    Actually managed to get everything done yesterday :D Bath towels are in the washing machine since it's dry and windy today, going to pack up orders before starting today's list.

    Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One

    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
    Empty the cutlery drawer.. clean it out, wash the cutlery tray, chuck those baby spoons you don't use any more.. how many medicine spoons do you actually need? get rid of everything you don't use and make the drawer look nice again!
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop floors
    Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there!
    Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary)
    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
    Clean fridge and see what needs using first
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
    Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer and dishwasher filters need to be done too!!
    Extras
    1. Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
    2. Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
    3. Clean oven if it really needs it.. or just do the hob..
    4. HHI .. bit of a catch up!!

    The RoD thing always makes me chuckle, because in our house, it's my bedroom ;)

    Are you my daughter!?? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Up & dressed. DW & WM on. Started on kitchen, then took kids to school.

    I need to upload photos & clear some disc space on the camera, and make sure I have batteries charged. DH needs it for his 3 Peaks Challenge later in the week (hoping he gets some good sunrise-over-the-mountain pics :)). I also need to make sure I have enough safety film for the windows in the new shed and go to the docs at 10.45.

    i may get the hoover out in a while - that should get my lazy DD's out of bed!:D

    I haven't taken the dog for his usual walk/swim 'cos I de-fleaed him last night, so have to wait 48 hrs. I will do the cat when I see her - she is up with the lazy DDs - they have a lot in common!!

    Right, lets go!

    Happy birthday Cat ... hope you have a lovely day today. Hugs and spoons to those who need/want it.

    Not had the best nights sleep ... had to have the window open and the ****hole across the road did nothing but cough seriously loudly all night. But kids decluttered to school ... DH about to go out in a half hour, then I can fly away lol. Not feeling too great this morning, had a good cry last night, feeling sorry for myself and sick of everything (debt etc) but just need to pull my socks up and keep on keeping on.

    Right, off to load the DW and WM and see if I can't do a load of housework before I have to pick up DD2

    Bugs dumped at school.. Squeak still in bed after keeping me up half the night.. OH brought her to bed at 4am later she woke at 3:15 screaming and coughing and wouldn't stop either and she had done an evil nappy by all accounts... ooh she just woke up I think..

    I am doing the second curtain today for DD2 and washing my bedding.. at least.. the duvet cover is filthy.. cats sleeping on it and OH pulling it up the bed.. bleurgh!!!! It is meant to rain tomorrow so I can get it on the line today.

    Surprisingly.. no sign of the gutter guy!!!! If I wasn't so desperate I'd have told him to eff off by now!!!!!!!!
