Hi all count me in please
Thanks to Dusty for this weeks fred (i say that now but I've not seen the rest of the weeks challenges yet!!!:p;):rotfl:)
Thanks also to Piggers and Toots for everything they have done for me during the past 3 years(I fink that's right I trying to count from sexymouses birthdays!!). Some days I don't think I could have managed without the thread x
Valli huge love, hugs and prayers honey x

Funfairs list of daily dreads
(not in any sort of order!)If all else fails
Monday - kitchen and dining room
level one
Clear and wipe work surfaces
Level Two
Sweep and mop floors
Clean the drawer and filter in the WM
Wipe table and chairs
Level three
Clean the kitchen sink and drains
Empty and clean out your bins!
Clean the oven & hob
Declutter Mission
Sort through your tea towels, table clothes, napkins etc and get rid of any you don’t like or use. Check you can find the one you want for Christmas Day whilst you are at it.
Personal Challenges
Monday Trick or Treat
Today I want you to get somebody else to help with the flying, the more the merrier. Some of you are doing far too much for your household on your own (not all I know there are lots of partners and children who do help) so today I want you to either trick them into helping you and/or treat them for doing so. Any treat will do, bake a cake, :eek:, just say thank you. If there is nobody to help then I want you to spend 15 minutes doing a job you really don’t want to and then give yourself a nice treat.
Preparing for Winter Challenges
Monday the clock have gone back summer is officially over
I know it is sad that summer is gone but we don’t want to keep tripping over flip flops on the kitchen floor to remind us of that. Today gather up all summer footwear, hats and lightweight jackets. Get rid of any that won’t be needed next year. Put the rest away checking that they are clean and shoes are washed, polished and reheeled if necessary – you will thank me for this when we get our first warm day next spring. Replace with gloves, scarves, woolly hats, boots and winter coasts. Check they fit and everybody is kitted out for the cold days which will be here soon.
Right I'm off to bed before little miss gets up she's stil not good so I better get some shut eye.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0 -
Morning All
I boiled the kettle last night to make my jelly and then remembered when I got into bed that I hadn't made it! I've made it this morning so hopefully it'll be okay for tonight - it's in the conservatory , not the fridge as it won't fit - if not I'll stick it in the freezer when I get home.
Jenny - I love doing Beavers - let me know what you decide.
Valli - thinking of you and yours.
Better get sorted for work and get DD out of bed.
Have a good day all
Hugs

Tea towels & small hand towels sorted, 3 off to the garage for bike cleaning type rags, others neatly folded, rotate round and put away, so I use the ones that were always at the bottom of the pile, cannot do the Xmas ones till early December as they are miles away!

Morning everyone! I must get in with this, this week! We're making progress with doing up the kitchen and it looks so much better and is much easier to keep clean now so todays tasks should be pretty easy. Won't be bothering cleaning the oven as we have a new one being put in in a couple of weeks time. Then we'll be getting the floor done. I was very excited (and some might say very sad) yesterday because I got a new fancy touch top bin!:j It's the little things that make the difference:)
