Thanks for the Heads up on this

No sweat, you need 5 out of 6 receipts (£40 spend), this week being week 1, to qualify for £25 saving on a £40 shop between 16-31st Dec plus £5 saving on a £30 shop 2-30th Jan.

Post arrived with £3 off £20 spend at Mr S for next four weeks as well!

Bit of faffing round, but between Mum and me I reckon we can sort it

Going to do a HHC starting now and then straight out on school run.

Tuesday ~ Kitchen and Dining area
Level One
Sweep and mop the floor Done by Mr LW
Clear and wipe worksurfaces Done
Level Two
Wipe fronts of appliances and units Done
Scrub the oven and grill pan and hob.. soak the burners and knobs so they come up like new Big oven and hob all clean and sparkly
Wipe table and replace cloth if needed Done
Level Three
Clear and wipe window sills Done
Clean the oven and hob.. Unsure why oven/hob is on list twice... but OK, micro/combi all sparkly, too.
Clean and/or replace all the filters and detergent drawers/dispensers.. this includes extractor hoods etc Drawer is done; will have to get Mr LW to get to the WM filter later on, as my hands aren't strong enough to do it. No extractor hood.
Extras

1. wash window sills Done by Mr LW at weekend
2. Thoroughly clean out the cupboard with pans and plastic boxes.. if there is no lid fling it! This will be a weekend task; no way I can undertake either the saucepan cupboard OR the chinaware/plastic boxes cupboard without Mr LW's assistance just now. Some of the contents are Just Too Heavy.:(
3. Clean fluff and webs from extractors/vents N/A – we don't have any
4. If you've not already done so make a christmas meal plan, look up recipes etc and plan a trial run of anything new!!.. Write the appropriate shopping list! N/A

I've worked like a flippin' Trojan today, to get as much of the list done as I can; there's some I'll have to have Mr LW's assistance with, but that can't be helped.:o My poor paws hurt like bu88ery now, though.:( Oh well, it goes with the territory, I guess.:cool:

I've still got the nylon chopping board soaking in sterilising solution in the sink, but that's absolutely the lot then.

Grateful glad the scan went well.... but surely pink and blue combined would make a lovely lilac shade?:D

Pud -- your post made me giggle I now have an image of a woman coated in nicotine patches polishing anything that stays still for more than 2 seconds..

Hee hee, I didn't like to say anything, but I had visions of Pud sticking nicotine patches on the furniture and polishing herslef.... But maybe that's just because that's probably what I'd do in the same circumstances...:rotfl:

Sarah very best of luck for tomorrow; don't fret (that's an order!:D) I'll be sending lots of posi-vibes your way.;)

Someone asked about dusting being on the list (sorry, head's a shed, can't remember who it was:(). As this part of MK is the Dust Bowl of the East Midlands, I always take it as read that I need to put a duster round the day's appointed room. HTH.;)

Dustykitten

Mollina you did great

I finished the family room
Hoovered and mopped downstairs
took the presents down and wrote them in my book so now I know what I've got - not a lot!

Almost time for the school run and then when I get back a pile of magazines to go through to see if any can be recycled as tomorrow is collection day.

Take care all

My head is in absolute turmoil today. Neither of us slept well last night for thinking about OHs job, we were sitting up most of the night talking. I have had a couple of incidents to deal with at work today, one of which has escalated as someone is taking the p**s out of me, I know what I need to do morally and professionally but it will not be popular. Then OH has just informed me of new progressions at work and I really don't know whether I am coming or going although I feel like I am slowly going mad. I am not sure how to clear my head so I can rest later, maybe us talking through everything when OH gets home will help but :mad:

Anyway, list which probably won't get done
