Another neewbie to this - but getting desperate and drowning in clutter. Starting small and only aiming for Level 1 till I find my feet.
Monday ~ Living room, Hall and Stairs
Level One
Declutter the floors.. make the stairs safe and the hall clear
Vacuum said floors.. and up the stairs.. it looks so much better when you have clear stairs
Plus Dot to Dot sounds like a plan for my living area so tomorrow aiming to clear the clutter from the top of the filing box next to the PC.

Morning All
Today I need to fill some paperwork in for tomorrow, go to the dentist, Beavers and possibly Cubs, have a bath at some point during the day as I won't have time if I stay for Cubs. Aside from that, I still haven't finished the conservatory, there's a mountain of ironing and a pile of dishes that before I start on today's list.
Have a good day all
Hugs

Dusty thanks for that I think while we have decent weather (well better is forecast) I'll get mine down. They're really light and I think the cushions that match are the same fabric. Only the door curtain is a little short so I'm not too worried.
Juliejim good luck for today
Thanks for lists pigpen
Well I woke at 3.20 or something silly. Every time I drink (polished off a bottle of wine) I wake after a couple of hours. For the snoring and sleep squeaking/talking I couldn't sleep so I'm up and half dressed. I've looked inside the drier and can't see anything so far but need a torch, it's making a sparking like noiseI'm hoping the washer has sorted itself out too as that was pretending to be an extra for Blackpool illuminations yesterday. Could do without needing new before Christmas.
DP has decided as he needs to cover someone's runs this morning (another silly driver at work ran himself over) that tomorrow will be furniture building day. So today instead I WILL try to complete this lot
Dailies - feed animals and people, walk woof, poo patrol, S&S bathroom, DW
Wm - 2 loads or more, hoping it's sorted itself out
Try to fix TD
Clear rest of kitchen benches
Hang more sacks of clothes
Cut lawn (if dry, still too dark to tell)
Reorganise a cupboard or 2One day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -
Just popping in to pick up my listy.
MIA in action all last week as we were down in Devon for our WA.
The good news was that I had made a real effort to do all my weeklies before I left so last night felt so much better.
So much more to do though, so off to write my new list for the week.Work is not my Hobby0 -

First routine mammogram this morning(it's my age:eek:) have a bad case of contact dermatitis following a run in with a bath bomb - that'll teach me to stick to showers! Hope they aren;t too shocked:(
Ooh and the dog is at the vets to have an un-descended testicle removed - I think he's got the short straw:rotfl:

Morning all, thanks pigpen for the lists and big hugs to Toots and LL.
My plans today are to stay awake at my course...:rotfl:Only joking, just feeling very tired today. It's my own fault for sleeping a few hours yesterday evening and then i couldn't sleep right last night. :mad:
I've got my course this morning, then town run, then NB over for help with a form, i think sis, BIL and Eva are coming up, DS1 at BB tonight. So gonna be a busy wee day. OH can make a start on the list while i'm away.
I did do a meal plan out yesterday so i'm really gonna try to stick to it this week. Need to start pulling the penny's in for Christmas.
Right cuppa and i'll get the DW unloaded/reloaded then take the boys down for the bus. I need to do a shop run before i head to my course as well.
