    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.;)

    Thursday ~ Master Bedroom and Landing!
    Level One

    Strip, wash and replace bedding!
    Done Saturday, as always
    Declutter the floor and vacuum! Done
    Level Two
    Clear the top of at least 1 cupboard, wipe it down and make it look nice!
    Sort out your toiletries and squeeze new ones in to be used.. sort out which presents are to be regifted. N/A; what I have is tidy; no new ones in.:o
    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 sills
    Clearout the bedside units.. or the place you stash all your 'stuff'
    Extras

    1. Dust and deweb
    2. Declutter a hotspot N/A – no hotspots!
    3. Sort through your makeup and bin anything not used for a while.. it breeds bacteria and such nasties! All sorted and tidy
    4. 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:

    Friday ~ Childrens/spare rooms
    Level One
    The most important task first.. make time for yourself.. a haircut, manicure, or just a relaxing bath in peace!
    Strip, wash and replace bedding N/A
    Level Two
    Sort through a box of toys/shelf/cupboard see if you can fit in some of the christmas stash N/A
    Tidy a chest of drawers All tidy
    Vacuum, even if it means kicking all the mess into a corner heap!Done
    Level Three
    Binbag Dance.. fling those broken things and empty packaging!
    Wash windows and sills, and curtains and blinds!
    Make sure games are in boxes and books are straight on shelves Done – they live in the lounge, but are all tidy, in their boxes, and in alphabetical order. (We're rabid PC and console gamers):D
    Extras
    1. Wash stinky pet beds/houses N/A
    2. Dust all the light fittings
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    Please could someone come and take this thundering great BD off my hands btw? The bl00dy thing's had pups!:eek:

    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.;)
  • Floordrobe clearance done, just hung last bit up and the s**ding wardrobe collapsed again. I am so cross. I dont care how in debt we are I am buying a new one now. Grrrrrrr.

    Afternoon all, not caught up yet so I hope everyone's OK.

    I've done the bathroom/toilet today. Also two loads of washing, including the throws from the living room.

    A bit of money sorting out done online. Appointment made for car next month which DH was supposed to be sorting out in December.

    Nearly time to serve up dinner, will do some catching up :)

    Happy Birthday Greenbee :)

    How has it got to 2 o'clock?

    2 local churches emailed in regard to Freja's baptism.. I have a feeling the one I don't want will be more than happy to do it and the one I do want will say no chance! (it is closer and an older building.. these new build things don't 'feel' like a church)

    Off to move a bed by myself.. again..

    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!:o
