ScarlettsMum

Yesterday was a bit of a write off. Scarlett was grumpy all day so I didn’t get anything done. So today I will do level 1 for yesterday as well as today. We are waiting for our new fridge freezer to be delivered today but I’ve managed the washing shuffle as piggers calls it – washing on, dry washing taken down, wet washing hung up, dry washing put away.
Wednesday ~ Master bedroom
Level One


Declutter the floors and vacuum! - Done

Strip, wash and replace the bedding – Done (did this on Monday)


Thursday ~ Bathroom, WC and Study

Level One
Declutter and vacuum/mop floors in these rooms! - Done


Set pc to declutter cache and defrag - Thanks for the instructions toots I’ve a feeling this could take a long time as we’ve had this computer for three years and never done it! - Done

Scrub the fixtures and fitting in the bathroom/wc. - Done

The fridge freezer has now been delivered. I’ve unpacked it and plugged it in and filled it up from our neighbours’ freezer where we have been storing our food since ours broke. Can you believe they wanted to charge £9.99 to take off the polystyrene and plug it in for me! I know I’m useless at DIY but even I can manage that.

Hope everyone is doing well. I’m afraid I haven’t had time to read all the posts.

Hi Everyone :wave:

I am a bit late but I am in this week, it’s a lot harder now, am only working an extra half hour a day but now need to take an hour for lunch so its an hour later when I am hitting the traffic and its horrendous!!! :eek: Anyway, I have been much to busy exercising trying to drop a dress size for the wedding in Vegas in April to do any housework *ducks to avoid the flying mules*

Not a chance of catching up with the thread so I hope you are all doing good

My DH was away all last weekend at a pool tournament and on Saturday, I painted and wall-papered our room in 8 hours, changing all the bedding and tidying back to spick and span so I was well pleased I don’t know how to put pics on here or I would. Its also DS 4th birthday on Sunday so I imagine we will have a lot of visitors over so I better get my bahookie in gear and get some housework done :eek:

I hope you are all well, grab a hug/stick/spoon as you go past.

Special love and hugs as always to Lady-L, Toots, LW x

What's that smell in here.....smells a bit like pickle...branston pickle! Hope you got it all cleared up Nikki, I hate it when that happens.
Juliejim - hope you're ok xx
Littlemisshappy - brilliant news that you're puddy is doing well. Good results from blood test vibes coming your way.
Shysarah- hope your first day back went ok.

Had loads more to say but i've forgotten everything so hugs and love to anyone who's in need.

Flying hasn't been amazing here. Walked the dogs for a couple of hours, took my parents out for lunch, took the children's world book day vouchers to Waterstones and picked them up one of the £1 books each, going to have a quick 15 minute tidy up now.

Tiny bit tired again today so taking it a bit easy...that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it! xx

Anyone fancy joining me for a HHC @ 6?

ajmoney

Hey guys, I didn't really do what I planned to today. With working strange hours at the beginning of the week the place looked like a bombsite so I have just about managed to recover floors etc from that.

Really excited, it is OHs birthday in a couple of weeks so I have booked a lovely country house hotel a couple of hours away for the weekend. Not sure I can keep it to myself until then which is why I have put it down here.

I've made a plan for tomorrow.

Level 1s in the morning
Hairdresser at lunch
Bake a cake and finish making house nice in afternoon

I am going to do a nice dinner for us tomorrow night. He will think I am going soft, especially after his birthday but I am trying really hard to do things NOT wedding related. Maybe not so far as banning it from our talk but so we don't feel empty when it is over!

I am posting the whole list in case we attempt any cleaning at the weekend, I have deleted what I have done from Level 1
