    Hit the ground running as soon as I woke up this morning as the dog had been rather unwell all over the kitchen floor. Still, floors now clean so that's ticked off the old list (again!). Then realised DS's project, that he's had all the ideas for but not actually finished, needs to be in tomorrow and we're busy tonight so helped him laminate parts of the project and tie items to statements. Such fun!

    Now going to walk dogs, go to hospice, work in clinic and then look at my list again...see you laters xx

    Good morning all xx

    Oh the joy of walking into a kitchen uncluttered with pots etc. Space to make breakfast on, clean dishes to make it in...and that's after one day flying.YAY.

    And the dailies won't take long today 'cause I did them yesterday :0) I've decided that I no longer live in a tip, it's a WIP!!!!

    Right, before my next post I'm going to get dressed, do the dailies and write out my Toots/frog list...that should free my brain up from the 'oh I need to....niggles' especially the niggles that pop up in the night!!!

    Have a good day xx

      please also tell me that the sales guy is correct when he tells me that its minimum disruption to replace 3 windows and will take half a day or so for the lot and they will clean up after themselves!

      That is not my experience at all.

      Dusty - hope today's a better day.

      So far it is just as bad if not worse:( Still I've tested the waterproof mascara 3 times already today and it is working :rotfl:

      No hope of getting anywhere productive but a cuppa I can do, just realised I haven't eaten today yet either which is not usual for me. I may do some ironing.

      Can I ask you flyladies (and gents if we have any) how much stuff do you tumble dry?
      Now the winters here I tend to TD everything that has the TD label on it but I was wondering about other stuff. I'm worried about bunging it all in in case it shrinks, that happened with some pirmark pj's I put in only, but I'm having trouble getting all the heavy stuff dry on the airers :( and the colder it gets the more heavy stuff there'll be!!

      Some how managed to sleep through the alarm but luckily DD1 woke up but we were all running late so I gave them a lift.
      Sent DD2 back after the Dr again said it was eczema. He's given her some stuff to put in the bath now which hopefully will help and it's itchy and spreading (sorry TMI) :(
      Having another down day, lots of things on my mind and they won't go away :(
      DW loaded and on, WM loaded and on, one load just going on the airer. Another load still drying on the other airer :mad:
      The house isn't looking too back although the DDs room is a bomb site as usual :mad: and the floors in the whole house need hoovering / mopping.
      It's DD2's job to hoover upstairs so I'll do downstairs and the bathroom after I've had a coffee :)

      Monday - Bathroom, shower room, toilet

      Level 1
      Clear and mop the bathroom floor

      Level 2
      Clean all plug holes and the plugs themselves~ use gloves if needed.

      Level 3

      Declutter mission

      DONE

      Level 1
      Clean floors
      Removed any cob webs

      Level 2


      Level 3
      15mins you time doing what ever you like

      Declutter mission


      Wednesday - Kitchen

      Level 1

      Level 2

      Clean lights, take care please, no falling off steps or ladders

      Level 3
      Clean out a cupboard you have been dumping stuff in Going to get DD1 to do this she has more patience than me :o

      DH has taken the laptop charger away with him so I can't copy the lists:(

      DS1was offered the job and is jubilant. However the hoes are 7-11am and 7-11 pm 4 days on 3 days off. He needs alot of sleep and the 8 hours between night and evening shifts will be eroded to 6 hours sleep with travelling. I haven't pricked his bubble yet it's nice to have him happy.

      I've been flinging in the utility room to make room for all the Christmas food and bits that will soon be acquired.
      One hour if flinging and half a wheelie bin filled. :)

      Hope you don't feeldelicate after your migraine Jue.

      HHC at 11 if anyone wants to join in?
