Reporting back at last from my whole hour challenge....

Thursday - Master bedroom & landing
Level One
[STRIKE]Strip and wash sheets
Vacuum and turn mattress before replacing clean sheets[/STRIKE] Done at weekend
Level Two
[STRIKE]15 minutes floordrobe clearance
Wash windows[/STRIKE] and mirrors, and retrieved the duster from the garden path when I dropped it out of the window by mistake....:o
Vacuum floors
Level Three
Dust and deweb
Wipe paintwork
[STRIKE]Sort through a cupboard.. make it neat and tidy and get rid of what you no longer wear/need/use[/STRIKE] Didn't quite do this - sorted a heap of clothes belonging to DD instead which were sitting in the corner of my room. Put some into charity bags; some for textile bins; a few bits for e-Bay
Extras
[STRIKE]Binbag dance
Collect all the dirty laundry from upstairs! [/STRIKE]

Plus I:
* Emptied the airing cupboard, folded and put all the clothes away
* Hung up my quilt cover and sheet which were washed overnight
* Planted a small fern, which I bought yesterday, in a shady border outside
* Sorted out the food for tonight; defrosted pastry in the fridge for tomorrow
and, since the end of the whole hour challenge, I've done the school run and cello pick-up.

Am now enjoying a cup of tea and a sit-down before preparing the meal.

Not too bad - and I'll finish off the room tomorrow. I've carried the hoover upstairs ready.

Love and hugs to all who need them

Hardly done anything, as been a bit indisposed with my arm this week! Will be aiming to catch up over the weekend! (Usually I go away at the weekend, but not this time.) Probably only be level one/two though!

Well i have wasted too much time on the phone with BT! I did do list for all birthdays til x-mas, mopped the floors and polished at the same time. Also wasted time with a plumber who was useless so my dads guy coming out tomorrow. Phoned the ex's dad. Done all washing, ordered ballet shoes, and changed a standing order. Downstairs is immaculate but need to quickly hoover stairs, landing and kids rooms before i put them to bed. Thanks all for good wishes about keys. xxx

had to get up early as I left the house at 8.45 - met up with my friend C and she took us to another town up the coast and we took an elderly lady out to lunch for her 91st birthday - we both worked with her and have kept up - the regulars might remember I was at her 90th party last year.

its a long day but it was ok. I am really tired though.

t'was fine thanks and as the nurse said go home and put your feet up for half an hour for being so good I came home made a cuppa and sat on the sunlounger planning which fruit bushes and trees I could fit in with my favourite Mr Titchmarsh for company

Kids all fed, pigs in blankets so happy faces all round.

DS2's squash racket ordered with quidco and voucher codes and shopping around I managed to get it £14 cheaper (not including quidco as I don't have that yet;))

I need to do my leccy switching an then put the dw on and get DS1 to help pick some plums.

So I'm not supposed to throw the conkers at the spiders then *confused smilie* Maybe that's where I'm going wrong with mothballs; the blimmin moths don't stay still enough for me to get a good aim

Can a clever flylady help me with some maths...

My digital scale has broken (DS1 'played' with it) and is weighing a half ounce box of raisins as 1 1/4 ounces. So, assuming 1oz=2 1/2oz on my scale, if I need 8oz of something for a recipe I should times that by 2 1/2 so weigh out 20oz by my scale? I dont think the recipe needs to be terribly accurate, it's twinks not souffle or anything lol

You need GnB for this, but yes...if it is broken in a linear way:rotfl:
