Hi all.
Hoppy Birdday Greenbee:bdaycake::beer:
ERRRRRGGGHHHHH I need to do Thursday's and Friday's lists today. Mr LW is on early shift tomorrow, working from home, finishing 14:30, so I have about a snowball's chance in hell of getting anything done then. Specially as I need him to take me into town in the afternoon; I have 3 dog-sitting cheques to bank!
We've shifted some of the tasks already (he does the hoovering as the Dyson is too heavy for me):A so I've turned the remaining stuff blue and will edit it off my Word.doc when I've posted here. If any of that makes sense.;)

Clear out a pile on the landing, be that on a table or in a cupboard N/A; I have no piles anywhere!:p
Level Three
Tidy away those homeless clothes and shoes and bags All tidy; the boots we kept on the doormat when Max and Benjy stayed have been put away already. No floordrobe.:p
Wipe over paintwork and window sillsClearout the bedside units.. or the place you stash all your 'stuff'
Extras- Dust and deweb
- Declutter a hotspot N/A – no hotspots!
- Sort through your makeup and bin anything not used for a while.. it breeds bacteria and such nasties! All sorted and tidy
- Sort underwear and get rid of anything unwearable or that you would be ashamed to be run over in.. if the paramedics can't see it noone should!! All sorted and tidy; could use some new, but it'll have to wait for a while yet.:cool:

- Dust all the light fittings
- Chase appointments/put off call and emails/catch up with a friend you have been putting off All up to date as far as I'm aware.
- Check when appointments are due for dentist, opticians, smears etc.. Make notes in diaries/calendars All up to date – awaiting summons from optician, but will have to wait to see Mr LW's February rota before I can make appointment.
I had a really horrid nightmare last night, concerning the funeral, and it's left me quite shaken and upset.:( To be honest I'll be glad when it's all over and done with; it's not helping anyone that it'll be over 3 weeks after Ro's death when she finally gets buried/cremated (I don't know which it is).
Ah well, I shall pour another cup of coffee and see if I can figure out how to dust the light shades without climbing on anything.;)If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

I have just read how productive all you ladies have been this morning and feel a bit guilty. Have done not much at all as it is the first day without kids or husband as home in ages and have had a lazy start. Have done some ebaying and am away to see about getting a print framed. Will catch up big time next week, I promise!:oSealed pot challenge member no 1057
No toiletries in 2011, well shampoo, toothpaste or deodurant!0
