then LR is done apart from pc stuff which I'll do on thurs.

wm and td will be on all day and I'll pack everything as it's dried;

Tuesday
packing bedroom and bathroom and more laundry (have some curtains and linings to wash for flat)

Wednesday
carpets being fitted so will be working at the flat whilst that's going on - finish wiping out cupboards and put up nets

I've finished, Toots, assuming my substitutes are acceptable!

Monday~ Kitchen of Grot and Dining Room of Gloom DONE:j
Level One
[STRIKE]Declutter and mop/vacuum the floors[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Find and wipe the worksurfaces [/STRIKE].
Level Two
[STRIKE]Wipe the big appliances and units.. don't forget kickboards![/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Wipe small appliances and replace.. do one thoroughly.. descale or decrumb or degunge![/STRIKE] Cleaned the counter-top phone...oh my....
[STRIKE]Clear a sticky dishevelled cupboard [/STRIKE]Can I substitute 'Spot clean a sticky carpet to remove jam, chocolate cake, gravy and apple pie trodden into the pile under the dining table'?
Level Three
[STRIKE]Wipe the table and replace the cloth if necessary.[/STRIKE] Did that last night.
[STRIKE]HHI [/STRIKE] I try not to iron anything! But I have done a HHCooking session instead to: make ham stock; make beef stock (from joints at weekend); chop all the beef off the ribs to make a stew later in the week; combine all the left-over veggies to make bubble and squeak later in the week; use the left-over ham, pastry (from apple pie), cream (from apple pie) plus dodgy mushrooms and bits of cheese to make a big quiche for the freezer.
[STRIKE]Clean the oven and hob.[/STRIKE].

Extras

1. [STRIKE]Clean out the fridge.. make use of anything almost past its best [/STRIKE]
2. Wash the windows
3. Binbag dance
4. clean door deals, filters and deterrgent drawers!

Phew! That was quite a job today, but I've also done the downstairs loo and spot-cleaned the hall where all the mud got trodden in. And I've dealt with a lot of useful leftovers.

Must dash now - have to leave house at 3:00pm and haven't got stuff ready to go....

Hugs to everyone, especially Eltee. Thanks for keeping me company, Rosepink

OK, that went well, lady on the phone has found cover for the BC but said there is a school closer thet may need cover soon so that would be more do-able....Thanks again for the advice, I hate speaking to people on the phone!!!

Anyway, enough chit chat, I need to go to the P.O to get electric on the way back from the school run...we were going to go to a local promotional event with the local radio station and some football platers but the heavens have opened so will have to give that a miss....just got the washing in in time!!!!!

Right where is my list......

Ok, I have decluttered a rather nice lunch and taken all my meds and actually emptied about a third of the crate of doom though I can't help thinking my OH is randomly putting things in there when he finds them as it never seems to be emptying!!

Pen-Pen - thank you so much for deleting the duplicate for me.. I haven't been able to get on til now and it was on my mind!

Jinky - pass me a couple of 'twinks', there's a good girl!

I wanted to show off the mushrooms I have been growing. Well, I bought the kit for my other half so he has been tending to them and they are fab! I am sad enough to have made a slide show of them HERE for those of you with nothing better to do :rotfl::rotfl:. I know the end photo of two of them cooked makes them look like someone stepped on them but they did taste fab, it's just that we over cooked them!!

Hi all, I'm back.....Had aword with the cook up the school and she said I could drop DD off at BC at 7:45 to do the other BC but that gives me 10 mins to do what may be a 20min drive and I'm not dure the money will be worth it after diesel.......need an excuse not to do it (even though the money would be useful) but on tue and thu it woul mean dropping off DD at 7:45 to be at other school for 7:55, finish at 9 to be at welsh class at 10 to be at work for11:50.....is it worth the extra money????????????

Advice/excuses welcome!!!!

a. work out what it'll pay vs. the cost of getting yourself there & back
b. if that works out, tell them that if they can't find anyone else, you'll try it for a week and see whether it's feasible (that way if they do ask, they'll know from the start that you're doing them a HUGE favour), but you think you will probably be 10 minutes late as a minimum, depending on traffic.

That way, you'll be showing willing, and you may have a chance to give it a go, which case you'll be able to justify it to yourself if you decide not to do it, and won't feel guilty about turning down the money!

I agree with what Greenbee has said.

Hoovered most of up and downstairs.

Just putting WM on and then off to neighbours with DS3 for a cuppa.
