Hi all, hugs to all in need, have been skim reading today, can't seem to concentrate......have hospital appointment at 4 tomorrow and can't eat anything after 9!!!!! I will be hungry BUT I have SW tomorrow evening so may lose 1/2 a lb!!!!

Now what I wanted to ask, as my mind has gone blank is, You know the buffer things they use in schools/hospitals/offices to do the floors.....does anyone know where I can buy one.....would love to do my floors so they look like new, they always look dirty, even after I've cleaned them, TIA xx

Please could I join in.
I've completed Tuesday and wednesday to level three and the extras but didn't air the duvet.
Just logged on to see what tomorrows are so I can start planning but I presume it only gets listed in the morning I'll check before I go to work.
I don't think this eagerness to clean will last though!!
My DH is revising for his exams so it has kept me busy and out of his way and the bedroom looks lovely!!

Ours was put upstairs in the airing cupboard as well but they aren't too big so DH built shelves at the side where the towels and stuff go and there's space underneath as well..

Thanks for that juliejim it did have me wondering! There was some talk about installing a radiator in the downstairs cupboard to act as a kind of airing cupboard, but I think I'd prefer to use it for the ironing board, hoover and so on as they are currently cluttering the place up!

Flying-wise, I've got the following left on today's list:

[FONT=&quot]Wednesday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Level 1 [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
Level 2
Level 3
Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing
Sort one area of clothes or linen storage making sure only what should be in there is, anything that's had it's day or doesn't belong there is removed

Hoovering will be done when OH is around to look after/distract DS (who is scared rigid of the vacuum!). I usually do the whole place in one go - takes about 20 minutes.

I've also done 2 hour's worth of ironing - and there's still some shirts to do. To say I've been neglecting it is an understatement. Still, I caught up on some TV programmes I missed earlier in the week...

Right, I'm off...I'm absolutely exhausted and if I go to bed now I stand a fair chance of getting a couple of hours kip before DS wakes up...
Take care

Have deleted what I've done but I won't get a star for the bedroom this week or anytime soon (unless I really pull my finger out)

It is such a mess as we need a wardrobe, we have stupid plasticky type chest of drawers and OH has sooooooooooooooooo many clothes they are all hanging over the end of the bed

I have managed to FILL 2 BINBAGS of rubbish this week during my binbag dances :j:j I've also cleared a load of crap from my bedside table AND dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn STARTED CLEARING MY PAPERWORK MOUNTAIN :D:D

OH is going to get me the shredder out later so I will do some shredding tomorrow and will get some filing done in my new concertina files. Also bought some more vacuum storage bags to pack away my maternity clothes and more clothes that Jack's grown out of.

Wash with water and washing up liquid to remove stickiness... and the wul prevents condensation!

Dry or swish with a squeejee... then run over with a microfibre clotth and white vinegar.. SHINY glass!!

I will do this tomorrow as I hate the condensation on the windows - I also need to get rid of the mould from the corners of the windowsill

Done dinner - need to finish tidying up
Supervised Trumpet Practice
Sorted out form for DS2's maths whizz kids class
fed cats

Toots - builder is not making too much mess, just a bit cold with the front door open

Cycling - hope your DD gets her options sorted out, I'm guessing the subjects she wants to do are not in the right blocks which is such a nightmare

Time to get DS3 ready for cubs.

you got that one right - she had 2 in 1 block and none in another - they have to pick 4.....but she was told that Sociology might move.....well it has but not into the block she can't choose one from......:(:(

May have to ring her 'Director of Learning' tomorrow for a chat;)
