    Hi all
    Just updating again...followed my own list today - Wednesday is master bedroom day in our house! Hope everyone is OK? Sending spoons, hugs and kicks up the bum to anyone who needs one.

    OH is going to help me measure the dimensions of the living room in a minute as my Dad has offered to hang lining paper for us. We had hoped to get away with stripping paper, filling and painting, but the walls are in such a state....

    Anyway, best be getting on...
    Take care

    Hi,

    Big hugs LameWolf.

    It looks like i'm better off staying where i am for my Gas & electric. Other companies looked cheaper but the cheaper units & standing charge which i don't pay now made them more expensive over all.

    I'm liking this picking jobs game, thanks msgnomey.:D Next is............Transfer documents from laptop - new Pc.

    Tuesday ~ Living room, Hallway and Porch!

    Level Two
    Organise the CD's/DVD's/VHS tapes.. fling the ones that don't work and make sure they are in the correct boxes! Are there any that can be rehomed?
    wipe sofas
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]
    Wipe radiator and defluff behind (sock on a stick!!)


    [/STRIKE]Extras
    1. [STRIKE]
    2. Wipe lightbulbs and replace with eco-bulbs any dead ones
    3. [/STRIKE][STRIKE]
    4. Have a check to see if you are still with the cheapest supplier for your utilities.. if we can save a few quid over the winter on our fuel then we should!
    5. [/STRIKE]Check when insurance policies are up for renewal and make a note on the calendar to remind yourself, many companies now do not tell you when you are coming to the end of your term.
    My Extras
    Clear outside door area
    Sand & paint bathroom stuff almost done 1 cabinet left
    Sand & paint dresser
    Sand & paint coffee table
    Sand & paint noticeboard
    Ebay
    Back up stuff on old PC
    Transfer laptop stuff onto new Pc and back up

    Finish buying Xmas presents
    Transfer money
    Clean outside hutch
    Tidy garden
    Clean utility room

    Ok that's too much for my little brain, OH is going to have to help me it doesn't seem to be working. Next job is........ Dusting behind radiator, easy peasy now i've found the feather duster in the cupboard under the sink.:D

    Now backing up the old Pc, i can hopefully do this without OH's help as i've done it before.:cool:

    Extras

    3. Organise toiletries and see what needs replacing.. gather all those bottle dribbles into one to use them p. semi done - put baby shampoo into handwash bottle. DS is 7 with v short hair so I daren't think how long said shampoo has been around.

    I'm taking DS swimming tonight so while he's splashing about it will give me a chance to have a look at my OU coursework. Hope to see OH later but he hasn't asked me yet :o oh I am old fashioned!

    Edited to add: I had a text waiting for me asking me to "hang out". :j :heartpuls

    I think I might do a HHC in my bedroom at 2.20 - give it a bit of a kick start in there! Bedding needs changing and I might attempt to find the floor...

    Wish me luck!

    DS1s in a right mood today so hoping school don't have too tricky a day with him

    Ok so far what have I done? Shopping, made a cooked breakfast, chucked out 2 bags of recycling and 1 of general rubbish. Organised one of my groups emails including sorting forwarding things etc for everyone, bit of a fluff on but it's done. MADE MY HAIRDRESSERS APPOINTMENT - yay I remembered, booked for Friday so I can stop trying to see through my fringe. Chucked some stewing steak, green beans, beef stock, carrots and peas into the SC for a casserole - must remember to season it. I need some flour to do dumplings :) as that's what I fancy, must collect the keys for the school too, erm no idea when so I best make a call to see when he'll be there.

    This evening, not a lot now DS2s cubs 'alternative' night has been cancelled, dinner and more flinging as it's bin day tomorrow. If they don't empty it because of it being a foot or so onto the drive as someone moved it heads will roll!!!


    CHORIZO I can't remember who mentioned it but £1.19 in Lidl's for about 300g it's on offer at the mo

    LW ((a hug)) as requested xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
