    Morning All

    Triker - congratulations - hope you enjoy your first day.

    Beavers and Cubs tonight plus DH is at home so probably won't get a lot done. Back at work today and I don't really feel like it but hey ho. I'm supposed to be going to the dentist tomorrow but not sure how that will go down at work.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

  • I'm in - wonder how many people will be ill this week?

    We had a really good go at the kitchen and bathroom yesterday but there are bits of the kitchen that I can redo - just to make sure....

    My own list today - phone GP - discuss DD2,
    then phone school
    then phone the school I work in to sort out whether I am going to work today....

    Thanks to Dusty for the thread.

    Juliejim - if you need to go to the dentist tomorrow then you should go - work CAN survive without you...
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    Sorry I've been away :o I had a few "bad days" and have been really down :( Then the exboyfriendish turned up at mine the beginning of last week! :eek: He'd been saying for a while that he was coming to visit but never did so I took it all with a pinch of salt but then he turned up.
    So of course any type of routine I had went out the window what with him coming and it being half term. House is a bomb site and the diet's out the window too :o:(
    Baby steps today I guess see what I can get done. "He's" still asleep as he was watching a film last night so hopefully I'll get some bits done

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Sweep and mop the floor - right into the corners
    Clear and wipe table
    Level Two
    Wipe the worksurfaces, including underneath anything which lives here
    [STRIKE]Clean out the fridge, use up or chuck anything at or past it's best[/STRIKE]

    Level Three
    Sort out a hotspot
    Clean a window
    Wipe any marks from walls/doors
    Extras
    [STRIKE]Refill salt/pepper/herb pots etc (give them a wipe whilst you're at it)[/STRIKE]

    *skulks back in, hanging head in shame*

    Well after a couple of good weeks flying merrily along, and then changing to follow my own lists, I have to admit an epic fail last week. Where others use half-term to catch up, my whole week was spent watching the ironing pile takeover the spare room and writing my name on various dusty surfaces throughout the house.

    New week, new challenge.

    I have a friend coming for coffee in a mo, then I will crack on with DK's list for today. Wish me luck....
