I forgot to say thanks to mumoftwo for link to help me sort out my backwards typing yesterday. I restarted laptop and then it was okay again.

I still haven't cleaned out freezer but DS2 is back home from work so he can help with the lifting and I can hold the hairdryer.

Thanks for the quote Greenbee
Mudders - sending your DS healing vibes...

My bedroom feels MUCH better now it's clean and sorted - and so do I!

toochoosey

I have sorted most of the toys in the LR....they now live in an empty, useless space behind one of the chaits, where you can't see them but quite easy to access if wanted. They were behind the othr chair and in full sight as soon as you walk into the LR, so thats something. I have also washed up from dinner and put 3rd load of washing on. Pizza and sausage rools done for DD's lunch tomorrow and the ironing will be done sometime before 9, ready for CSI.
Hugs for Mudbath and DS, hope he and you feel better soon xx

Well picked up Avon books and and did shopping. Getting better at shopping for just 1 week works out at around £40 to £45 a week.
Got home to kitchen smelling of DD2 beef stew that she made yesterday at school. Very impressed with the cook book they are using, good basic cooking from scratch with suggestions of alternative meats etc for budget cooking. Dumplings on should be ready in 20 mins. TTFN

I somehow think I'm going to have trouble getting everything done

Lots of stuff recycled (why do I buy newspapers?), DW emptied and stuff put away, dirty stuff either in sink to wash up later or in DW. I MUST try to clear the surfaces when I get back (maybe while I'm cooking) as I'll need to cover a couple of cakes tomorrow morning!

Better get myself cleaned up before going to reflexology.

OMG I'm in shock. Just read the local paper and someone Rach and I worked with on the community thing has been sent to prison for 5 years for sexual assualt :eek::eek: What makes it worse (if there can be a worse!) is because of what he was... (can't really explain further I'm afraid)

I think I need to say hello to Gordon sharpish. Rach - I'll PM you the link....

On a flying front, I have routed around the freezer and dug out steak for tea....

Right new leaf:rotfl:, instead of the woe is me I have no time to fly and finish the list, I have decided to be realistic for once in my life and accept that I only have 24 hours in a day, and that there is only 1 of me:D.

So with this in mind for the next 3 weeks I am aiming to complete a level 1 in each room per day, once I have managed to incorporate this into my day then I will progress, thus succeeding instead of failing miserably every day.

So yesterday I managed

Manic Monday ~ Kitchen & Dining Room
Level One
Declutter worksurfaces
Sweep and mop floors
Level Two
Wipe worksurfaces and see if you can do those small appliances on the way round
Level Three
Wipe the hob and oven
Extras

1. 2 and a half hour homework help for DS1

and today I have managed

Tuesday ~ Bathroom and study..
Level One
Declutter floors
Clean bath, loo, shower.. etc etc.. you get the idea..

so am now feeling quite positive. House is still full of gibble and detritus, but I have achieved what I set out to do.

Tonight I might even get the ironing board out:eek: (look out for the snow:rotfl:).
