    :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:

    I get back pain if I oversleep - best thing to do is usually to get moving. Mind you... maybe yours is due to overexertion ;):p (I mean all that climbing up ladders obviously...):D

    Bedroom tidied... trying to put off the inevitable going outside and working out how to get the car out bit....

    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 :)

    Mon
    day - Living room, hall and stairs
    Level one
    [STRIKE]Clear floors of clutter and vacuum them
    Make time for yourself!! Half an hour of peace!/hobbies[/STRIKE]


    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 :)
    Check smoke alarms

    Tuesday ~ Kitchen, Utility and Dining Area
    Level One
    Wipe and replace small appliances
    Declutter and wipe work surfaces
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Sweep and mop floors[/STRIKE]
    Wipe units/appliances
    Clear and wipe window sills.. do not put back the junk.. bin it!
    Level Three
    Tidy, clear and wipe the top of the fridge and freezer
    [STRIKE]Clean one small appliance thoroughly.. microwave, kettle, iron, [/STRIKE]
    Clean appliance filters.. WM, DW, Kettle, Vacuum cleaner.. cooker hood.. :p

    And once again, something I must do, thats probably even more necessary than cleaning!
    1. Medical box - restock and inventory. I'm sure a lot of us will have run out of the vitals the last few months!


    Weekly list of horrible things that I must do:
    [STRIKE]Post Ebay stuff[/STRIKE] (yipee, I sold DSs major buggy :) )[STRIKE]:j
    Post letters for cancelling things[/STRIKE]
    Phone OU and see if its too late to enrol
    Hospital appt
    Doc appt
    [STRIKE]Put prescriptions in[/STRIKE]
    Pick prescriptions up
    [STRIKE]Go to DVLA office and get replacement tax disc for the one I lost in the snow on sat.[/STRIKE]
    Go to kia garage with scrappage stuff.
    Put something else on ebay.
    Help DSt do unfinished homework from last term and take it in
    Chase up council re DS1s funding for courses
    DSs HORRIBLE DLA renewal form which has been looming at me all week. This will be a major stress out of the way when its done.:confused:

    Also, personal challenges:
