    Good afternoon everyone and Happy Birthday to mumto5 and sockdrawer! :bdaycake:

    Bit of a late start today because we had a man round to fix a floorboard in the bedroom. Luckily he was all done by 10 o'clock so I could get going with my list.

    Wednesday ~ Master bedroom
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Declutter the floors and vacuum!
    Strip, wash and replace the bedding[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Clear the floordrobe/shoes/bags etc that are strewn around
    Make sure any chairs in the room are visible! - don't have any
    Clear and tidy the top of a wardrobe/chest of drawers[/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    Do your pillows need replacing?
    Binbag dance
    HHI.. or half an hour in an area you are trying to hide from.. the airing /linen cupboard maybe? Or under the bed?
    Extras
    [STRIKE]Empty and wash out all bins upstairs - emptied bathroom bin[/STRIKE]
    Clear out a cupboard.. any cupboard.. or a very full drawer I guess
    List 5 things to sell/giveaway
    [STRIKE]February meal planning and finances need doing/updating!!
    - will try to update my budget spreadsheet this afternoon[/STRIKE]

    Also washed the windows and the mirrors on the wardrobe doors. Took the voile curtain down to wash. Still have some dailies to cross off my list too. I keep looking out at the garden and all the jobs that need doing out there - but that's for another day I think!
    First, though, time for a bite to eat. :)
