    It's far too early for that kind of nonsense:rotfl:
    For those of us woken at 6.30 by a singing toddler its nearly afternoon now ;).
    In my HHC I managed to-
    - clean the medicine cupboard out
    - empty and fumigate stinky kitchen bin (gets stinky quickly as we use it as main bin really!)
    - take all dry clothes off airer ready to be put away.

    Just about to start another HHC, when I will tackle the stuff on the list for DS's room. Might also have to hoover downstairs as its a bit mucky.
    Also frequent checks of 'need a pee pee?' in DS's direction lol!

    Morning everyone!

    [QUOTE=Princess Jane;24778263
    Just had my second lot of smear results back and an abnormal result is now normal.
    Big sigh of relief - considering tattoo to celebrate.[/QUOTE]

    Great news Jane, you must be chuffed! What are you thinking of getting done?

    Well, my DS saw the Doc (taken in through side door to avoid waiting room, Doc wore mask & gloves!), she doesn't think he has SW, just a really bad viral infection, which has hit him hard because of his asthma (& his smoking probably - but will he be told? - no, of course he won't!!)

    Here's my list:
    Marvellous Monday ~ Living room, Hall and Stairs
    :j:jALL DONE:j:j

    Twinkly Tuesday ~ Kitchen of Grot and Diming Room of Gloom
    :j:jALL DONE:j:j

    Wiggly Wednesday ~ Bedroom and Landing
    Level One
    Strip and wash the bedding, remake bed before bedtime!
    Declutter the floor and vacuum it! See if you can find a bit of floor you've not seen in a while!
    Level Two
    binbag dance
    Sort a box of junk/cupboard/drawer
    Dust and deweb
    Level Three
    Wash any curtains/nets/pillows etc that are in need
    Tidy up the shoes and clothes that are scattered about
    Tidy the linen cupboard

    Thursday ~ Childrens pits, spare or neglected rooms!
    Level One
    Strip , wash and replace bedding
    Declutter and vacuum the floor
    Level Two
    Sort through a cupboard.. any cupboard, could even be a kitchen one!
    Drag out and sort all the gibble from under the bed!
    Straighten the toy boxes and shelves
    Level Three
    Wash any soft furnishings that need it.. or the duvet!
    Dust and deweb
    Wipe sticky grotmarks from the walls, doors and paintwork

    I doubt I will get the bedroom & landing done this week as we are decorating the landing & our bedroom is full of boxes etc!
    DS (as he feels a bit better) & DD will be doing their rooms today while I;m at work.

    Off to get ready for work....

    Morning all - it it positively foul here...bearing in mind that on Sunday I had an empty 210l water butt (I needed to move it to paint the shed) it collects water from the shed roof only and is almost FULL.
    I have been and brought back my neighbours wheely bin which was heading down the road (mine wouldn't dare - it was exactly where it should have been:rotfl:) and took it 'home' for them then I brought mine in. They are put out side-by-side!
    Washing done - towels - I shall check the forecast and decide whether to use the TD...

    I won't get any flying done this morning, so will concentrate on paperwork. My attic is currently being hoovered by the pest control guy though, so I'm hoping that will count :D

    Valli - if it's a windy with you as it is here, your towels should dry in about 2 minutes... if you can persuade them to stay on the line!

  • Have returned from the wilds of the North East & no internet access (boring sorry saga) so trying to catch up.

    DS deposited back at school and I have a days holiday off work to sort this house.

    HHC at 9.30 anyone?

    right where's my list?

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
