    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.

    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

    Jenny RE: the Beavers, I say go for it, you really enjoyed it so why not x

    Got work this morning then going straight to Sunderland with DD1 and littley for some girlie shopping, there's nothing on my list though so I'll just be browsing---famous last words. Income has dropped quite significantly as of this week so tightening the purse strings.

    House was decorated for Halloween yesterday and pumpkin carved, it looks lovely. No time today to do it so had to be done early.

    I need a list:-

    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


    My list:-
    make beds
    corned beef hash in SC for tonight
    work 3 hrs
    phone housing benefit people to start claim
    tidy LR
    hoover through downstairs
    load DW
    empty DW
    sort Rabbit

    Got a moving out date from the council 9 January :eek: Slowly sorting through stuff and trying not to bring too much in, will be packing over Christmas and my week off but I'm mega excited woohoo!

  • 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:)

    musogirl- I know what you mean. I got excited about getting a steam mop. Must say has made cleaning the floors so much easier.

    Any way off to work now :D
