    PenPen, are you sure you want to name your bees? There are 50,000 of them in the average hive at this time of year, after all - and that is a lot of girl's names to think up :D
    well at least that'll keep her out of trouble for a while...

    Boo!

    I'm still alive but just extremely busy.

    Chicks arrive on Thursday (two of them) - the day I have to go to London for a meeting! But DS will bring them home, settle them in to the brooder I've spent this afternoon sorting out and then stop until I get home from the smoke (DD is booked wall to wall on that day and evening)

    BB is fine and sends her love.

    Hope all are well

    I have done loads better than expected today (based on my level one only list), deadline of someone coming to stay really helps drag you out of CHAOS! Seem to really be getting into the routine of doing a little bit every day now, DH even asked what was on the list today and did what I asked, a little thing in life but makes me feel so much happier. After just a few weeks of properly trying to fly it's so true it makes a massive difference, so thanks again all for the tips,lists and support.

    So here's my list:

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One

    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
    Empty the Pan cupboard!! Sort those oven trays, tighten handles on pans. [/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop floors
    [STRIKE]Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there!
    Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary) [/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round.. lightshades need doing![/STRIKE]
    Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
    Oven and hob degrotting!
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..

    Extras
    1. Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms, and any other glass!
    2. Dust/clean/wash any blinds or [STRIKE]curtains[/STRIKE]
    3. HHI .. bit of a catch up!!
    4. Sort your drawer of large cutlery things.. slotted spoons, spatulas.. clean out the drawer, flin the things you don't need/use and make it all neat and tidy!
    Also to do:

    [STRIKE]Empty DW
    Washing up
    Water plants
    Bins in[/STRIKE]
    HHI
    Nighttime routines - lunches, clothes, shower

    Only thing I;m disappointed about not doing is the HHI, but I need something decent on TV for that!!!

    Well done Boddy on almost becoming MF :T
    Hope everyone's well.

    Also had a very difficult day at work, made bread and baked cakes, sorted out paperwork and did Tax credit forms and a quick run round Tesco for pack lunch stuff.
