    Hugs piggers

    Well I've just ordered a new certificate from the AAT - £12 - but seeing as I passed in 1999 and I have no idea where my cert is, it's money well spent.

    Hi all :)
    Had a lovely time with my nieces last night and now have absolutely loads to catch up on - basically the whole week and I just don't know where to start?! Think I'll start on Monday's just because I really want to get my teeth into the kitchen :) So this is what I will do:

    Level 1
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe work surfaces [/STRIKE]
    Level 2
    Wipe and replace small appliances
    Scrub down front of units, large appliances and kickboards
    Wash skirtings, doors and window frames
    Level 3
    Wipe table and chairs - clean cloth if I have one :)
    Sweep and mop floor
    Degunge fridge

    My Extras
    My extras are slightly different because this is what I need to do :)

    De-clutter table
    Sort out 6, (yes 6)! big bags and boxes of books out that have been cluttering up the kitchen for longer than I can remember! I don't expect to be keeping many of them and I will report back how many we keep and how many we give to either freecycle or charity :)
    Start de-cluttering metal cabinet and post on freecycle - this is also cluttering up our kitchen.

    Frog
    Sort one shelf of my pantry


    I am going to be a very busy girl tonight but I will be so, so happy to achieve this :)
    Going to go [STRIKE]put the WM on so that clothes are washing [/STRIKE]while I bless my kitchen :)

    Will report progress later :)

    Happy blessing :D
    Jenny x




    Everything happens for a reason :)

    I've got a headache now so I'm gonna go and have a bath and give myself a darn good talking to. I'll be decluttering Lush products and the stubble from my chin!

    Wahey I am actually ahead this week thanks for the inspiration of HHC today I am impressed once I put my mind to it I can achieve anything. Tomorrow is going to be complete frog list day, some of those things I have been putting off for ages and venturing into the playroom - the ROOM OF DOOM - if I don't post by the end of the weekend send in a search party to rescue me!!
    Right now off to running club training. First time back training since injury in march bit warm so think I might struggle in the heat.

    Just read sad news about Chris - I followed his journey and it has made me realise you need to live life to the full while you can. Glad his passing was peaceful RIP Chris

  • Hi flygang,

    paid work over for the week, but rather a lot of the unpaid variety to come (church, PTFA & charity stuff, anniversary & holiday) so my frog list

    1. Website handover docs
    2. Sort last page on website with wrong fonts
    3. H & S forms (yuk!)
    4. Ring HMRC re tax for charity
    5. Pay o/s bills
    6. Banking
    7. FF & carhire - join & print
    8. ESTA/API's
    9. Chase up missing RSVP's
    10. Text for emails about where we are etc (away & local versions)
    11. Ring hall - can we have Friday pm, even if just to drop off stuff
    12. Catering list

    Right, bath & bed for DS (he's filthy :o after kids club), and then S & S kitchen, make tea then first frog here I come....


    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.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.

    yes, I expect it was the best end he could have had. I dipped in from time to time, it reminded me that I said I wouldn't waste another day once my cancer treatment was finished and how easily I forgot that:(
    I know what you mean.... I'm beginning to wonder why I spend all my waking hours while Mr LW's at work doing cooking and cleaning, and no time on things I'd like to do. Granted, with this damned illness it takes me ages to do things that normals would do in just a few minutes, but I really do have to try and stop feeling guilty if the place isn't 100% up to scratch.

    Oh, and while I'm at it, *raspberry* to Pigpen's OH.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
