My original frog list (below but with additions!! ) has had to go on hold - the builders have started work again (:j:j:j) and until they are finished, it is just impossible to work around the debris :eek::eek::eek:

I have decided that my target has to be to get this done by the end of the year and hopefully start the new year with wonderful, sparkly clear gardens!!

Back Garden:

Clear the debris from the dogs (polite way of saying poo hunt!! )
Chop up the doors and other wood that the builders have put on the patio
Cut the grass
Sweep the leaves
Cut out the lawn for flower beds
Move the dead dishwasher into the front garden
Clean out the greenhouse
Clean the greenhouse
Get rid of the old chicken wire from the boundary of the back garden and replace it with new stuff
Clean the panels for the solar lights


Front Garden

Chop up the pallets for the wood
Get a skip to get rid of the brick rubble from builders, the dead bed, mattress, fridge freezer, old windows, dead bikes and all the rest of the rubbish which currently resides there...:o
Level the ground once the rubbish has gone and lay lawn

I have decided that I need a new frog list for the period in between this so am going to think hard about the things that I really need to do, but haven't done yet.... I know it sounds crazy, but I just can't think of anything off the top of my head!! Wish that it meant that there isn't anything, I just think that I have buried the frogs so deep that they are refusing to let me remember them!! :rotfl:

I've done my ironing at last, next on list is Avon deliveries and housework, then back to decluttering and eating out of freezer and cupboards

I did it, I called L1ttlew00ds and cancelled my account with them.:j I've been meaning to do this for a couple of years now. One frog down.

Next frog - clear the dining room table.:o

inspired I have tried to merge my clubcard accounts (to maximise the vouchers) but can't because their systems won't allow it during the mailing out vouchers time - bah humbug.

so I will
[STRIKE]
find the WD40, run out and spray the garden gate hinges.
[/STRIKE]put some washing away everytime I go upstairs - I have been doing this - the pile is now much smaller - but still there, and I've been doing more washing, so, bit of a forth bridge scenario.
[STRIKE]sew one christmas felt star
clean out one cupboard in kitchen (did the pantry last week which is the second biggest frog in there)
finish hanging the curtain pole for the small window in the kitchen[/STRIKE]
fix the blind in the lounge
fix the standard lamp in the lounge
PAY parking fine:o

lol, shamefully I still have last week's washing to put away - I sort it, wash it, dry it, fold it into the baskets.......and there it stays.........crumpling, until someone rumages through it and wears it again...
