    I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm off list, I'm pressing on down stairs. Its easier for me to do the whole level of a house, rather than worrying about hoover mountaineering. I've made a good start in the kitchen and I'm waiting for the water to heat up before starting again. :)

    Morning

    2x wm done, living room & kitchen window cleaned, breakfast cleared etc. I have set a timer for some sterilising of cups and it is reminding me how long I'm on computer too. May use it so I don't lose myself ion cyberspace in future.

    Just going to do car tax then am off to see my Mum. Wonder where the sat nav will send me this time?

    Ok then so another shameful start to the week :o In my defence my food shopping got delivered and I had to put it all away, and then by the time I had cooked dinner, washed up etc I was so very tired and didn't do much else :(

    Must try harder, must try harder ;)

    Here goes....

    Monday ~ Living room, Hallway, Stairs
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Remove clutter from floors, chairs[/STRIKE]
    Vacuum floors you can see and sofas
    [STRIKE]Open the windows and let in some fresh air[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Dust those flat fluffy surfaces, including the dust magnet that is the TV/stand
    Level Three
    Vacuum hall and stairs.. all the way up to the top!!!!!

    Tuesday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level 1
    Declutter the floor
    Level 2
    Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs..
    15 minutes floordrobe clearance
    Level 3
    Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing


    baby steps is the way - don't try to do everything at once! Aim for level ones and work from there!

    Another lovely day here - 2 washloads on the line, all washing up done.

    DD2's bedding in the machine - will do master bedroom later in the week but the bedding was done yesterday - oohh the bliss of clean sheet and duvet...... shame about the snoring next to me!

    Going to do more ironing this morning, then have book group this afternoon...

    DD2 down in the dumps - Sociology teacher kept on repeating a question to her yesterday - she kept on saying that she didn't know the answer! DD2 embarrassed and FURIOUS!

    Morning all

    Kids all decluttered to school but two have colds so not sure if they'll make the duration. Also found out that an elderly neighbour has passed away. She was 94 and wanted to go but there seems so much passing right now. I need news of babes!

    DD2 has thrown a temperature and is in our bed. She got hit in the face today by a PC at the end of school today and has gone downhill fast.

    Hope DD2 is ok, how do you get hit in the face by a PC:eek:

    Need to finish my dailies, make some bread and then pop out to the galleria to look for a couple of bits.

    Main flyinging today is continuing with paperwork in the family room (that is the aim of the week) plus to clean the kitchen windows and window sill.

    Serena - hope you are feeling a bit better today

    Toots and LL love to you both.

    HHC now anyone?
