  • Back - a little later than planned, but pleased with what I've done in just over 1hr:

    Today's jobs: some of the kitchen jobs (and a few of my own)

    [STRIKE]Sweep and mop the floor
    Clear and wipe worksurfaces
    [/STRIKE]
    Shine the sink
    [STRIKE]Hang up the washing and clear the airing cupboard
    Empty dishwasher
    Make spare ribs
    [/STRIKE]
    Wipe fronts of appliances and units, [STRIKE]and the bins[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wipe table and replace cloth if needed[/STRIKE] and polished with beeswax polish ...mmmmmm....
    [STRIKE]Wash the windows[/STRIKE]

    1 hour gardening: weeding the front border and pruning and planting bulbs


    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[/STRIKE] :o
    * 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)
    * Finally sort out Broadband connection - have yelled lots at BT for all the missed appointments; have managed eventually to get an engineer; have got a new HomeHub for free and have got £20 from them for the missed apptments. :T Now just have to install the new HomeHub when it arrives, and hope it works.....
    * Copy DD's music recordings for relatives (recorded August... and promised then :o)
    * Finances for Sept; budget for Oct :eek:

    Oh heck!

    Best get going - 10:15am - 11:15am blitz, anyone (or any part thereof!?!)

    This is my nemesis as well! Perhaps we should make a pact to sort them once and for all ;)

    I don't have a dining room as such but my dining table in the kitchen is my dining table of doom. Every week I mean to clear the table and every week, it never happens.:(

    Morning all and it's lovely and sunny and warm. Lots of washing out on the line ;)

    I've done the kitchen/diner and also the living room and hallway (includes computer desk) and stairs. I'm still off work this week and I'd like a couple of days with just basic housework so I've doubled up today.

    My Christmas cake is in the oven and it smells lovely. I'm like the Bisto kid here!

    Not caught up yet so I hope everyone's OK especially Toots and LL. Well done to wilf's DS. Hope you're having a nice "week off" lonewolf:)
  • Bit late, but off I go for another stint on the kitchen.... Should finish quite easily in 30mins, then out for a spot in the garden, methinks...
