  • Mornin' all,

    Haven't had chance to post this week, no flying done yesterday, but I did have a fab night out with a friend & DD seeing Jenny Eclair. She was brilliant.
    Off to see Armstrong & Miller tonight, so more laughs.

    My list:
    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining area
    Level One

    Sweep and mop the floor
    Clear and wipe worksurfaces
    Shine the sink!
    Level Two
    Wipe fronts of appliances and units
    Descale iron/kettle/etc
    Wipe table and replace cloth if needed
    Level Three
    Clear and wipe tops of microwave/fridge/freezer
    Check through the jars and cans and see what has been there forever and can be flung or needs to be used this week!!
    Sort baking ingredients.. what needs binning what needs restocking and what can you use up this week?

    Tuesday ~ Bathroom and study..
    Level One

    Declutter floors
    Clean bath, loo, shower.. etc etc.. you get the idea..
    Level Two
    Mop/vacuum floors
    Wipe the desk keyboard monitor etc..
    Pull out the desk and clean under and behind.. :D
    15 minutes filing
    Level Three
    Clean doors
    Empty and wash out bins
    Clean radiators/fires in these rooms

    Will try & fly when I get home from work later this afternoon & post my other 'to do list' which is on my home pc.

    love to all......
  • *Does happy dance* lists finished for today and a couple of my own extras. Bathroom is sparkly, washed down all the walls as the bottom half is tongue and groove so thought I might as well do it all while I was washing the woodwork. Posted something on freecycle, so a bit more clutter gone. Bit more relaxed about DS1's birthday too as some things have just arrived from Amazon and will get the rest this afternoon, then hopefully can wrap it this eve. Just waiting for one more thing from ebay but if it doesn't arrive in time I'll save it for Christmas. I thought the living room was going to be hell this week, but just doing that HH filing has made such a difference even that isn't so overwhelming. Will need to plan my time carefully for when DS1 is in school tomorrow and Friday. Need to do his cake while he's there and some other bits I can't do with him here! Was going to pick up Jake's prescription and get a card while he was at school tomorrow, but I can do that this afternoon now, so can get on with the cake. OH should be home Friday morning and he's actually pretty good at helping when we have visitors coming. It's the rest of the time he can't seem to manage to put his clothes in the basket etc. He'd much rather leave it on the floor next to the basket of course... I'll get him to mop the floors once I've iced the cake and I can S&S everywhere else. And he can pick Ollie up from school so I can get on with other stuff :j

    Going to gather all the carp I need for this afternoon now, then feed Jake at 1 and get the 2 o'clock bus. Not having lunch as treating myself to KFC because I need somewhere to feed the baby at 4 before we come home...well that's my excuse anyway...
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy


    WW 37lb (2 STONE 9lbs! :j ) lost since July, 11tybillion to go...

    How did you get on Sammr85?

    Well my HHC turned into an hour :o but I have cleaned both bathrooms, I also cleaned the shower screen as I didn't get round to it last week. Just need to mop them both.

    I've collected DS from school, made and decluttered lunch, WM & TD on again too.

    Can't decide what to do now, going to put DD2 to bed for an hour or so I think then I might attack my ironing and the PC cupboard! Dunno y we have it really we don't use it or the PC inside!!

    HHC @12.50 anyone???

    determined to b bk at 1.20!! Off I go :)
