    Monday ~ Living room, Hall and Stairs

    Level One


    [STRIKE]Declutter the floors.. make the stairs safe and the hall clear[/STRIKE]
    Always clean and clear - I have a bit of a 'thing' about stuff on the stairs.

    [STRIKE]Vacuum said floors.. and up the stairs.. it looks so much better when you have clear stairs[/STRIKE]

    Level Two

    Wipe the sofas

    Wash any soft furnishings that are in need

    [STRIKE]Wipe the paintwork.. inc. the skirtings behind the sofas![/STRIKE]
    Doing the bookcases and speakers meant this was done yesterday :A

    Level Three

    [STRIKE]Clear all the paperwork into a box or bag, clearing those cluttered surfaces[/STRIKE]
    Done, as usual - but then it tends to just get left there for months on end.....

    15 minutes filing.. from above box/bag if you just filled one! Elsewhere if you didn't!
    NOOOOOOOOOO!

    [STRIKE]Dust and deweb those corners[/STRIKE]

    [STRIKE]Polish the electrical.. without blowing yourself up please![/STRIKE]

    Extras
      [STRIKE]Wipe the hand rails, banisters and spindles[/STRIKE]

      [STRIKE]Clear and tidy up all the bags and coats and shoes[/STRIKE]

      BOILERS SERVICED, [strike]TEST RUN C/H TO CHECK IT IS OK BEFORE IT IS FREEZING[/strike]

      [STRIKE]binbag dance.. get some decluttering done![/STRIKE]



      And now, off into the town centre in the hunt for something acceptable for wearing next weekend. Can't have me looking like a bag lady onstage, can we?

      Right I'm going to do a HHC before the anaesthetic wears off as it was really painful while it was being done so I don't think it's going to go away quietly!

      HHC 1.15 - 1.45 anyone?

      Juliejim - ((HUGS)), I hope it isn't too painful after the anasthetic wears off. Been there, done that, got about 50 t-shirts. It sucks! Take it easy x

      JoJo - ((HUGS)) for you too. Teen's are...well....teens. Plus, she may actually be p'ssed off at her Dad, but it's easier to take it out on you as you are the one is most often around, IYSWIM. Listen to the all the people who do want you to continue with your music, as they know better :)
