    Thursday ~ Master Bedroom and Landing
    Level One
    Declutter the floor.. and vacuum it! Decluttered;vacuuming is Mr LW's job.
    Strip the bedding, wash and replace! This will happen Saturday, our regular bed change day.
    Level Two
    Vacuum the dust mites off the mattress and turn it if you can! See above
    Declutter your make-up.. it breeds all manner of germs!! and bin any ancient smellies OK it's done *wonders how the heck Pigpen knew I'd been putting this off for months*

    Level Three
    Find 5 items from each cupboard to be binned/charity shopped.. pairs of things can count as 2... holey socks, pants with no elastic etc.. Tried, but I can't find anything else to chuck out; sorry. We do keep an ongoing box for stuff to go to the RSPCA shop and a black bag for stuff for the textile bank, so stuff tends to get turfed out straight away rather than hoarded.

    Extras
    1. Sock pairing session.. you have to pair up at least 20 odd socks! We don't have any odd socks.:confused: Honestly.:o
    2. Clean vacuum innards, pipes and filters.. do not use again until it is all dry! Did the handheld yesterday; Dyson too heavy for me to move.
    3. Wash some stinky trainers!! .. We all have some! We don't! Neither of us wears trainers.:p
    4. Mend 1 item you have been putting off for weeks! Sewed up ripped glove seam that would probably never have got done.:o
    THURSDAY IS COMPLETE.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
