Righty, plan for this morning.
- Scrub the floors and skirts in my hall.
- Wash the walls in my hall
- tidy up the hall (getting a theme here?)
- Ok basically nuke the hall tidy dust de-clutter etc)... it's not a massive job though with the state of the stairs i suspect it will take an hour or so but that should be a 2nd room off the condemed list.
- Do some paper work i keep putting off
- Spend some time with the OH/kids i might play the wii.
- I don't know all the terms yet but might see if i can do a couple of 15 minutes blizt's on some especially cluttered area's of the living room.
- coffee table piled at least 3ft high with "stuff" (it's up against a wall in a corner and tends to be a premium dumping ground.
- Book shelves 1-2 which no longer hold just books
- TV table, keep the doors closed and it's fine, open them and argh!
- Window sills .. very cluttered looks bad from the outside and inside.

Not sure what you mean...either copy and paste or write your own lists, which is what I do.

Morning all (just)
I lost a post (with lots of hugs, Happy Birthdays etc ) earlier, so decided to get on with some jobs instead.
So far the WM is on, I've collected laundry together and put rubbish/recycling out from various rooms. Also re-homed a few bits and pieces.
DS2 and I will be out in a bit to do food shopping, then more flying. Tea has to be early tonight, as DH is going to a meeting at 6.30. I may be joining him at the pub late tonight, but doing some work for school first. I've already done a bit of planning this morning for the next Germany trip.
Off to remove DS1 from his pit - he's going to an 18th party tonight and has to do some tidying for me first. His stuff (shoes, coats, gibble) is all over the house. :mad:
Must remember to ask NN's son if he'll look after DS2 while I'm out tonight. Not difficult, as he'll be in bed.
Have a good Saturday, everyone. x
ETA Our visitors at work said that our progress is ok! :T0 -

Morning all
Still very windy here but I've risked some washing on the line. Think I'll get the sheet in though as that is fairing the worst.
Had a tidy up in the garage too which has a tendency to become a dumping ground.
A quick HHC now before lunch and then off to squash with DS3.

Love hugs and spoons to everyone
Ellie A, if i didnt have the thread to give me a boot then i wouldnt do anything and trust me my house shows it. i like that every room gets a mention on the list and i try and do bits off it each day. we all struggle more at the begining and the first few weeks are the hardest, but whilst the first few weeks seem to be deep cleaning after that it becomes maintenance and takes half the time.
Happy Birthday MaybeMischeif
