Afternoon...

Many thanks to all those at FCC for the lists etc, truly grateful xxx

Awww Piggers why did you have to put Living room as first, why couldn't it have been Kitchen cos I am almost done with that one. I cheated and did it yesterday while I was pottering around while DH was watching Man U win and putting together our new bookcases for the bedroom.. Oh well never mind at least I will be ahead of the lists eventually, well that's if I get myself into gear and get off the lappy.. Oh not to worry my battery runs out in an hours time..lol

Monday ~ Living Room, Porch and Hallway
Level One
Declutter floors and sweep/mop/vacuum
Wash windows - darn how did you know my window cleaner has been round this morning..lol
Level Two
Clean doors and door furniture
Level Three
Wipe over sofas
Vacuum under furniture you can move without damaging yourself
Put away the final bits of christmas gibble
Extras

1. Make appointments you have been putting off.. dr, dentist, optician etc.. - made on Saturday just gone for opticians, just dreading the cost for glasses..lol
2. Sort through one hotspot.. see how long you can keep it clear!

Just popping in again, veg peeled for tea, GC fed and eldest gone to half day school, littlest having afternoon sleep. Sorted major hotspot, PC junk cabinet, everything gets thrown in there so needed doing badly. 2 bags of junk now thrown, think that counts as 100 items binned. Just having a coffee then will put clean clothes away. Not even touched upstairs yet but not too bad as bottomed bedrooms last week, need to vac bedrooms again and must get bathroom and toilet bottomed doesn't look too bad as it is kept tidy but i know it needs doing. Will pop in again later. Hugs x

Declutter floors and sweep/mop/vacuum am I alone in vacuuming last? For mesurfaces clearing is a good start, but hoovering the good end...or something that can be done ''manana''.But I do hate to hoover!

Have to empty the hoover before I can do the cleaning, so it looks like a trip to the compost heap next. It's sunny but wild out there! Will try to cover my garlic with netting at the same time: the blackbirds keep digging it up...

Just drinking coffee, then off outside...

Maybemischief and MissHiggerty - Thanks for your posts. I certainly will be taking things steady. I'm much better now but this sort of thing knocks you for six. I just need a few days to get my strength back.
