    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining Area
    Level One
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Level Two
    Clean out the fridge.. am going to do this when I've cooked tea as there will be less in there then;)
    Level Three
    Wipe over the units and large appliances
    Extras
    wash windows
    Wipe over all the small appliances

    Ds has had an hours sleep (obviously why it went quiet:T) and has apologised to me so I will not be putting him on Freecycle now. I got rid of the packing boxes on there yesterday and Dh has now cleared it out.
    Tonight's mission is to take down the decs and change the sofa covers.
    Have a man from Hillarys coming tomorrow with quote for balckout blinds, Dh doesn't fancy doing them as he is not used to drilling in plasterboard walls, we have always been used to thick old solid walls not new build plasterboard. I am itching to get pictures up but Dh is not!

    Had a bath and washed my hair. Now I niff nice and not nasty!:D

    I really CBA to cook properly tonight. So I am going to whizz across the road to Mr T and grab some baking potatoes (if they have any) Cheese and mushroom topped baked pots with baked beans me thinks!:D:D:D

    I think I'm suffering from having permanent company syndrome!:rolleyes: I so need some me time, that doesn't include refereeing or having to nag to get something done every five minutes.

    I asked DS to walk the dog two hours ago :rolleyes: The dog is still waiting!:rolleyes:
    I asked everyone, this morning, to take a couple of the items (belonging to everyone) that are strewn at the bottom and halfway up the stairs, with them each time they go upstairs.:rolleyes: It appears that it is only me that goes upstairs!:rolleyes:
    I also asked if they could just tidy the stuff on the floor in the living room:rolleyes: Seems I ought to get my eyes tested as it's only me that can see it all:rolleyes:

    Off to Mr T's for a moments P & Q!!:D

    Well.... My HHC in the kitchen... has seen my bedroom being tidied up, some shredding done, and some shoes being polished. :confused::rolleyes:

    This is what happens....
    I get a wee notion to tidy...
    I go somewhere to get something ( in this instance I had to get dressed into some cleaning stuff )
    And I end up faffing about in there :rolleyes:

    Ah well, I guess in the grand scheme of things, as least I did something :o:rotfl:


    Ok... I have to ask what KH stands for ? :o
    I have worked out that its an Ex ... but I cant work out what the K is ?:o

    Ta
    Potty :D

    Edit: Off again now, to finish tidying up the bedroom :rolleyes:

    Well, unlike tootles and LL, I don't have special dispensation. I want to set an example to all of the new people on the board so please don't let my long and exhausting list put you off....you don't have to keep up with me because I ALWAYS do a lot. I don't think I've ever missed completing a list. In fact, you could say I am the perfect flylady (admittedly many people don't say that but you could say it if you wanted to!).

    Ok, so if you're ready.....my list......






    - I emptied the dishwasher!





    Phew....exhausted now. I'll have to go and lie down!:rotfl:

    In my defence I have also; gone on the wii fit plus, read some of my new book, text dd a million times as she keeps texting me, taking DD shopping for some new clothes when I realised nothing fitted her (actually, that's quite funny because I didn't realise nothing fitted her until AFTER DH had finished the ironing :rotfl: - we have the best ironed clothes in our charity bag!).

    I am working for a whole hour tomorrow - I know, I know, I'll try not to wear myself out - so i'll go and clean the clinic now.

    Stripes watched 101 dalmatians....DH keeps telling her that he's really called Cruella now. Stripes looks at him like he's mad. Sometimes she is very intelligent.

    Right, HHC in the clinic 5 until 530 xx

    Updates:D

    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining Area
    DONE

    Extras
    1. [STRIKE]wash windows[/STRIKE]
    2. [STRIKE]Scrub the sink and polish the taps[/STRIKE]
    3. [STRIKE]Scrub down any tiles that are looking icky[/STRIKE]
    4. [STRIKE]Wipe over all the small appliances[/STRIKE]and emptied toaster tray..
    5. [STRIKE]Ironing - must have that basket empty![/STRIKE]
    6. Work list - write it at the very least
    7. Update banking.
    Potty - knob ;) (I'd prefer d!ck BUT it would shorten to DH and give ENTIRELY the wrong impression;):rotfl:)

    Oh and I have also put my 'old' stereo in the attic. I am keeping it because it does work and has a twin tape deck and a turntable and I have tapes and records - I have upgraded because it is no longer brilliant at reading CDs (and I am referring to proper shop bought ones) and the radio has alzheimers and forgets the preset station settings!
    (NO insult intended to people with alzheimers which is IMHO a cruel illness because it takes away your loved ones and replaces them with a sad and lonely shell - RIP Grandma)

    Now off to catch up with Cranford - I missed the ending due to WW3

    No pot - as Soappie's not around i'll go back and find her definition as I couldn't write it better. Be back soon!

    And to quote Soappie ...

    It is, I believe, short hand for a phrase that begins with a knob and ends in a head...

    I'm back again after cleaning the inside of my kitchen window and demoulding my kitchen. Not too bad as I only did it at the start of the month, its just with it being so cold outside and having used the TD & having the gas fire on its gotten damp in here again. Also managed to injure my eye :o I wear goggles (only cheap ones from £land) when I'm spraying the demoulder stuff and a mask over my mouth purely to stop the spray getting in my eyes or on my lips. The goggles steamed up so I lift them off my face to wipe them and they snapped back quick and caught me under my eye. Its all itchy and there's a red mark but otherwise it appears fine. :o

    Just chilling in the livingroom for a bit as the smell in the kitchen is a bit much - got the window open as far as I dare to try and help. Can't decide what to have for tea... ideas anyone? :confused:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Can I have a star please :j:j:j:j:jfirst star of the week for me wooot....took me 3 hours :o yes it was that bad

    Kitchen spangly, last DW load in now, did the floor by hand as still got no mop :rolleyes: forget to pick one up every time I am out. Even the kick board I've been nagging DP about since we got the keys is fixed on properly ***a la Mudders style, told him I'd get someone else to*** You can see your face in my hob instead of the splatters. Dad been, unfortunately it was safer for his partner, my neice & nephew to stay in the car as ALL paths to my house are sheet ice :(, DP did his best to clear them earlier but some is several inches thick, he loved his present of the Elizabethan banquet for 2 at the castle :D I got another bead for my bracelet with daughter on, it rattles now :) I have 6 plus a clip (don't like odd numbers so it's a clip) & a bed set which will fit the caravan as we use kingsize in the house, prefer it for that as it's 'on show' when we are away & it's very nice. DSs got more spoilt inc the MP3 players which they love. Table is even back in it's place after refitting the unit, was the ceramic heat bulb that went pop so that is going back £26.99 and lasted a week!!!

    Best go make tea, kids are 'starving' you know :rolleyes: will catch up later ((hugs)) to all especially Poppytime x x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb
