    Thanks, Happier, I read quickly and miss some things:D

    Meeting cancelled :j so it's kitchen time after the cauliflower cheese with added veggies and eggs has been eaten.
    Waits for barrage of flatulence related jokes...:D

    I have another question for all you organised people – where do you store your library books? We visit the library regularly – normally once a week – but I’m not sure the bookshelf is the best place for the books as I sometimes end up with fines for books I’ve forgotten we’ve borrowed. We’re doing the book crawl for my daughter too. She gets a certificate for every four visits to the library – how sad am I – she’s 21 weeks old she doesn’t know what’s happening!

    OK I’m off to tackle the cupboard.

    We have a library book box. It sits in the living room. The children know to return books to it. We also pop the odd magazine in too. My youngest got his library card at 1 month old!:rotfl: HTH

    Its been a busy morning here dogbot has been given the all clear and can know go out on his regular walks :D So he and OH have gone out for a run.
    :T:T:T Bless him, I bet he'll love having proper walkies again.:o

    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining room
    Level One
    Sweep and mop floor Done by Mr LW:A
    Clear and wipe worksurfaces Done
    Level Two
    Wipe units and appliances.. Done
    Empty and wash out bins WIP – Kitchen bin will be done tonight (all others done).... bin day tomorrow;)
    Clean out fridge Done (prior to F&V run)
    Clear and wipe table.. clean cloth! Done (no cloth used)
    Level Three
    Scrub manky marks off walls and tiles.. scrub that greasy grout! Done as best I can
    Clear window sills of gibble and wipe them before replacing back the necessary stuff and finding new homes for the unnecessary stuff! Done; no gibble to rehome.:p
    Clear out the under sink cupboard.. fling what you don't need/use. Replace dishclothes etc if needed. Done
    Extras

    1. Binbag dance Done
    2. HHI N/A; HHWiiFit instead
    3. Clean light shades and bulbs and blinds Light fitment done from floor level with duster-onna-stick; no blinds; curtains washed already.
    4. Wipe over oven and hob! Done
    I'm pretty much all done; leaving the kitchen bin til the last minute, in case there's anything else to chuck (f'r instance I must do my nails in a mo, as they keep breaking, so the trimmings will be chucked) - I'll get the glassware box and pink recycling bag in from the shed and put those and the black bin bag on the front doorstep when Mr LW is due home, and he'll take them out to the collecting point at the front of the property. Must make sure he puts the green wheelie bin out, too (garden rubbish) as this has the results of yesterday's assault on the front garden in it.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • Finances up to date. Kitchen done. Yea!

    Thanks for all your replies about the library books. LW - your idea is great but my phone is so old I'm not sure it does that and if it does I don't know how to make it! I'm going to try and remember to write the titles in my diary at the library on the date due back though.

    I've also found a special place for them in the living room as cat_smith and chloris reccommended. Here's to hoping I get no more fines!

    Thanks Sammiell I am feeling a lot more positive. I think it helps that Scarletts slept much better for 2 out of the last 3 nights so I'm only getting up for one night time feed rather than 6 or so. (She doesn't do anything in between either its just 4am, or its 10pm, 12am, 1am, 2am, 4am and 6am!) It's been 4 weeks since she last regularly slept through the night so I've been thouroughly exhausted.

    I'm really pleased with how much I've got done today as I did a bit more than I thought I would.

    Tomorrow I will tackle the paper draw and toy box and then I can start on the list for cleaning.

    Does your library have an online system where you can look at what you have out on loan and renew etc? We check ours weekly, and always renew what's already out if we add more to them, then they all have the same date to go back.

    Anyone for a HHC at 4.30? My kitchen is minging :o

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Off to vacuum but it's a struggle - I'd rather play on Facebook! My plans for a quiet evening are a bit scuppered as I've just had 2 jobs sent to me by the new bloke I'm typing for and he needs them back tomorrow. Ho hum!!

    Dancemum, I'll join you but am starting now otherwise I won't do it!
