    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Dust and deweb.. don't forget lightbulbs and shades![/STRIKE] cannot reach the lights and dont have a step ladder, standing on a chair is not a good idea either as I still cant reach
    [STRIKE]Scrub front door.. inside[/STRIKE] and out! - well I have done the inside but its too cold and dark outside
    [STRIKE]Wash any curtains/draught excluders[/STRIKE] DONT HAVE [STRIKE]and doormats[/STRIKE]!Not washable but hoovered
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Empty and declutter the cupboard under the stairs.. [/STRIKE]NO Clutter just spare food and drink stash, all tidied now

    2. Wipe and water and furry plants
    3. [STRIKE]Wipe paintwork and door knobs[/STRIKE] I think I have wiped more paint off the walls than is left on it, it is really is time to get the second coat on the walls
    4. [STRIKE]Sort coats and bags and shoes[/STRIKE] all neat and tidy and I wont allow DH more than 1 pair of boots in the alcove under the stairs
    Well, here's a good one for you all - Six o'clock this morning (having watched moonlight pad slowly across the ceiling like a cat), gave up and decided, as Tuesday's list was already completed, there had to be something else to do. As I like baking bread, went to get scales down from the top of the cupboard. I slipped and the household woke to the sound of me landing like a ton of bricks against the sink.
    Nothing appeared to be broken, but the bit where my lump was found was really, really sore. Said more rude words and got ready for the appointment.
    One scan later and the consultant announces that it would appear that I had a cyst which has apparently burst this morning and therefore does not require any treatment at all! I have to have a follow up scan in a couple of weeks to see if it comes back, but nothing to worry about!

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    So thank you all so much for your positive thoughts!
    Thats fantastic Jo, really pleased for you, I hope the relief from the worry isnt affected by the pain from the fall.

    Ok I have done the sandwiches already for tomorrow, cleared the kitchen and dining room table, so its looks like I have some leisure time which is a first and doubly good as DH is home this evening so we can watch something on TV together.

    See you all tomorrow
