    Morning all!
    Kitchen done
    Bathroom done due to DDs overenthusiastic use of body scrub- that stuff sticks like superglue!
    Washing out in the sunshine!
    Have had a tidy round living room, and a quick hoover and dust, am off to take mother to the garden centre, think I might leave the purse at home!
    Have a good day!
    RIP Iain

    DK We are putting underfloor heating in downstairs bathroom next door and it is on top of concrete. I have found these http://www.underfloorheating-direct.com/heat-store-tile-backer-boards-54-c.asp boards to put under the heating elements.

    toots Thanks, BD is too busy round here. DS2 is doing well thank you. He wants to go away this weekend, I am not so sure. Nothing has happened for almost two weeks so we are beginning to be more confident about his health. Collapsed lungs are 999 jobs though. He wants to go somewhere really remote in North Yorkshire.

    nixie Your baby is so cute.

    pigpen I wish I was nearer you. Then I could send DH to sort your guttering. His biggest problem ATM is that he doesn't seem to have a purpose :( He is brilliant at helping people out.

    courgette well done, you have really caught the flying bug :D

    DH has just brought me a cu of tea so after that I will start on level one.

    Today I need to change energy co for next door
    change business bank accounts over DD especially
    set up DDs for phone and elec
    Make appointment for chiro as can't turn my neck

  • When the weather gets better for drying then washing of curtains, cushion covers, duvets, pillows etc. Maybe carpet cleaning plus sweeping of front step, washing the outside of the front doors/frames

    What are your plans for sorting cupboards, drawers, wardrobes? I've just sorted all the kids clothes so I know what they will need me to buy once the weather gets warmer. Other cupboards etc I do as and when throughout the year.

    Hope that helps a bit

    Yes it does - thank you. Carpet cleaning is a great idea. The one in the LR definitely needs a clean so will add that to the LR list this week when it pops up. Ooh and washing any windows inside that haven't been done in the last couple of weeks. We have the window cleaner coming sometime this week (first time in about a year!) so want them to look nice inside as well.

    So in addition to the daily list I will be tackling all cupboards and drawers in whatever room I'm in. And being as the kitchen has very many more cupboards than any other room in the house I'd better get a move on...
  • Hello. Thank you to the FL crew x
    I wasn't here last week as was half term & also DH was off.
    My house looks like a hovel.
    I need to do the kichen today.
    Bathroom needs a swish.
    Older 2 kids rooms. Well...they need gutting.
    I may be a lurker this week (as usual tbh!) as once I get on here I don;t get off & then nothing gets done!
    Love (((hugs))) & spoons

    Well I've got the washing back in because it keeps drizzling and it's really cold out there, so it's draped round indoors now.
  • Off I go, feel free to join in.

    Hello Flyingfolks,

    I havent caught up with the fred so big loves, hugs n spoons to all of you.

    Am totally fizzy today as the back to work countdown is now very very close. Thursday is coming ever so fast here.

    I need to be very organised and have been doing things over the weekend to organise myself for work.

    My work only clothes are now in my wardrobe and I have all the things planned for the first two days back.. where to go.. when to be there etc. Swipecard and office keys to hand.

    I have also finished up my assignment for OU and got a very nice unit bought and built and now sitting in my hallway.

    Tomorrow morning I have my men coming to do my loft and cavity wall insulation so tomorrow I will spend that time studying. Its not like I can do much when I have men crawling around.

    Anyway.. todays listy .. (Going to try and follow the lists as much as I can as only doing half days at work this week)..
