Well I got off my bum and have cleaned all downstairs windows inside!

Went for a pre op check today, found out that my op is on the 27th not 23rd which is a pain as I'd made arrangements (will have to re make them damn)

It was a bit of a waste of time really as the nurse didn't tell me anything about the op, just did stuff I could have answered on the phone, weight, height, smoker? illnesses etc. Good job I took a book and there is a Costa Coffee so I had a nice latte while I waited.

OH is sleeping so I am trying to be quiet, going to load WM in a mo, trying not to wake him!!

Hey DIVA!!! I replied to your post on the Daily, but just to reiterate, it's lovely to see you back. You've been missed!

I've finished tidying up the stuff that was in strange places while Penny stayed; kitchen trolley is now back in the kitchen; my jacket is back in the wardrobe in the spare room (was keeping it handy for "walkies"), and the fruit bowl is back on the coffee table (was on my computer desk, as Penny likes to investigate comestibles if they're in reach).

Pip and Pandora will be arriving Friday morning, but they're just here til Monday. I'm hoping Pip's legs are improved (she'd just had cruciate ligament surgery when they were last here) so that we can have some nice walks.;)

I've also decluttered a WHOLE 250 CALORIES on the Wii Fit.:j

MSDiva - lovely to see you post .

Thanks to everyone for the congrats for DD1. I'm so thrilled. I've taken another phone call this afternoon from a car dealership who want her to come for an interview. She's decided to stick with what she has got but has rung them back (good manners are firmly instilled in this household).

I've been a busy girl ironing and am about to begin my 3rd HHI. I've been up to DS1's lair and he has just got dressed. Tidying up is a very slow work in progress for him.

God I hate hoovering the sofas! Was hoping to at least make it worthwhile and find a couple of quid down there but I came out with the grand total of 7p lol
Still it's done now at least :T have also WM & TDx2 today, S&S'd the kitchen, been to the library and tesco, put some more laundry away, as well as most of levels 1, 2 and 3 and a couple of extras, as well as dealt with a toddler and a newborn!

Still want to wipe windows and glass, ornaments etc (dont have many anyway, they don't survive well with a toddler about) in today's areas but I'm gonna have a cuppa and chop up the veg for tonights dinner (hoi sin lamb stir fry - yummmmmm) while the kidlets aren't demanding anything, and need to pack OH a gym bag :rolleyes: for when he gets back from work first.


Oh, and does anyone have any recommendations for cleaning vaseline off a flat screen telly? DS got hold of some and smeared it everywhere a while ago, but I can't get the streaks off the tv :mad:

Hi All
Hope everyone is doing OK? Sending hugs to all who need one - sorry, haven't read through the thread, been v. busy today. DD now has school shoes and plimsolls - that means that all uniform has now been purchased, I've just got to take up/take in clothes and sew in the bloomin' name tags. Think I might need another indelible pen, though.

Right, here's what I've been up to since about midday (out visiting/shopping this morning):

Tuesday - Sitting Room and Hallway
Level One
[STRIKE]Open the windows and turn on some music!
Vacuum floors and sofas!
Declutter the chairs, floor and top of any cupboards![/STRIKE]
Level Two
Vacuum under any furniture you can.. please don't injure yourselves!
Sort out coats, shoes and bags
[STRIKE]Clean any ornaments, glass, mirrors, pictures etc[/STRIKE]
Level Three
Check those smoke alarms!
[STRIKE]Wipe sofas, paintwork and dusty places[/STRIKE]
HHC in the hallway.. vacuum floors/stairs, wipe paintwork, fling that junk mail!.. if there is a charity shop bag.. FILL IT!
Empty and wash out vacuum cleaner.. don't forget filters!
Extras

1. Catch up on some calls/emails
2. Binbag dance
3. Clean switches and sockets
4. [STRIKE]Wipe the windows in these areas[/STRIKE]

I've also shifted a bookcase and chest of drawers - we moved bedrooms [STRIKE]a couple of weeks ago[/STRIKE] the other day and these were the bits of furniture left to move.

DD has Nina and the Neurons on CBeebies...they are explaining how a DW works....might have a watch!

Take care
D
