love, hugs and spoons to those in need.

i didnt manage to get up at a reasonable time so i think if i am tired and have insomnia tonight im just going to pull an all nighter so that tomorrow night i go to bed at a reasonable time.

i actually need to get my house ship shape this week as im homeward bound at the weekend to do wedding rubbish, but need to have it still messy enough that on wednesday when my manager comes to visit that he sees how messy it is, as so many people are telling me that i cant have a clean house with a bad back!

the kitchen can be cleaned, but the living room and hall are going to have to stay mucky till wednesday afternoon so depending on the lists will substitute the downstairs rooms for upstairs.

my list

shredding
filing
pack clothes
pack wedding shoes
Monday ~ Kitchen, Utility and Dining areas
Level One
Sweep and mop floors - cant hoover till later because of the time, then floors being steam cleaned
Level Two
Scrub tiles.. and grout.. - being steam cleaned this afternnon
Shine sink and taps - cant do till pots have drip dried as cant be bothered drying up
Level Three
Throw away 10 items you have kept for ages but have absolutely no use for!.. - bread maker being decluttered but thats it!
Extras
Muck out the fridge.. - just dont want to do
Muck out the oven and hob - being steam cleaned at some point this afternoon
Muck out the microwave.. or other small appliance.. also being steam cleaned at some point this afternoon

Ahem. So is DS1's next lesson "how to use the washer";)

We are still working on moving the clothes from the floor to the washing basket but as they don't get washed unless that happens it is sinking in. Being a bit OCD about what goes into each wash I'm happy to put it on, he can and does load and unload DW:D

We get a decision on our business loan application tomorrow and I am excited and worried at the same time

Fingers crossed for you

Lil_me hugs for DS1 and I hope the meeting is fruitful and not too sad

Quillion healing vibes for you

Doing quite well, paperwork next and a cuppa.

I think showering myself and the kitchen with water got me going this morning :eek: (Quickly followed by tipping sugar all over the work top I'd just de-cluttered, I'm on one :rotfl:)
See what makes me think there's something up is I've just been up and cleaned the bathroom?? Including scrubbing off the limescale :eek: and the teeny creases inside the shower screen? Put all the bits away in the new storage solution and found somewhere for the spare bog rolls.
And I've done the lounge, de-cluttered. Hoovered. Mopped. Dusted. cleaned the sofa (we no longer look like a husky exploded)

I mean it wasnt as if the kitchen wasnt bad enough, there was cake, flapjacks and bread made in there yesterday.

I've even written the letter I needed to write.
I dont have to do DH shirts, he's WFH the rest of the week :j
I guess I get to move on to the laundry?? Although part of me thinks I've done plenty already :rotfl:

Having missed posting last week I am pleased to report that the house is staying quite neat and tidy! Clearly the bug has bitten as my lovely husband even cleaned out the garage yesterday! It was so full of rubbish and empty boxes (from our wedding in June!!!) that you could hardly get to the spare freezer! We could rent out the space as a spare bedroom now! giggle

Afternoon Ladies

In again this week, and am feeling much more positive about house so thanks to FCC for the lists.

The plan of action for this week is to continue in much the same way as last weeks list. So today, i will continue with a declutter/bin bag dance/organise the kitchen/dining area.

If i manage any of the list I'll let you know - keeps me on track of the progress i've made.

So far today i have managed,

bins emptied & put out for collection
recycling put out for collection
All equipment/clothing/notes/subs for various after school clubs prep for whole week - created a launch pad in hall last week, as was going mad trying to find/remeber stuff that was needed. By end of week was not so frazzled as all was prepared. Hopefully this week will go better
organize my Avon business - this has been driving me made for months as it seemed to take over the whole house, now its in order i can hopefully build this into a full time business, & therefore work from home
Sort avon delivery - just need to drop of to customers with latest book, which will do from 2pm onwards on route to collect girlies from school
WM x1 - second load in
TD x1 - just need to empty & fold clothes, ready for girls to put away when they get home
Decluttered 2 bags & 1 box - will drop off to charity shop on way out

Ok so haven't touched list yet but have achieved more than i thought. Have now decluttered lunch & 2 coffees whilst catching up here.

So HHC session anyone?

Afternoon

Spent most of the morning with Dad's help trying to get router working which it is BUT now need a pci card for the desktop so I can keep that online! At the moment it is either online with the laptop and the router or online wired with the pc to access email!

There is a dongle in Miss's A's (Dad's old pc) desktop so she can get on the net. Spent ages d/ling a/v which has almost used all the memory capacity so will have to wait and see how that pans out.

Lunch now as I am starving.

Flying wise I have had the wm and TD on a couple of time for both.

hitting the kitchen with avengance today done the bottom half of the pan / bakeware / stuff cupboard while the oven bottom enamel thing and shelf soak in bio wash powder, inside oven door is covered in cleaning stuff too. i can't believe that i cleaned the ground in grime off the cupboard with just lemon juice and washing up liquid when its dry i'll line the shelf with some wallpaper to make it easier to keep clean. also decluttered a carrier bag of rubbish from pan cupboard. wheelie bin is full with a week to go though

Pop over to the Techie forum. They are great at getting the best out of pcs - I'm pretty sure the a/v shouldn't be using that much of the memory.
