    nicki - belated happy birthday, hope it was fun :)

    sounds like you've all had productive weekends. i've not done a lot, but the
    flat is still tidy and have achieved a few things today like cleaning the dyson filters and washing the whole thing out, doing some washing, putting stuff in the oxfam bank, picking up carpet cleaner borrowing from friend. plus i was at work and out a lot of the day.

    got a decent list for tomorrow but don't think any of it will take long as its all ok & dining room doesn't exist.
    my list:
    post office - pay in, pay off cc :), send parcel
    wilkos - buy carpet shampoo (or try stardrops in it?!)
    clean rugs and carpets
    clean all light switches
    put dry washing away
    water plants
    S&S kitchen
    S&S bathroom
    unscrew shower pole, borrow drill & fit new one

    wipe living room window sill
    27 fling boogie
    buy new kettle

    Moggins list:
    Living room, hoover (moving furniture not just around it), dust, clean lightswitches and skirting boards, wipe down tv screen, clear hotspots.

    Hallway, hoover, clear cobwebs, dust skirting boards and dust any pictures.
    Nightime routines.

    moggins, why are you hoovering before dusting? aren't you sweeping the dust onto the clean carpet?:confused:

    Because you should be picking up the dust with a damp duster or a microfibre cloth rather than just moving it around the house :D

    Morning all...just quickly posting that I've actually got dressed to the shoes...AND I've even put make-up on :eek: OH will start wondering whats going on as I was also up at 6.03 on the dot when my alarm went off to do 10mins abdominal workout and then 10 minutes meditation :D

    Off to sort DD, just realised that her school pants are down here :rolleyes:

    Laters :wave:

    BTW - won't be back on until I've done ALL my dailies and attacked the wash basket & livingroom ;)

    Lounge done!!!! Pulled out both sofas, hoovered behind, curtain pole hoovered, all pictures and mirror vinegared and shining!! Skirting board swished and even hoovered the ceiling on the hunt of dust bunnies, oh and glass cabinet cleaned and shelves dusted. Lounge does not take much cleaning as its included in my dailies but at least I know it has had all the nooks and crannies done.

    Right now to tackle kitchen and tidy breakfast dishes away.

    Well anything that might be getting done in here will have to wait as I feel horrendously sicky, and I've taken my shoes off lol.. I don't ever wear shoes anyway.

    I am going to find some food see if that stops this ickiness and then fling the shorty in bed if she will let me, find some funky music (think it is upstairs in DD1's player still) and make a start on the front room and hallway.

    For now.. I'm dead lol
