    Hi all.

    Kaz many thanks for the lists, and a BIG thank you for including mobility aids in the things to do/check.:beer:

    I'll try my best this week - still feeling very rough, and as always happens when Mr LW goes back to work, BD has moved in.:mad:

    Luckily the bathroom was done yesterday - I have to get Mr LW to move the bath lift for me to clean where it goes, and he helped me give the room a proper clean while we were there;:A I'll start on the spare room today if I can, as I'll be at the Fang Farrier tomorrow morning, and Mr LW is also wfh, so my chances of Flying tomorrow are close to zero!:o

    Re the extras list - most of it is already covered, and most of what's not covered is either not applicable or simply won't happen in a million years!:D Here's the breakdown:

    Check over store cupboard for food, add basic food stuffs if needed Done – Ongoing inventory on Excel spreadsheet so I always know what we have;)
    Do a meal plan for the next week, using up freezer / cupboard stock Done:D
    Mobility aids, such as wheelchairs,Left brake needs attention; will get Mr LW to do it on Tuesday (he'll be home during daylight hours) motorised scooters, check wheels / tyres are in good repair, battery of machine charged up, connection leads in good order, Checked and charged yesterday walking stick have a decent gripper on the bottom of them, All 4 are OK (I have 2 wooden ones and 2 metal folding ones) and I have spare ferrules in the bedside cabinet if not get it sorted now, before the slippery weather arrives.:o
    Do 3 items off your toots list (items 3, 5, 10) These are now all long-term things requiring Mr LW's help We did shift several items off it last week, don't know if this counts?:D
    Do 2 items off your frog list (items 6, 9) I already did all that was on it!!:p
    Garden put away summer toys / games / furniture All tidily away in shed:o
    Check shed is tidy, oil hinges / lock, where is the key to the lock Done recently by Mr LW; key is in its appointed place:o
    Plant any spring flowering bulbs N/A – we don't do this; I can't garden any more, and Mr LW has no interest in gardening:(
    Make 20 min for a home made spa / face mask / you time Not gonna happen!:eek:
    Drag out everything from under the bed storage unit or similar, sort out, rehome / freecycle anything you have not used for a while / don’t need. N/A - we don't have anything there to drag out!;)
    Make those appointments you have been putting off, ie doctors Blood test booked for Nov 16 / dentist Going Tuesday/ hair N/A - I haven't visited a hairdresser for over 25 years!:eek: / vets N/A – no pets of our own / bank. All done online:o
    Check garage door closes, where is the key to the garage. We only have a carport; metal shed where scooter lives checked, though, so counts as done. Key is in my bag.:o
    Make sure all bikes have brakes / lights / bells that work N/A – we don't have any:p
    Clean out all dog / cat / other animals, toys / grooming brushes / check over leads / collars N/A:o
    Check all smoke alarms work Done:o
    Add 5 items to this list of your own, that are achievable this week. Will have to think....:think:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
