    Would it be worth breaking it down to one drawer, or one shelf or a foot of wardrobe rail of each area at a time??

    I suppose it depends on how you work best - do you need wardrobe space first, or a clear shelf?

    Tuesday ~ Master bedroom and Landing
    Level One
    strip the bedding and get it washed.. air the duvet
    Done Saturday as usual
    Mattress vacuumed turned vacuumed other side and redress bed
    Done Saturday as usual
    Items 3 and 4 from your frog list!! Item 3 done. Item 4 done.
    Level Two
    Deal with the floordrobe
    No floordrobe here!
    Wash the windows in these rooms
    Done
    Wipe all the doors and frames in these areas
    Done
    Level Three
    Vacuum floors
    Done by Mr LW
    Tidy a cupboard/chest of drawers
    WIP as Clothes Frog progresses – complete re-allocation of drawer space is being undertaken as part of the exercise
    Dust and deweb.. inc bed frame!!
    Done

    Extras
    1. Binbag dance Done
    2. Binbag for charity WIP – box stands ready for when items surface (pair of trousers went in yesterday)
    3. Sort out your own shoes and bags.. can any be rehomed? All shoes tidy and away; I only have one bag!
    4. HHI None to do; HHYoga instead.
    All done for today; Mr LW's on early shift, wfh tomorrow, so very little chance of me attempting tomorrow's list on time. Also, when he finishes, we have to go into town (yet again.... boring!!) to collect meds, pay in the cheque for looking after Lottie, and get a few other bits and bobs.

    Frog #4 was a bit time-consuming, but I'm pleased it's done; I also downloaded the pics I took of Lottie, before that task transformed into a frog, and ate a bit more of a major frog on my Toots list. I'm stopping now though; I've Had Enough for today, and I find that's a good time to stop, or I end up doing a slapdash job.:o

    Cazmanian_minx it's amazing how much gunge one small dog can produce, isn't it? Your Springer isn't called Jerry by any chance.....:D

    JennyJewell I've been doing a major sort-out of my clothes, and I've found it best to break this extremely large, tough frog down into "tadpoles", ie one drawer/shelf at a time. I also have a collapsible plastic crate to use as a "holding point" for stuff that needs to be tried on before either putting away or putting in the RSPCA box. HTH.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    dusty thanks and yay for the tickets. :T
    shellysue it's such a big stress lifted, DD is so much happier and hubby has completely chilled out. :D
    Great news Pigpen..:j:j:j


    2 frogs have been eaten here, hubby strimmed the garden and lane and i mowed the gardens. They where so bad because we haven't done them for so long. Hedges have started to grow in well so Rhys has free run of the garden but i'll have to make a gate to stop him getting round the side of the house, he hasn't caught on yet. :rotfl:
    The hedges can wait until another day.

    Right i best see what i have in for dinner and stick another load in the wm.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Thank you LameWolf x
    I have stripped bedding and washed it - just needs drying now :) Nearly finished tons of dishes and have been recycling but oh dear me loads to do! Had to stop to sort a bill out I had forgotten about - had to transfer money into hubby's account because I have yet to change over from maiden name to married name on this particular bill, oops!
    Must crack on :)
