    Evening! Can't believe it's Friday already :eek:

    Today I have been to the City Museum to see an exhibition of British Rock from the 50s and 60s. It was good (and free!) and lunch in the cafe there was yummy and only £3 for a jacket potato with cottage cheese, a side salad and a roll and butter!

    greenbee and sexymouse - hope you're both feeling better

    mummyof5 and hellsbells - hugs x

    helen - brilliant news :T working with people with learning difficulties is great!

    lil_me - wow; impressive! well done you

    leanne - welcome

    Hi all
    Just popping in to update my list and send some hugs for anyone who needs one. DS has decided to become nocturnal, so my apologies if this post makes no sense whatsoever. He's asleep now so I'll take the opportunity to sleep myself.

    Anyway, here's what's outstanding:

    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining Mess
    Level One
    Level Two
    Clear out a cupboard.. the larder unit if yyou jave one or just the general messiness of cupboard.. the one where you stuff all things useless.
    Level Three
    Wipe the tops of the wall units.. lining them with old wallpaper or newspaper keeps them clean!

    Tuesday ~ Living/Family/Reception room
    Level One
    Level Two
    Level Three
    Polish any glass.. screens, pictures, ornaments mirrors etc

    Wednesday ~ Master bedroom
    Level One
    Level Two
    Wash the curtains/nets and clean the window before rehanging them!
    Dust away the webs and fluff
    Level Three
    Sort through a box of stuff... I have about a million to do!
    Tidy up a cupboard of clothing

    Thursday ~ Bathroom, hall, stairs and landing!
    Level One
    Level Two
    Empty out and clean a cupboard.. put back the necessaries neat and tidy!
    Level Three
    Tidy the towel cupboard.. any manky towels can be donated to the PDSA or dog rescue.. they always need them!.. and blankets etc

    Friday ~ Chimps rooms!/Spare rooms..

    Level One
    Level Two
    Rope children in and declutter the floors and quickly vacuum them
    Straighten cupboards of clothing/shoes
    Level Three
    Tidy up a bookcase or a toy box.. or just a box of junk!
    Wash any smelly curtains and wash windows

    Might manage to catch these last little bits over the weekend, but don't hold your breath!

    Take care
