Evening,
Have only done the basic today. Busy day at work then had to go out tonight.
Just going to change the cat litter then bed.

Will look at oven liners too - thanks ladies

Level One - Done!:j
Level Two - Done except for tile scrubbing - the only advantage of having a half finished kitchen/diner is that the tiles are still in their boxes and in no need of a clean!
Level Three - Done...
Clear and wipe window sills
Wipe table and replace cloth if necessary

Really wanted to muck out the fridge but ran out of time
Really didn't want to muck out the oven (cremated a lasagne on the bottom of it some time ago and it hasn't looked the same since) so didn't (but DH did do the hob)
Cleaned a couple of small appliances - but not the microwave as cleaning that is not going to be a quick job...!
Tighten and wobbly pan handles!! DH did this recently.

So not too bad. Was feeling peeved about not doing the fridge but seeing what I have done in not very much time I'm feeling better now. Maybe I'll tackle that at the weekend.

Oh, and love the idea of the oven liner. - great tip - thanks!

Goodnight everyone...

Hi all. Well today i have absolutely blitzed my kids room....took........4.5hours:eek::eek: but got rid of loads of crap. Put stuff in see through boxes so there is no excuse..everything has a home. So now need to apply this to the rest of the house! Will swap kids room day for kitchen as want to follow lists properly. It does make life easier. Am on a crusade at the moment to sort my life out. New year, new me....actually the old me was fine so hopefully she'll be back!

Hope everyone well. Really have not time to catch up with thread....nothing would get done!! xxx:rotfl:

A question, and apologies if this has been answered loads of times before, but didn't there used to be stars allocated? Has this changed? Not at all bothered, but I'm just curious

Things have got worse with OH so I don't think I'll be around much for a while. I intend to wallow in self pity and descend into squalor for a bit...

I disagree - I think there is no reason for you to feel sorry for yourself! Like Valli has said, he had the issues. I think you need to fail at the self pity and spend time pampering yourself! Clean the bathroom, lock yourself in there with a nice glass of wine, beautiful smelly lotions and potions, lots of bubbles and some chocolate... or whatever else floats your boat

Stuff the rest of the house and your tax return can wait. Youll be so busy pampering yourself, you wont have time to worry about him or anything else and when youve finished, you may feel sorry for yourself again, but at least you will be beautified.

Hugs hun, and you know where we are...

Hugs my dear.
I can't improve on what Jo said.

Please post so we know you are OK.

[STRIKE]Sweep [/STRIKE]and mop floors - not mopped - mebbe tomorrow - it's a hands and knees job
[STRIKE]Declutter and wipe worksurfaces[/STRIKE]
Level Two
[STRIKE]Wipe ALL large appliances[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Wipe and replace all small appliances[/STRIKE]
Scrub tiles.. and grout.. No tiles here so in my dozy state I read 'grout' as a verb not a noun like " How does one grout?"
[STRIKE]Shine sink and taps[/STRIKE]
Level Three
Throw away 10 items you have kept for ages but have absolutely no use for!.. did before xmas :j
[STRIKE]Clear and wipe window sills[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Wipe table and replace cloth if necessary[/STRIKE]
Wash cover from ironing board - since I got sick of ironing piles of stuff that ended up on the floor in a crumpled heap, I withdrew my services and it's every man for himself now - works for me

Extras
[STRIKE]Muck out the fridge..[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Muck out the[/STRIKE] oven and [STRIKE]hob[/STRIKE] Oven is a scary place! I was thinking this afternoon about laying foil or something in the bottom so thanks for the oven discussion and link to Lakeland earlier! Might use the germ card to get someone else to clean it out though haha...
[STRIKE]Muck out the microwave.. or other small appliance..[/STRIKE]
Tighten and wobbly pan handles!! None but my steel pans need a good scrub - they're a work in progress - not sure what looks worse half-scrubbed (shows up what lazy s*ds we were letting them get like that) or not scrubbed at all (they look like they're supposed to be that colour from a distance?!?)

Not bad for a late start. Went for a walk on the beach today which cleared some cobwebs so exercise was done! Can't believe how fast this thread moves though - scared I'm going to miss thanking someone or miss a good tip - how do you keep up? One of the things that steals my time is getting lost on the web so not sure I'll be able to keep up with everything all the time...

Thanks for the message Tootifrutti

We did have stars for quite a long while. A great motivator for some but it created a lot of extra work for Toots. Once in a blue moon Toots throws a random week of stars out there!

We don't! Or the truer answer is probably an awful lot of skimming goes on. No one expects you to keep up and neither will anyone think you rude if you post and run. Some people use catching up as a treat for when they have done a job on the list they don't like the look of. Me, I'm just lazy :rotfl:

I've spent houors today setting up my new laptop and trying to sort out Miss A's pc, but I have done some flying inbetween times so all is not lost.
