Hi,

I'm in again. Thank you for the thread:

Monday..
Level One
Vacuum through downstairs .. or sweep/mop (This is also my whole home)
Dust and deweb all of the downstairs rooms
Level Two
HH doing something necessary... ironing/cleaning/gardenning/studying.. whatever!

Extras

1. Gather up stray laundry
2. Run appliances through a clean cycle if youve not done it in a while and clean filters.
3. Make a start on christmas lists.. cards, presents, people to buy for etc..

As I've been away for the weekend I have a lot of laundry to do and general tidying of living areas as it became a dumping ground when we returned home.

Thanks again

K

Tyadog - I wash my down duvets hot, and tumble VERY hot to kill dust mites. The only problem I have is that only my summer one fits in my washing machine

I am here although can't promise I will be able to post again so I will say thanks now and send love, hugs and spoons to anyone who needs them. Went to see niece today, she is doing ok just not keen on playing the waiting game but we went armed with a huge bunch of flowers which did the trick and they are coming for dinner later in the week so looking forward to that. Will do what I can and maybe be able to post at some point.

tyadog

Greenbee - thank you for the advice.

I was nervous about washing pure down at all, its a single one so fitted in the machine, and old. Some conflicting advice about washing online, so went for the gentle approach! However, I will now do it again tomorrow on hot - I had little ones staying over the weekend, and a small "accident" so I would rather be sure the duvet is properly clean - if it doesnt survive its not the end of the world as I've had it since I was a child - a long time ago now . Good point about the dust mites too!

Thanks so much
Tx

greenbee

I'm sure it will be clean, and not worth washing again, but next time, fry the dust mites in the TD
