Good morning everyone. I am enjoying reading everyone's posts and the flying spirit!
I have managed all the lists for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday bar the present stash and cleaning the keyboard (don't want to clean it whilst the computer is on and it never seems to be off!:p). Master bedroom seems sooo much better now, I just have two big jobs to tackle: the bookcases (4) and piles of books (needs stripping off, major clean behind etc) and the wardrobe (can barely close the door, eek). I did under the bed and behind the desk last week, and my big job this week was the window area (spent about 45mins on it). Don't know whether to keep to the plan of one major per week to avoid burn out. Not sure what to do as I am guesstimating 3hours per job and my 3 year old must be bored of all the cleaning by now:D, although I did find him polishing the sink taps yesterday after washing his hands! Think I'll make a cup of coffee and think about it.:cool:

Today I will be doing the grand total of NOTHING. I am exhausted, sore, in pain and grumpy. So, I will cheer you all on from the side lines and bore you with my lengthy posts.

So sorry you are feeling so bad sarah but very pleased you are doing nothing today.
In my HHC I:
Stripped bed, bedding now in WM
S & S’d living room
S & S’d bathroom
Vacuumed downstairs i.e. living room, hallway, bathroom, dining room and study.
S&S study, wiped over PC desk
Just going to have a bit of a break and then start the bedroom
Sooooooooooooooo sorry I didn't post this update but just as I was about to click "Submit Reply" the post lady arrived and brought DH's blue badge. So of course he had to read everything, sort papers out, order cover etc.
Anyway normality???????????? has now been restored:rotfl:
Just going to have a spot of lunch and then we might go into town:rotfl::rotfl:
