  • OK have found my previous list and checked out Pigger's Bedroom list from Tuesday.

    Am going a bit 'off piste' again - must clean the bedroom rather than tidy/sort, as things are pretty good in there, gibble-wise (but the dust is thick again...:o).

    So my list for today:

    Our bedroom (1hr)
    [STRIKE]- Change bed[/STRIKE] done at weekend
    - Tidy and put everything away ; clear the floor; hang the clothes
    - Put washing on for o/night load
    - Hoover high beams, light, lampshades, top of wardrobe
    - Hoover the curtains/curtain poles
    - Sticky mitt the surfaces incl sidetables, chest of drawers, table and chairs
    - Wipe sticky marks off doors, radiators, door-frames and light switches
    - Hoover the skirting boards and edges with nozzle
    - Hoover the floor
    Gardening (1hr): weeding at the front of the house

    Cooking/wiping round kitchen (2hrs): stew for tonight; cake for pud

    Wash hair

    School run

    Albatross List for the week:
    * Piano tuner - arrange (he talks for ages and ages :o)
    * Check Websaver gas rates are still OK for us
    * School Gift Wrap order - [STRIKE]means going through the wrapping paper drawer... :eek:[/STRIKE] looked through the drawer, but need to place order now...
    * Autoglass chip-mending for car windscreen?
    [STRIKE]* Write difficult letter to D.L. and post it :o[/STRIKE]
    * Savings with DH - ours; DD's (means dealing with the Halifax :eek:) - both on their way, but not as easy as all that (of course)
    [STRIKE]* Do my income tax form on-line [/STRIKE]YAY!!!!!!! :T:T:T
    [STRIKE]* Orchestra form to take next week (before they throw DD out![/STRIKE]:o)
    *[STRIKE] Finally sort out Broadband connection[/STRIKE] YAY!!!!!!! :T:T:T New Home Hub installed, and it works - and it was free!
    * Copy DD's music recordings for relatives (recorded August... and promised then :o)
    [STRIKE]* Finances for Sept; budget for Oct [/STRIKE]

    Golly - busy day again. Must get on - I'll join in the HHC already started at 10:00, but go on till 11:00am

    Did my HHC in my bedroom - sorting out a box of gibble - but then I've left the contents strewn on my bed as DS shouted me because he was cold. He's now dosed up again whith his gressing gown on and curled up under his quilt as his teeth were chattering and he's gone really pale again.

    Sockdrawer - thanks for reminding me to plant garlic! We're still eating this years crop and it's delicious.

    All I've done so far is go and buy a long grey cardigan, put on a wash and sort clinic for work. Serious case of CBA!

    My plan today is to clean the bathroom and then find homes for all those things that start to clutter the place up again when your back is turned. I'm setting myself a challenge to rehome 100 things. It shouldn't be difficult....there are lots of 'bits' lurking!

    Speak later xx
