    Tuesday - Master bedroom and landing
    Level One
    Remove wash and replace with clean the bedsheets and duvet cover

    Open the window and let in some fresh air!
    sort out your stash of slap.. what is past its best? Unworn? worn out?
    Level Two
    Clear the floor of clutter.. the landing too!
    Wash the windows
    15 minutes floordrobe clearance
    Level Three
    Clear out one cupboard/wardrobe that needs it
    Turn and vacuum the mattress
    Dust all those spider webs away.

    No extras today, be glad to just get this done to be honest.

    Was out running last night on a 5 mile run and took a bad fall 3 miles in. Had too hobble home the last 2 miles. Oowwwwwwwwwwww!

    Might do some Polytunnel work too if I get the time.

    Okay, off to de-clutter some coffee and my desk. Workedy, work, work. have a great day!

    Pigpen, your room looks fab!

    Mummyof5 - I have the hummingbird book, it is beautiful! Made the lemon cupcakes yesterday and they are delicious

    Pigpen your bedroom is so pretty! I love the wallpaper.

    Rose - hugs hun, hope doing something arty helps a bit.

    Hugs to all of you, especially Lady-L, Toots, Diva, Jinks, FFP, everyone with KH's who are causing trouble, all the poorlies.

    Can I have some Good Exam Vibes for 3.30 today please? Got my french oral and could really do with a nice topic coming up. German is tomorrow at 9.40 so I probably won't be on until after that, and I'll update my list then too.

    Have a nice day everyone

    You post in DT? Now that is a scary place :eek:
    No apology necessary :D Now define the difference between a cynic and an old bird with a long memory :p

    Wish it was warm enough here to get into garden.

    Ug, going to drag myself off this sofa and am going to tidy the table. Have spent half an hour ripping up newspaper which was very theraputic.

    Carol, hope your exam goes well x

    In my HHC I managed to strip the bed and put my and DS2s bedding inWM. It looked like it could be a good drying day but now the sun has gone.

    When I can manage I cut up fabric into strips for rag rugging. I find that therapeutic too, but ripping it would be much better:D

    Carol I will be thinking of you this afternoon. I hope a good topic comes up.

  • Morning all. Had a lovely long 2 hour walk with the dogs today, the weather is gorgeous and we all really enjoyed it.

    Pigpen I love your room.

    Pen pen Could you point me in the direction of the clementine marmalade recipe please. It is probably to advanced for me but we have bags of the things and I don't want to just chuck them.

    LW How are you doing?
    Thank you, I fell alseep on the sofa again after Mr LW left for work, but a bit better than yesterday in that I woke up about 10:00 instead of 10:30. *wry smile*
    Thankfully, a fair bit of today's list is already done, thanks to Mr LW's efforts at the weekend.:A

    Kezlou if it helps, I was scared stupid the first few driving lessons, but after that it got better as I got used to the car, and to seeing other traffic on the roads. What sort of car are you learning in? My instructor had a Mini, and even at 5'2" I felt like I had my knees round my neck!:D (This was back in 1979!:eek:)

    Actually, I shall be getting in a bit of driving tomorrow night; I mentioned a couple of weeks back a pal of Mr LW's has split from his wife; well, we're taking him to the pub tomorrow night. Mr LW will drive there, and I've said I'll drive back so that the two "boys" can have a few jars together. I very rarely drive these days, so it'll be a good opportunity.:o So I hope tomorrow's list isn't too difficult, as I'll need some "spoons" left for the evening.;)<
    Piggers please note!:D:D:D:D:D

    Now, what else was I going to say?....

    Carol good luck with the exams.

    Diva I hope you manage to eat and enjoy a little something today.

    Hoping LadyL isn't feeling too grotty today.

    Oh, btw, I'm another jam-maker. Probably won't be doing any this year though, or at least not much, as we still have a crate and a quarter full of jars still waiting to be used up.:D

    ((((HUGS)))) to those who need them; now I better shift my butt and get the bread rolls on the go or Mr LW will have nothing for lunch tomorrow.:o
