  • Will be thinking of you Lady-L

    Welcome back toots :hello:
    I was worried you might have been caught in the floods.

    No flying in the craftyhouse this week. Assignment due in on Friday and as usual I have left it till the last minute (actually this time think I might have passed even my bad habits) and no extension possible for this one.

    Wilf i got that iron as well from bzzagent. I let my mate take it last october so she could try it out and comment on it and am still waiting for it back.

    I don't iron very often so i don't mind and she loves it.

    In my HHC in the kitchen I wiped down all the worksurfaces, wiped clean inside the pan cupboard, wiped down the panstand. Bottom of the fridge wiped clean and the glass shelf washed. Peas put back in the bag in the freezer and the drawer wiped

    Like wiping the inside of cupboards and making them all clean ready for Christmas as they should last until then! Only 2 cupboards left to do (the biggest ones!) The kitchen looks gleaming again even tho' I only did last week's list yesterday! It seems to get grotty very quickly!

    I will leave the unit doors and lg appliances and kickboards until later on in the week and they will only take a few minutes to do

    Cleaning the microwave and ironing later on after lunch :D

    Wilf55 & Dustykitten, how did you do?

    I finished my ironing, I am quite disappointed that it took me so long to do 5 shirts, oh well, I am going to have my lunch and then put the clothes away.

    Unfortunately the dreaded oven is the only thing left on my list:

    [STRIKE]HHI[/STRIKE]
    Clean the oven and [STRIKE]hob..[/STRIKE]:D
    Extras DONE

    I am going to try and strike another item from my own list this afternoon:
    • Work out what needs to be vacuum packed (bedding etc) and do it
    • Find home for left over stuff on bed
    • Package stuff up from course at work and put in loft/put away
    • Work out what to do with other stuff in room
    • Tidy inside/on top of wardrobe
    • Move chair back downstairs
    • Put shelves in cupboard for books
