I'm in again this week.

Just to catch up on weekend though, the following has been achieved:

Sewed button back onto Cardigan (:D)
WM x 3 done, including OH and I's towels
Bedsheets changed (dirty sheets in washing pile)
Treats from English store obtained, and sent (with some English mags I had) to my friend in Australia for her Birthday (got soaked doing this, thanks to the downpour on Sat - with hail!)
Small treat bought for OH for his birthday (was yesterday), which was a very lovely cake
Removeable hooks applied to bedroom door (so we can hang up our dressing gowns)
Attacked the Acti Fry part, without success (:( - I've tried everything except the oven cleaner now. Soda crystals were most succesful, but still nowhere near good enough)
Decluttered and cleaned coffee table
Received grocery shop and packed away
Decluttered fridge by chucking old stuff
Usual dinner making and washing of dishes
Cleaned the radiator/towel rail in bathroom
Read up some more of the K&A Cleaning Bible

OK, ready to tackle week ahead also now

ETA: Also cleaned inside of windows.

I don't normally post - largely because I'm pretty lazy! But my house is looking good & I am determined to come on top of it this week - we go on holiday in 11 days, and then move 14 days after this so I want my spare time to be spent packing & orgnaising & not housework!

So today Monday
[STRIKE]sweep hallway & kitchen[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]wash kitchen floor[/STRIKE]
pack a couple of boxes
sew on buttons/repair tops
clear out understairs cupboard & list things on freecycle
try to demould round side of bath

Monday ~ Bank Holiday (sadly not here)
Check UK bank for funds - if arrived, send payments.
Also, if Easyjet transaction finally processed, send change to sister
Update budget, and spends sheet
Remind OH to send his share of money for food shop, and new clothes airer (to be obtained tonight - I gave up on Sat due to the weather!)
Ask OH to put the bedsheets in the wash, and hang them up when done (will wait until lunchtime before texting him as he was up late last night)
Buy some 'Wereld' stamps, so can send Aus friend's B'day card which I forgot to include in package! Doh!
Do your dailies
Tackle some paperwork
Put at least one item on Ebay!

OK, that's my list for today.

Hi lollyfin and fibromum. Welcome to the mad house. Lucky you - piggers has given us the day off! I think that's cheating on your first day:rotfl:

As everyone on here will tell you. Don't try and do everything the first week. Your house didn't get to the way it is in 1 week so it will take a bit of time to whip into shape. Start with Level 1's and then move on. Each time the job will take a little bit less time and you can fit more into the same slot.
