    Over the weekend, I de-weeded and swept the patio and swept/washed the front doorstep (probably should be a regular job, but isn't)!

    My OH is currently outside burning the broken fence panels which came down last winter! They have been hanging around for so long they were becoming part of the furniture :D Still, the bits of wood are going into the incinerator now so we will soon be free of them :j

    Have just cleaned all the 'gunk' from the innards of my tumble-dryer condenser - mucky/yucky job that I always hate doing :(.

    Tenth Anniversary I've been Money Tipped!
    I've managed to get the apartment all but painted over the last 2-3 weeks. Only some skirting, the balcony and to go over the bathroom again.

    I think tonights plan of action is to write up a list of non standard jobs for me to pick from! I had a list but I've managed to get through the worst of them - live is so much easier now. I've a whole new room to work from having sorted out the spare room!!

    Sounds like people are getting through loads of work!

    Today my NSJ will be to do the other 2 desk drawers in DD's bedroom - that will be that complete then. I don't have long on Tuesday's so a nice easy job that will create feeling of achievement.

    Today's job will be to cook something in a halogen oven. It's only a NSJ as i've just been given it, so am new to this type of cooking method.


    Oh....and clean up some cat sick off a windowsill...(why would you throw up on a windowsill??)
    Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.

    Cats are wonderfully inventive with where they vomit - mine can find papers left on the kitchen table, sneak in, throw up on the papers and sneak out again without being seen. One of those universal laws, the more important the papers, the more likely they are to be covered in cat sick:eek: (sorry tmi!)

    GQ

    Edited to add - cleaning up cat sick in our house doesn't count as a NSJ - too frequent!

    How's everyone's NSJ's going? I didn't do any yesterday but have done another 5 thank you cards today - 13 to go I think :)

    Will need to make another list of NSJs though I also have other wedding stuff hanging over me (next up is edit and print photos and make an album which is a big job!).

    Slowly! That's as work is mega busy tho and I'm shattered :( however at least I have a job and it's paying my debt.
    Tonight I cleaned the over. As much as it should be done more frequently, it isn't and therefore it's a NSJ!
    I don't think I will get one done tomorrow but will aim to do something on Friday. Good night all
