  • I cannot for the life of me work out how to quote, so or even copy or paste from my phone, so here goes:

    1x wm, 1 x dw,
    Kitchen de cluttered and cleaned
    Small appliance wiped down
    Cupboards wiped down
    Woodwork wiped down
    Washing Hung up
    Sitting room dusted
    Dining table wiped

    I can really see how flying can help me keep on top of this.


    Thanks ladies for posting this up. :T

    Goodness knows how you find time to organise it as well as doing all the housework!xxx

    Not caught up yet so I hope everyone's OK. Just posting quickly before I have to start cooking.

    I've done the lists for yesterday and today but mixed them up and just got it all done over the two days.

    Also dried a load of washing (and the new washing line didn't fall over!)

    Asda shop delivered and put away. No rolls or buns again. I'll have to start having a later delivery I think, I'm assuming they pick my order before the bakery has finished and they can't be bothered to go back and put them in later.

    OK, five minutes catching up and then time to cook.

    I have tidied out a teenagers BR *shudders*

    and then made a start on sorting changing email/broadband which is more complicated than I realised! Also life assurance (still in my previous name and address, easier and cheaper to start a new one and then cancel the old one! Also written to close the ING account that gave away free money a few years ago.

    We are off to the newsagents to choose some sweets then we are having a team effort to sort the horrid playroom :cool:

    I must clean out the hens and do something about the weeds on the drive.
