Okay my 5 to do's....

1) Clean the oven then put the Lakeland Oven Liner in the bottom to make this chore easier in future. I bought it for £1 - brand new from the charity shop about a year ago so time to put it into use!!

2) Go to Leisure Centre and obtain gym membership forms - fill them in and book first session!!

3) Clean dolls house which has lived in hall for about 6 months and pass to my friend along with the box of Brio which she is going to borrow for her little one

4) List 20 items for sale on Amazon / Ebay

5) Mow the lawns so my long suffering Mother doesn't end up doing it next weekend

Kaz ~ I'm so with you on loving this thread and the support that people give for each other here, but finding at times I just can't keep up with it ...maybe it's because we're from Norfolk ( I went to a party in London many years ago ,when I still knew what a party was, and told this guy I came from Norwich, he asked me " Do you make your own entertainment".......)

My Five things List:

1. To get up on the step ladder and clean the tops of the kitchen units
2. Pull the oven out and clean behind it
3. Take ten ebay pictures
4. Upload and list them
5. Make not buy (!) pasta salad for church bring and share

Now I have to go and iron ds2's favourite tee shirt as he is off to Poland tomorrow and can't go without it

Right - I am in - but following on from Supervision at work - will be more realistic about how much I can actually achieve with working full time as well.

So I will aim for level 1 only - hence
Magnificent Monday ~Crabby kitchen!
Level One
Clear and wipe worksurfaces
Empty and wash out the bin.. make it smell sweet!
Level Two
Sweep and mop the floor
Level Three
Thoroughly clean the oven and hob
Extras

1. Wipe over the oven and hob
2. list 2 items on ebay
   

Will try for other levels and see how I go but have trimmed list down as my leg will be even more painful after work.

Right list of 5:

1. Pay a bill for Mum - need to write letter with it.
2. QHG each evening - will try for HHG but not sure will meet that
   
3. clear access to utility room - tired of standing on things to reach the sink
4. Clear hall - put up hanging rail for Mum's clothes
5. Plant shrubs and plants before they completely die!

Five things....

***racks brain***

1 - learn to write a macro (well re learn/revise really)
2 - hair appointment (pre interview)
3 - clear out old make up which I know I have had for too long...ahem *cof*
4 - update fluffing bank account and send money to friend for theatre tickets
5 - Post letter about parking fine (s'on the forum if you're interested...)
6 - sort out paperwork for interview

5's too easy really as I have written it....

Lily I am NOT from Norfolk BUT I have had trouble keeping up. Should be easier now I have found the view first unread button again...
After you clean your unit tops line them with newspaper (ie spread it out) then next time just change the paper...it absorbs grease etc so makes the job MUCH easier....)
Hex smiled wryly at your CD sorting challenge for mine (would you believe) are in alphabetical order by artist except for compliations which are under V for various ... I cannot stand having them out of order .... all except for Prince who's been at my mates since last Easter when I went to Benidorm (by last Easter I mean Easter 2008 BTW) She house sat and got him mixed in with hers...

I make up my own by counting fingers but I keep getting to 12

Will deffo sort out a date to get together but kinda busy at the moment what with having major plans suddenly. Have foreign student here until 17th, then 18 - 25th we're in Kessingland then I only have 3 Saturdays before we fly out for the big day :eek: but should be able to sort one of those if it suits you (1st, 8th or 15th Aug)

Evening all,

Thanks Pigpen and Toots.

I went shopping this morning and bought a BBQ and some food, when i got back i noticed the fridge wasn't working. OH had a look at it and changed the fuse but it was dead. So, we went on a fridge hunt and managed to get one we could take away with us. That and taking out the old one and putting in the new one took most of the afternoon then we couldn't have our BBQ as it was raining.:rolleyes:

Then after i put DS2 to bed i went to do some ironing and the iron wouldn't work:rolleyes: so i phoned Oh and asked to borrow his as he never uses it. I'm just waiting for the third thing now.:cool:

My 5 things for the week

1. Clear desk (seeing as Pigpen says I have to :rolleyes:)
2. Clear utility surfaces, put on two new doors & change outside lightbulb
3. Make wedding cake :eek: by Friday morning
4. Update finances
5. Start (at least) new versions of CVs and post SOMETHING on jobsite and monster...

OK... so my theory is that if I get ahead with the kitchen I'll have more time to do the other stuff on my list. Also, I have friends coming for supper tomorrow, so the whole of downstairs needs to be respectable...

kazm & lilysue - it's not because you're from Norfolk that you can't keep up with the thread... it's because you're busy! Everyone understands - we all have times that we can and can't keep up. I find toots' posts handy for catching up as she remembers EVERYTHING!!! I have to say, I've enjoyed being able to keep up this week, as when I'm working it's difficult. I can't imagine what it must be like working full time, having kids AND trying to keep up with the thread
