    Tip run done, meds lifted, ink for printer bought, livingroom floor cleared and dinner on. I'm starving...

    I'll get the livingroom list done after dinner.

    Carsberggal, big hugs, i hope the next op goes well and i'm sending loads of healing vibes.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    1. Clean light shades/fittings and lamps I'm not very good at this - I just seem to make them worse. What's the best way to get the dust off material type lampshades?
    The easiest way I've found is stand on the step stool and use a clothes brush; one of those ones that you brush the opposite way to get the dirt off it when you've finished.

    Carlsberg.. DD and sproggit will be fine.. I bled heaps at the end with DD1 (she was born at 31 weeks) It is most common for no actual reason to be found for it and often it can just be the cervix bleeding due to the high amount of blood running through it.. and you can get a kind varicose veins on the cervix too which can bleed. So long as there is not massive amounts of blood it is usually just nothnig interesting. Though she really shouldn't be shifting furniture about.. that doesn't help :p

    I have the pool on ebay and some numpty just asked if they could come round and look at it.. erm.. no.. it is rolled up in a ball in the shed.. stupid people.. I can't even shift it being a feeble weeble! Twit asked if it was up.. !!!!!!?!?!.. Is it me or are some people exceptionally dim?

    Definitely in this week. Got a work colleague staying over tomorrow night - so will have to make sure the spare room is tip top this evening.

    Kippers for tea! (I had a mad craving for them earlier...::shruggy smilie::)

    Right - off to get started!

    Monday ~ Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Level 1
    Vacuum floors and sofas

    Wipe over sticky sofas.
    Level 2
    Dusting, even if around everything
    Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
    Clean mirrors and other glass things that are meant to be shiny!

    Level 3
    Wipe paintworks and any grubby marks off walls etc

    Clean any fluffy electricals and defluff behind the radiators!
    Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
