  • Im back and sort of in this week, been in and out of hosp over the last two weeks. Toots, soon as i'm better i shall get the parcel off to you. Anyway, I shall be aiming for just level ones this week and if i get more done/am capable of doing it i can be a happy lady then. Anyways, i;ve done nothing in the kitchen, looks like a dump, and as J has been looking after the kids and trying to keep house, all that got done was school uniforms packed lunches and children being decluttered to school...really proud he mannaged to get that done to be fair! He is exhausted thoughand said he has no idea how i do it all....honestly neither do i!!! Anyway, after the kids have gone to school and ive had a rest i shall try get some of the kitchen done. Hope everyone is doing ok, hugs to everyone and thanks to Toots, piggers and soappie x

    Morning all

    Thifty - my sympathies to you and DH on the loss of his friend. Hope the house goes through smoothly.

    Awake and quite alert early this morning so I got up. Minimal gunkiness in my eyes this morning but the right one is still quite swollen - but not as swollen as yesterday so I think it's on the mend. I have a meeting today with some high brows who I've not met before so I'll have to explain I'm not normally this ugly and no, I haven't been crying all night!

    I am determined to get 5 stars this week and did do some stuff yesterday so lets see what I can cross off today.

    Mooooooooooooonday ~ Kitchen and Dining room!
    Level One
    Declutter and wipe the worksurfaces.. and sink.. polish those taps!
    [STRIKE]Sweep[/STRIKE] and mop floor
    Level Two
    Empty and clean out a cupboard.. [STRIKE]fling all that is dead, mouldy or inedible.. and DD1 says all weevilly things too.. but I like them.. they are full of protein![/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wipe units and cupboard fronts[/STRIKE]
    Wipe and replace all small appliances
    Level Three
    Clean the oven and [STRIKE]hob[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Clean out the fridge.. you do not need furry food![/STRIKE]
    Dust and deweb.. and Wipe some paintwork

    I have one of these!! I try to sneak on and off the playground in school run to avoid those dreaded words spoken by the teacher "....could I have a quick word Mum....". :o I give DS a sidewards glance and watch him shrug and look down at his feet! He's too cute for his own good! Our parents evening is next week....

    ETA - hob cleaned, kitchen cupboards wiped down, small appliances wiped!

  • New one to me - will have a further look.

    Yes we do Samaritans Purse one through our church and school (a church school). But we also support the Genesis Project in Sheffield - which aims to allow poorer families to buy presents for their children at lower costs that they can afford. The toys etc are all donated.

    Anyway must go - school run time

    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.
