      Morning All,

      Congratulations to Grateful. Welcome to all Newcomers, don't beat yourself up about not completing any lists, even your own - be realistic and just 15 mins a day more than you used to do, if done regularly, will soon add up to a big difference.

      Monday - Living Room, Hall and Stairs - DONE
      Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
      Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer and dishwasher filters need to be done too!!

      Wednesday - Master Bedroom & Landing - DONE
      Extras
      Clean all the upstairs door frames
      Clean windows in these rooms
      Thursday - Bathroom and Study/Pc Area - DONE
      Extras
      Empty the cupboard and clean it out.. colour ordered bottles inside!
      Grab yourself a toothbrush and scrub the manky bits between the tiles
      Friday - childrens rooms and spare room

      Morning all from HScloud9.gifjust catching up andcoffee1.gif

      Hope the sun shines on Zoelikesjam

      seem to have found my inner paper dealer and have decluttered/sorted loads from the school heap - and checked through the intsruction leaflets while I waited for the PC to warm up. Towels waiting to go on the line - DD's bedding in the WM.

      DS has a mate sleeping over - came and had a bath...DS gave him MY bathsheet (from the cupboard, not one I have used) so I don't know what I am going to dry myself with as I have a rota of two sets - will have to dig deeper in the cupboard...

      Soappie - not seen you around much - you're in my thoughts.

      have to go into work for an IEP meeting - head said he DIDN'T need me there, SENCO said she wanted us all there - I made sure I had a formal request before I agreed to attend - not least because that's close on an hour lost just getting there and back. And I will be owed time off:D

      Not seeing OH until Sunday:o but we're planning a long day/evening together - and I have asked him to take me to see Toy Story 3 at the pictures:rotfl: sometime. This is, I suppose, the downside of hooking up with someone living 50 miles away... Mind you since AF is making her imminent arrival fairly obviousHShormones.gif this is probably a good thing;) and I can get to the bottom of the jobs I MUST do before Monday so not as bleak as it seems!HScloud9.gif

      Hello noobieswelcome2.gif

      Start with level 1 and add more jobs/levels week by week. It gets easier... and AnWsMum's patented dot-to-dot method is excellent for serious clutter removal!

      (Maybe it's time for Toots/Substitoots/Pigpen to add instructions for this to post 1 or 2?)

      No Piggers?

      oooooooo

      'breathe a-n-d PUSH'

      (that could be an erroneous instruction as I have no personal experience of labour+delivery :rotfl:)

      DD1's bedding on line, washload no2 nearing completion.

      DD1 breakfasted - it is way too early for her - taxi coming in an hour and a half.

      Tonights tea for the mob is bubbling in the slow cooker - I feel quite virtuous!

      DS is working 7.45 till 2pm - and has promised to run me to Morrisons later!
