    OK let's see what I can strike

    Monday ~ Living room/family room or other reception room!
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Declutter and vacuum the floors![/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wear something purple light a candle and remember Diva and other people we no longer have with us but carry forever in our hearts
    [/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Vacuum under furniture you can safely move!
    [STRIKE]Dust and deweb.. check those smoke alarms
    [/STRIKE]Straighten a bookcase
    Level Three
    Polish glass, mirrors and pictures
    [STRIKE]Wipe and water the plants
    [/STRIKE]Fill a binbag of clutter and fling it

    I have also folded the TD contents, paired the socks and started the ironing so that I don't merely dump it in the RoD!

    Going to carry on with a HHI and a :coffee: along with more HDD decluttering.

    I shall join in for the last 15 mins too, in having this darn shower.. I got a bit carried away looking for Diva's Aunt Sallys Apple cake as I thought I would make that today, seeing as I have all the ingredients for it and it would be a lovely sentiment for Diva :)

    That's a lovely thought Natty, I'll join you in making that.

    Monday ~ Living room/family room or other reception room! - done

    This is going to look like a pathetic HHC but I have 5 'bookcases' in my livingroom and they all had bits dumped on them so I tackled them all ;)

    Going to get a hot chocolate to soothe my throat. Just took a major coughing fit and its sore now :( Will do another HHC at midday.

  • my HHC over ran a bit :j i did the following

    hole punched and sorted my filing into piles
    filed everything apart from car and wedding stuff
    showered and dressed
    made bed
    morning skincare routine
    fed and watered cat
    opened curtains and window vents to get some fresh air in despite it still blowing a hoolie
    and decluttered living room floor

    it doesnt look like much is crossed off the list, but i will be cracking on in a bit. just going to finish the rest of my filing and clear the coffee table again. i dont have any purple clothes, so am lighting lots of purple tealights this evening once the living room is done, so will score that off my list for now.

    QHC consisted of:-

    Flung cat out, (I made some nice pancakes last night, left them covered over with a tea towel and just discovered she has been in at them I mean what cat eats pancakes?????!!!!!)


    My sisters cat eats pancakes. Odd eh. Mine doesn't but he does love to lick the sweet sickly bit out of a cadburys creme egg if i let him.

    Anyway, have seen the drs had a mini arguement with dwp woman on the phone about medical statements. They didn't request one originally and dr will charge me £75 to write one so they can pay. S0d em.

    Took mum to sainsbugs and she paid for a few bits for me too. Picked up a valentines card for my wife.. ie. for dad to give to mum. Dads idea of shopping is the annual wine shop at xmas.

    Called work and nice occupation health nurse is writing me a statement for my appeal.

    Caught up with the fred.

    Now I guess time for a HHC before lunch.

  • I'm in again.
    Made the family help me do a general tidy on Saturday so I'm at a good place to start the week.
    I had my gall bladder out in July and this weekend I've had hideous bloating and discomfort obviously eaten something that disagrees with my lack of gall bladder. There for the ironing just didn't get done so I must deal with that later.

    Love to all especially those mourning the loss of a dear friend.
