Anyone up for another HHC at 10.30?Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
I was asked if I had written that....so you can see I have the same problem....except mine is with unopened mail:rolleyes::mad:Grrrrr RANT ALERT!
Sometimes I wonder why I bother. Yesterday, I decluttered the living room floor and hoovered it. Do I get any thanks for that? No! On the contrary, the bits and bobs that belong to OH got put on his chair for him to sort out when he got home - he doesnt like me putting his things away as he claims he cant find them again when I do. So what does he do? He comes home, pickes up the pile (about 5 items) and dumps it on the floor :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
AND THEY ARE STILL THERE THIS MORNING!!!!!:mad::mad:

After an unsuccessful week last week (hampered by the snow, the kids and myself) I'm aiming for just level ones this week and a few bits off my weekly list
Monday - Living room, hall and stairs
Level one
[STRIKE]Clear floors of clutter and vacuum them

Actually I could really do with one of these so I'm moving it to my weekly list as I havent done it today.
Level Three
Sort out emergency box.. in case of power failures etc.. candles, matches/lighter/torch/batteries and emergency numbers.. plumber, gas, electric, water etc
And this: can't reach to check cos I'm not allowed on the ladder but I'm going to keep it on the list and ask DH to do it.
Its really important, and a great reminder, thanks
