Hi all, I'll do what I can. Not been a good day today, feel awful again. Not been out of house as can't stand up or walk for long.

Brought some washing in and made tea which was already in slowcooker.

Spoke to my friend for an hour and caught up with her which was lovely.

LIST DONE - For the new house :rotfl:
LIST WILL BE DONE - For the caravan, needs a good muck out again once we're unpacked on site tomorrow!
LIST IMPOSSIBLE - For this house!

Well nearly all packed for hols now, packing all what the boys will have out until after the move, so they can wear what we have now for hols (when washed) until we've moved. Packed another few bags/boxes, definately learned a few lessons from last time like packing uniforms seperately. Managed to smash a bottle of vodka wine rack just collapsed. Second thing to go wrong in this house this week. Think it's telling me something?

Wondering when the LL will get suspicious, rent is due end of the month but I usually pay by the 5th just because of how our income works. I am sending it in a cheque with the notice in a request for either the info of which scheme our deposit is in or the cheque + £50 due to be returned. I checked again last week and according to all the deposit schemes she still hasn't done it even if I have asked her 4 times. She is breaking the law so if she decides to deduct anything, we'll be leaving it in better condition than when we moved in, I will take action. I don't want to upset her. I only have not notified her as a) I know she still has a key b) she will want people viewing. I don't want people wandering around when we are not here, I am still giving legal notice required, I feel awful but have to protect myself too.

Anyway, 7/8ths packed, DP being bum all help as per usual, I have done it all. Washing up done smashed another glass.......bother.......oh well less to pack. Think it's quick shower without wetting my hair as I feel grotty then bed so I can get up to sort carpet fitters out.

Triker take it easy honey, sorry to hear you've been feeling worse again, hope you are better soon x

Incase I don't pop on again have a nice 11 days, if mobile BB works I will be around. Toodles x x

I am in, although planning to start a bit later (DS woke me screaming but he and DH are back to sleep now, shame it takes me so long to fall back asleep that it is pointless!) Off to read James Herriot book now.
I hope we all have a productive week, and thanks Pigpen and Toots for all the lists/stars.

Level One
Declutter all the floors
Tidy away the coats and bags and shoes etc
Level Two
Vacuum all the floors, shake the muck out of any mats
Dust and polish any electricals
Wipe and water and plants
Level Three
Check all those smoke alarms!
Straighten any books/CDs/DVDs etc on shelves
Tidy the understair cupboard- we have a cupboard and a storage area- one at each side. The storage area is fairly organised as we had a shoe sort out (it is shoes/laundry storage in there!). The actual cupboard (craft/wool/random supplies/papers etc) has had a mega sort out recently and is fairly organised, but the wool storage is still causing a problem so will concentrate on that (lots of wool accumulated over the years!), and also declutter some boxes I was keeping'just in case'!
