      Hi All
      Just dropping in before I head out into the rain to collect DD from school. There will be minimal flying when I get back, so here's what I've achieved today:

      Wednesday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing
      Level 1
      [STRIKE]Check fire alarms are working. Who does not have a fire blanket/extinguisher in their home?[/STRIKE] Have checked CO monitor, but not smoke detectors - DS fast asleep atm.
      [STRIKE]Declutter the floor
      Remove and wash bed linen.[/STRIKE] Still waiting for last week's duvet cover to finish 'airing'....:whistle:but have changed the rest of the sheets.
      Level 2
      Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs.. (make sure to do the bed base.. mine was gross last week!)
      Vacuum and turn mattress before replacing with fresh linen
      [STRIKE]15 minutes floordrobe clearance [/STRIKE]
      Level 3
      [STRIKE]Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing[/STRIKE]
      [STRIKE]Sort one area of clothes or linen storage making sure only what should be in there is, anything that's had it's day or doesn't belong there is removed [/STRIKE] I actually cleared off some surfaces that had become junk despositories.
      Extras
      1. 27 fling boogie time, time for that midweek fling, go on grab a bag and clear that clutter
      2. Make your christmas plan.. what crafts things do you do? What meals are you cooking and when? What size lumps of meat do you need? :eek: only have a vague idea at the moment, but have made 2 x Christmas cakes (one for me and one for MIL)
      3. Finalise those christmas lists.. Cards, presents, food etc..Currently working on the Christmas card list - this is the first time in our married lives that we've actually had a 'proper' list (we've been married 16 years....).

      [STRIKE]Clean windows in these rooms[/STRIKE] Did this earlier in the week.

      Still have a few bits and pieces to do around the place, but have managed to start tackling the really bad room that belongs to DD. Have it on my dailies now - 30 mins DDs room.

      Right, that's me off - need to decide whether to wake DS and take him with me, or leave him with OH (who's allegedly working!).

      Take care all
      D

      Just in case its not clear, I have stripped, hoovered, aired for 10 mintes, and remade the bed. Also folded approx 6 loads of washing from the bedroom floor which made up my floordrobe. All folded in neat piles on the bed ready to put away at some point after the school run. Bedding in WM now, dryer almost done with the next load of stuff to be folded.

      Next job will be to sort through the wardrobe, and out piles of clothes away, once I get back from school. Also need to move DS1's new PS2 from the corner and put away somewhere(its his main Xmas prezzie), then deal with the rest of the clutter which is scattered on various surfaces around the room.
