Thursday ~ Bedroom & Landing
Level One
Open the window and air the room Done
Strip off smelly bedding and sling it in the wash.. replace well before bedtime! Done (Saturday as always)
Level Two
Vacuum the mattress and air the duvet Done (see above)
Put the floordrobe in the wardrobe No floordrobe. Oh, alright, there were 2 sarong clips that needed to be put away in the box. *rolleyes*
Find 10 things to get rid of!.. N/A – There ain't no more to get rid of.
Level Three
Vacuum the landing and bedroom.. Done (Mr LW)Sort the airing cupboard/linen store/towels etc.. make it all neat and tidy! Done – it's now kept sorted and tidy as we use things from thereRemove some dust mammoths and wipe over the paintwork All dusted, and all paintwork I can get to wiped down.
Extras- 15 minutes filing! All up to date
- binbag dance Still no need.
- Clean the windows Done
- 15 minutes sort out of the landing gibble.. see if you can find something to rehome! No landing, so no landing gibble, but 15 mins sorting and homing souvenir booklets etc from holiday.
Another easy day for me today, as the bedroom seems to now stay pretty tidy.
Longtermlurker another non-ironer here. Mr LW does his work shirts and trousers for the week and any hankies that have been washed on a Sunday, and if there's anything of mine that wants an iron, he does that too.:A But 90% of our stuff never sees the iron at all. In fact, whenever Piggers puts HHI on the list, I do HHWii instead!
Oh, and on the Fluffy Mules front..... I'm more than willing to give anyone who wants it a boot up the bum with my Goblin Kickers.:p
Apart from getting done what needed doing in the bedroom, I've got another load of washing dried and into the airing cupboard, done a few online surveys, and pre-ordered “Going Postal” on DVD and the forthcoming Terry Pratchett book “I Shall Wear Midnight”. Well, I figured it was good use of the Amazon vouchers I'd earned, as Mr LW will definitely want both of these.:D
Have also decluttered a piece of the carrot'n'orange cake. Naughty I know, but when Mr LW cut a piece to take for his lunch today, he informed me he'd cut a piece for me to have, too. So it'd be churlish not to eat it now, wouldn't it?;)
Pasta with cheese sauce for dins tonight – I'm still erring on the side of soft foods – and I think we'll use up some banananananas for pud.:D
((((HUGS)))) and posi-vibes wherever needed - I suppose I'd better go and declutter some calories on the Wii now.:o
If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
