    got my kitchen finished, some washing done (although i seem to have left a hankie in my pocket which has welded itself onto my fave cardi grr) and made a start on the hallway, still need to tidy up the phone table, shoes, hoover and dust.
    i'm getting quite good at this flying malarky :)

    Tenth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    Afternoon

    I have been lurking this week but today I gave the bathroom a good clean and washed the floor and did the kitchen floor. There is a load of washing on the line and I am watching the weather like a hawk. I sorted a frog and worked out what my grocery spend has been so far this month.

    Just thinking about vacuuming around..... I hate my Dyson as it's too heavy.

    Have a good afternoon all.

    Good afternoon :D
    I have eaten a doggy shaped frog! I have managed to find somewhere for my dog to stay while we are on holiday :j It was not easy, as we are going in August and i had to call a few places before I found somewhere that had vacancies. It is a kennels (was hoping to get him boarded in someone's home, but, as usual, I left things to the last minute & beggars can't be choosers :o). We have visited the kennels. They are clean, and the staff are friendly and were happy for us to look around. But it is noisy, and he will probably get stressed. He will also only get lead walks all week, and he is a springer!! I think I will cry when I leave him :( I nearly cried while I was there 'cos there was a little dog that had just been left to be re-homed & it was shaking :(:( Might get DH to take him on the day!!

    I have cleaned the downstairs toilet & basin. DD1 has promised to do the upstairs one :) Washing is still on the line from yesterday :o

    Just having a cuppa, and then it's school run time to collect the boys. I feel my headache coming back just thinking about it!!!

    HHC was cut short due to OH coming home early and finishing off jetwashing the front garden....hose pipe and jet eash lead triling through the house now.
    I did manage to unload and reload the WM+TD though!!

    DD is going to have a shower now and I'll check her hair......will see what else I can do after that.
    Not feeling too good at the mo though....feel hungry but sick at the same time!!! Hopefully it will pass as quickly as it came............xx

    Just thinking about vacuuming around..... I hate my Dyson as it's too heavy.
    *Nods in agreement*. Mr LW had a Dyson already when I moved in with him, and it's far too heavy for me; this is why he gets to vacuum the bungalow every weekend.;) There's nothing wrong with it, so I'm not going to replace it til it dies.:money: I have a little hand-held Electrolux for spot-vacuuming (usually the corner of the kitchen where I do baking, as I get flour everywhere).

    I've done what's needed today:

    Thursday ~ Bathroom, Study and Landing!
    Level One
    Declutter all the floors! No clutter on floors to start with!!:p
    Empty all the bins Done
    Eat 2 froggies!

    Provisional meal planning for whole of August, as we'll have canine guests virtually all month FROG EATEN!
    Clean up antler pieces FROG EATEN!
    Level Two
    Set computer to defrag – done Sunday (regular PC maintenance day cos I refuse to do Mr LW's 'puter for him) -;) then clean the bath and loo and tiles and basins and toilets and showers and bidets etc Done
    Wipe over any chairs etc N/A – 'puter chairs done on lounge day, no chairs in bathroom:o
    Polish the pc/lappy Done on lounge day:o
    Level Three
    Clear a box of clutter from the landing and a hotspot from the study No boxes of clutter or hotspots anywhere!:p
    Vacuum/mop all the floors All been done by Mr LW :A
    Wipe over and dusty paintwork Done all I can get to:o
    Extras

    1. Wash out the bins after emptying Done
    2. binbag dance in these areas Done
    3. Wash any windows in these areas that are in need Done (included shower screen):eek:
    4. Catch up on a couple of phone calls! (tax credits tax credits ra-ra-ra!!!) N/A – I DO NOT do phones!! *stamps foot petulantly* (and we don't get tax credits)
    I've also made a loaf - or rather the BM has.:D

    I'm just having a wee time-out as my back's killing me - actually, I think I'll have a dose of Oramorph in a mo.

    Then I have to:
    • Construct lasagne for tonight's dins
    • Clear the washing up created by constructing lasagne
    • Try for HHWii
    • Do my brain training
    • Attempt to get ahead with the week's final 2 Frogs, as they're going to be time-consuming.
    OK - onwards and upwards. Oramorph first, though.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
