Morning lovely peeps:j

If anyone has any spare spoons I'd love some - took my 23mo little pickle swimming last night and wasn't plagued with sciatica until this morning but now it's back with a vengeance:mad:

Tuesday ~ Living room, Hallway, Stairs
Level One
remove clutter from floors, chairs and fireplace still clutter free from the weekend and no hot spots have formed!
Open the windows and let in some fresh air will be dark when I get home but I promise the doors and windows will be open tomorrow
Level Two
Vacuum floors and sofas will do this again tomorrow morning
Wipe and water neglected plants no plants in these areas
Dust those flat fluffy surfaces will do tomorrow morning
Level Three
Vacuum under the furniture you can move can move sofas and pickle's toy box so will do this tomorrow morning
Clean windows, pictures, mirrors etc. will clean and polish tomorrow morning
Change any lightbulbs that need doing! will buy some new lightbulbs and change the living room light
Vacuum hall and stairs.. all the way up to the top!!!!!will do this again tomorrow morning

Extras

• Wipe woodwork in the hall and stairs did on saturday & wipe front door.. inside and out! I used the mop and gave the outside a quick flick on Saturday but will do it again tomorrow with a little elbow grease :rotfl:
• Wash any nets/curtains that need cleaning.. put up fresh ones!
• Clean out your handbag.. how many receipts?? little pickle cleaned out my handbag for me
• 15 minutes filing do I have to? Can I ignore it for a little while?

I'm also going to try to spend 30 minutes in the master bedroom sorting detritus from there. I need to do some major decluttering in there and hopefully find space for a moses basket / cradle / cot for when #2 arrives in July.

Hugs to all who need them.

Cat.xx

Morning all

I did today's list yesterday (as well as the kitchen/diner). Today I've got two loads of washing out on the line, including throws from the living room. I've started packing another box of stuff from the kitchen. Moved holiday stuff from top of wardrobe in spare room as we're going to need to move this wardrobe for the electrician to take up the floorboards in there. Feel like there's too much to think about.

Tuesdays list done but I've still got some bits of tootling I need to do like WM load of towel,empty the dishwasher and give the sink a good clean but my main task is to keep dogbot still as otherwise the swelling will never go down.

Done everything on today's list; just a few of my own things to do (appointments etc). Just decluttering cracked black pepper Ryvitas and Philly - lovely then off to walk the dog.

Jinky and Cat, so sorry you are both suffering - big hugs and spoons to both of you and anyone else who may need it too.

TOP TIP - regularly check nothing is stuck in your hoovers beater bar

Mine has now got a burnt out beater belt cause i didnt check.

Oh well.. House is relatively tidy so had enough now
