    1. Medical box - restock and inventory. I'm sure a lot of us will have run out of the vitals the last few months!

    i will try tomorrow to at least do the level ones.... i am realizing what i have been doing lurking on this thread over the years - i cross of the things i do routinely - eg sweep, keep up with basic life.... and i cross them off - but i avoid the deep cleaning stuff that is sometimes at level 1 eg wash windows... so my new resolution is to do the level ones each day even if i dont like them.... see i knew posting and crossing of my list in public would help me eventually...

    now to see if i can actually do level ones each day.... not a good day to start tomorrow as am out at the farm all day and then kids have swimming lessons in evening and it is DH's birthday....

    but i will try

  • Good evening everyone :beer:

    Please can I make a small plea :o Due to other things going on, it's just possible that this thread may come under some scrutiny in the near future. If we want to keep it going, please can posts contain something on the topic of Flying :D

    Thanking you :A

    I've tidied up the house after work :T DH is off to Munich in the morning, so he's packed his bag (with the clothes I laundered and ironed yesterday :) ).

    Just going to find a list .....

    Having read what traumas some people on this forum are going through, I decided today I have no excuse for being a slob. And thanks so much to everyone for this forum - it's a godsend. I'm loving the lists, loving the forum and loving my (slowly emerging) clean, tidy home. Today...

    Level One - Done!:j
    Level Two - Done!:j

    Level Three
    Tidy, clear and wipe the top of the fridge and freezer - Both undercounter so covered by sorting worktop!
    Clean one small appliance thoroughly.. microwave, kettle, iron, - SC but it still doesn't look very good - any suggestions anyone?
    Clean appliance filters.. WM, DW, Kettle, Vacuum cleaner.. cooker hood.. - What are they then?

    Extras
    1. Sharpen knives - already sharp
    2. Order and organise the spices and sauces - already organised.
    3. Sort the cutlery drawer - sorted after inward deep groan of despair - can't believe I've been putting clean cutlery in there - looks lovely now.
    4. Medical box - restock and inventory. I'm sure a lot of us will have run out of the vitals the last few months! - Have plenty of ibuprofen which is good enough for me!
    I've actually started to enjoy myself - is this normal or should I be seeking professional help??
