    Tuesday ~ Hall, Stairs and Landing! Ooh, this'll be good – we don't have any stairs or landing! :p
    Level One
    Declutter the floors and vacuum them. Kept decluttered at all times (it's narrow!) Vacuumed by Mr LW:A
    Tidy everything you can see when the front door is open! Done
    Level Two
    Dust and deweb.. don't forget lightbulbs and shades! Done – from ground level, with the duster-onna-stick. Also quickly dusted round other rooms to get rid of wood dust deposits.:o
    Scrub front door.. inside and out! Mr LW did outside at the weekend (phew! I don't like being out the front on my own:eek:) Inside all done; not too bad to do as it's a double-glazed unit.
    Wash any curtains/draught excluders and doormats! Deferred til after the woodworking's finished – waste of time with all that wood dust. We have 2 and a bit doors to go, the “bit” being advanced today in that I've varnished the 2nd side. Once dry, it'll be ready to hang, and we'll have a lounge door again!:T
    Level Three
    Empty and declutter the cupboard under the stairs.. you do not need the junk that has been in there for a million years! Hall cupboard all tidy and decluttered;:o Mr LW put up clips to hold things like the broom, duster-onna-stick, my folding walking sticks and suchlike, ages ago, so it's easy to keep tidy.
    Empty Vacuum cleaner, wash filters and clean brushes once you have finished vaccing.. leave to fully dry before rebuilding machine! Done Saturday by Mr LW
    Extras
    1. Wash windows and nets/blinds Windows done; no nets or blinds
    2. Wipe and water and furry plants N/A
    3. Wipe paintwork and door knobs Done
    4. Sort coats and bags and shoes N/A – they all live tidily in wardrobes and boot rack. On the bags front, Mr LW has a laptop bag and a briefcase, both of which are at work with him, and I have but one handbag!;)
    All done as best I can, today. But I'm not a happy Wolfie; despite not doing any clambering about on step stools and such like, I've still managed to take a fall today.:mad: No idea what happened, one minute I was walking across the lounge, the next I was on the deck!:think: Dunno what's going on.

    Dippypud are you OK mate? I agree a lie down is the best thing, but I hope you're not coming down with something.

    Shysarah if it helps at all, I'll be with you in spirit tomorrow. Good on your Mum for going with you.

    Poohbear get those wrist supports ordered while it's fresh in your mind. Oh and tell the woofer I said he/she's to leave them alone.:D

    Going to have a time out and nurse my wounded pride, not to mention my knees (bruised) and back (jarred up) now.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Thought I best pop in so you know I'm still doing lots of somethings. I've been reading a lot of my study books which is taking much of my spare time this week, I've not used the laptop since Wednesday in the vain hope it'll reduce my 'sitting on bum' time but I will need to tonight as I have an oodle of things to update on the website

    Hall done, downstairs loo done as that has coats etc in too, stairs done, top landing almost done

    Hopefully catch up with you all later on, I'm off for a cat nap before making tea as DP is home I may aswell take advantage of because I think DS1 is coming down with a bug, hugs for you all xxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
