of the girlies from college.. so will be needing my bed by 10pm otherwise lol.. but I must make some headway through this mess! Though I am aware it may well be my need for control taking over!!..

That's unlikely I'll be well and truly bored by the time I've got halfway through the girly room.. it is such a big room and there is simply too much stuff in it!! and too many girls!! Which is what I am ultimately hoping to change!
The 2 littlies appear to have just surfaced!! lol.. sleepy heads!!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
