    Having joined in again on Friday, I have to say how much I really enjoyed my living room this weekend and DH and the kids even kept it tidy. So please count me in for this week as well.
    I have done the hall downstairs, hoovered the stair and done the floor and toilet and sink in the downstairs loo. Having a cuppa and then heading upstairs, theres two bathrooms up there so I may be gone a while

    Well done, how is your pain today?

    Well the couple of bits I did left me screaming :o:mad:, but they are done and I have sat down with some chamomile tea, my pain killers etc and have been sorting through my Goodreads books and playing catch up on some sites.

    After lunch when I can crochet without pain induced mistakes (I hope! :eek:) I will .... well .... crochet :p
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    Okay I'm in again and hoping to get more done (chronic pain not withstanding!)
    (((Gentle hug))) You and me both, Dragon. Pain kept me awake all night again; I've had 2 doses of Oramorph so far today, and am seriously contemplating a third.:(

    Dilly Doglet has been medicated (she's got anti-biotic tablets and Metacam liquid to have, luckily she takes both willingly), fed and walked (Mr LW thankfully remembered to get the buggy out before he went to work).

    OMG:eek: today's list. OK, let's have a look..... ah, much of it is already covered, thankfully. Unfortunately I'm obsessive-compulsive enough that if I don't finish the list OR have a valid reason for not doing a task, I get very unhappy with myself.:cool:

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Monday Hall, staris, landing, Bathrooms and loos

    Level One
    Hoover and Mop all these areas
    Done by Mr LW:A
    Clean sink and toilet, including the pedestal front and all the yunk behind
    Level Two
    Clean bath, shower
    Done Sunday by Mr LW (including bath lift):A
    Empty the bins
    Level Three
    Clean mirrors, shower screens, windows
    Wipe any marks from the walls/tiles
    Put away anything on the stairs or landing
    N/A – no stairs or landing :p (it's a bungalow) and there's no clutter in the hall:o (only my folding sticks, which live there when we have a dog staying, rather than on their hook in the cupboard, as it saves me hassle getting them out several times a day)
    Extras
    HHI
    All cleared by Mr LW on Sunday:A
    Sort the bathroom cabinet - today is a special day so use some of your 'special' creams, lipsticks, bubble bath etc
    If you have a cupboard in this area or under the stairs then give it a good sort out
    Hall cupboard is Mr LW's province; *checks * it is, in fact, all tidy, with everything neatly stacked /hung up.:A
    Wipe the lightshades if it is safe to do so
    Check your smoke alarms, hoover if necessary and safe
    [/FONT]


    Would someone please remind me what today is?:o I know it's the Full Moon tonight, but I'm certain that's not what Dusty's referring to. Sorry, brainfog, and I'm lousy at remembering days/dates.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Hi everyone,

    I'm in again this week, no sign of baby yet (38 weeks now) so no reason why I can't keep the house clean! :D So far today have done the above, will update later as haven't finished yet! I've got a friend coming round for coffee with her four-month old daughter at 2pm so am aiming to have done the rest of levels one and two at least by then.

    Since my last post I have finished Levels 1,2 & 3 of the list except for glass cleaning & done another WM load.

    LW - idk what Dusty means either. Maybe just that everyday is special in some way.

    I am going to walk the dog before lunch then will finish level 3 and finish my dailies before starting the extras.

    Hi all

    Hope you all had a good weekend.

    In regards to using the 'special' products from your bathroom cabinet, I decided not to save things for best. I got a lovely b0dy shop white musk set so use that weekdays and a more 'posher' fragrance set that I use at weekends.

    I intend to get as much done tonight as I can as tomorrow I'm joining a running club :eek: I was the fat four-eyed kid who was always picked last for pe and the running club is across the field from my old primary school so I'm telling myself that those kids won't be there and it's something I want to do so I'm not allowing anyone to put me off going.

  • Hello everyone

    I'm back in this week, job didn't work out :mad: :( :mad:

    Thanks dusty for the list :eek:

    I have an OU assignment due in on Wed which I am working on alongside flying and job searching :o My plan is HH study, HH flying, HH jobsearch, HH bit of a rest and pottering, then start the cycle again, so hopefully I will make progress in all areas.

    Feeling pretty down as I was treated really shabbily at the ex-job (I wasn't the only one, it was a nightmare office) but pleased I stood up to them and recovered my self-respect and confidence which was severely dented in just 4 days :( Anyway onwards and upwards!!
