    I'm in again this week - thanks to pigpen, soappie and toots.

    I didn't get a chance to update on the old thread - managed at least one level in most rooms. The dailies and tea took over in the end, and I've been really tired all day. Solar power was obviously not enough. I'm proud to say that I've tidied the kitchen after tea, though. I've even washed the roasting tin straight away, which really isn't me.

    Off to finish school stuff now. I miss keeping up with the thread during the week and it's one of my treats at the weekend, but I don't manage to read back.
    Wishing everyone a good week.

    Hi all, done loads but not because I particularly meant to...DD1 had some horrendous projectile (and other stuff :eek:) vomiting bug yesterday leading through until 6am this morning so no real sleep.

    Anyway because I was obsessed with bacterial cleaning I got up after a few hours restless sleep and;

    done about 10 washes in WM first one put in at 6am! All at 90degrees.

    Bleached and soda crystaled the sinks and toilets

    bleached the floor, where spillages had occurred

    washed all mats, bathroom towels

    wiped all handles with wipes

    swept floors numerous times and bleached

    completely decluttered dining table, bleached, wiped, dried

    also aqll worktops in kitchen, cleared wiped everywhere under microwaves, breadmakers etc

    wiped and disinfected all cupboards fronts, and all white goods, DW, Fridge WM, TD

    Binned some clothes

    disninfected DD1's sick bowl 100 times

    toilet scrubbed 3 times

    the washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher haven't stopped today

    also hung washing outside, then brought it in, hung over banisters

    uniform sorted and washed

    all bedding changed on DD1's bed, all nightwear washed and replaced

    Also had an hour off this afternoon when hubby got back so I managed to rehome my silkie cockerel and got another lovely bantam hen, I'll post a pic when I can sort it...she's lovely :happylovebut more to the point I'm so happy that my silkie cockerel has a good home, he should be very, very happy as he is in a pen with about 30 females.:rotfl:

    So I haven't stopped but feel that I've achieved so much, even though I didn't plan to.

    Right off to catch up with the thread then bed....I'm knackered.

    Wow triker, that is one hell of a list! I hope DD1 is now feeling better, and you can get back to normal.

    Thanks to the fabulous three for sorting out the thread for this week.

    I am in again, but wont start on the lists til Tuesday - DH is still off and we are (hopefully) going to finish the bedroom. We are still sleeping in the front room, but we have painted the walls and ceiling. We just need to give both a last coat, and wallpaper one wall. Oh, and put everything back and clean it! Not much then!

    Happy flying everyone, Lilo

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.

    Morning all

    Guess who had a bed hopper! I was proof reading work for DS1 until 12:20 and then had DS3 in at 4:00am - somebody will be tired later.

    I've emptied the WM
    Sored 2 piles of paperwork so far.

    Going to just continue with the paperwork/hotspots in the family room for an hour now.
