    hi all

    sorry i did not mean to be cheeky - asking you to post it in quick reply - i really appreciate the work you are doing to motivate me and others.

    I am quite shocked that i am so desperate to know what tomorrows list will be! what has happened to me!

    anyway i am off to bed now as i have a one and two year old with chickenpox and so will probably be awakened shortly by unahppy itchy children, so will check back at 5am when they will be awake for the day!

    thanks again

    Friday Ferk Up

    Today is the home office/study/computer desk, tidy, dust, delouse, what ever you need to do to make it nice and clean and tidy. Do not do what the moggins does unless you have a plastic end to your hoover nozzle (I keep getting told off by the guy in the computer shop as I hoover inside my computer)



    Conservatory/Utility. Declutter and tidy.

    Dailies and nightime routines and don't forget to get any uniforms in the wash.

    Sorry all I have tried to edit this but it won't let me copy and paste my original text as bigger writing :(

    today was going sooo well until I read the jobs for tomorrow - my study is the dumping room in this house and until I get the other rooms how I want them it will stay that way but I do promise to get DD1's bedroom finished, she is still off with earache but I should be able to work round her tomorrow.
    Today I have cleared two hotspots in the master bedroom - it took me about 2 hours less than the big clean last week and i feel very pleased that I have managed to keep it clean for a week, beds have been changed and the room has been hoovered and polished. I dropped off two bags to the charity shop I know we were only to get rid of 5 things but once I started I wasn't stopping even got DD1 in on the act and managed to get her to clear out some of her old clothes. WMx3, DW and ironing done and put away, Kitchen and Bathroom SS.
    Aiming for an early night, so heading to bed with my book which hopefully I will managed to read some of without falling asleep too quickly.

    Thanks Moggins, that made my day, not! Oh heck the PC area downstairs is a dumping ground, the desks huge and needs a darn good clear out, maybe if I start now I'll finish before Monday :( Then there is the 2 upstairs, not so bad but still need work!

    PS - Clean those mice and keyboards, I did a test when I was studying on them, ewwwwwwww it's horrid what gets on there, even faeces on some, yak! Oh and the on/off button, they are the things I definately keep clean!

    Thankfully no Conservatory or utility but the tumble drier in the hall needs cleaning inc condenser etc so will do that. Got family coming over tomorrow so will have to work round that. I'll be back with the list tomorrow.

    jjef well done, it's great when it takes less time the next time you tackle it isn't it. That is when I notice the difference. Hope your DD feels better soon.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Well, This is what I found when I was cleaning out the chest of drawers in the bedroom today:

    Underwear
    Socks
    Swimming costume
    T shirts
    jumpers

    Padlock and keys
    pencil
    letters
    photo's
    book
    hearing aid batteries
    picture frame
    paper
    cd
    comb
    deepheat spray
    hairclips

    Needless to say it needed a good clean out. And now everything is nicely folded.

    I'm lovin it (flying that is)

    happy for tomorrow, I only have a computer desk which I kept tidy since last week, only needs a dusting. WM TD in garage, could do with cleaning out the condenser or could go into town tomorrow..

    My bedroom is tiny, so it was a quick fix for me today.

    Did clean window sill, hoovered and wiped the little shelves with alarm clocks and beautiful statue of Indian woman. ;-)

    Anyway, since I felt I'd be cheating if I'd left it at that, I folded a HUGE mountain of washing that was collecting on my couch. AND I made the kids put it away!

    Dailies ofcourse include the kitchen, DW, WM and dryer.. and a quick wipe of the toilet and a quick hoover of the living room and kitchen.

    After tea it was time for me to go to my line dancing class and I was HOPING that my DH would load the DW. But he didn't. So the dirty dishes are still sitting on my counter top. sniff sniff..
    I will get rid of that before I go to bed.

    Tomorrow will be EASY!! I have a laptop that I pull out onto our dining table when I want to use it.
    But it's my DD1 14th birthday so I'll be busy enough.

    have a good y'all.
