    Thank you JulieJim for last weeks list. I kept mostly on track so thank you for the lists and motivation. Dentist again for you tomorrow :( you really have been through it with that tooth:(

    Thanks Dusty for starting this weeks list wow that seems a lot to do in the kitchen!! I'll have to be on my toes tomorrow (ha) I sort of skim read the end of last weeks post- did I hear right It's going to be two years till they know Eds fate? Or have I managed to mix that up? (I'm kinda hoping I have!!)

    Ouch Helen poor hubby. Nurse Helen for you this week (was gonna say fingers crossed- but not really appropriate) lets hope it's good news.

    Better get an early night I think. Looks like Dusty is on a mission this week night night

    Evenin' all,

    thank you for the thread, love the new list!

    DH is 50 on Tuesday, so I doubt much will be done then, we both have the day off work & I have a surprise planned for the afternoon & evening. ;)

    Clear and wipe table
    Wipe the work tops

    Deep Cleaning
    Clean the extractor hood
    Clean the hob, under all the dials too
    Give the oven a clean, soak your shelves in the bath to clean - put an old towel under to protect the bath
    Washing all your hoover brushes and filters - dry all thoroughly before reusing

    Decluttering
    Sort out a hotspot
    Sort out all your vases - are there any to rehome
    Sort out all your cleaning stuff, is there anything to use up/bin/replace
    Do you have any pest control you may need for when the bugs awaken?

    Morning all, silly o'clock for me.

    Don't do it all - basics are for most people, Deep Clean and Declutter are just suggestions - choose one of each maybe? Yes you are right with Ed they have no idea if or when he will wakeup but it could take 2 years to know. It seems such an intolerable situation :(

    Cally that is some list for March - good luck

    Morning all - everyone ready for the week ahead? :D

    I must be sad - I find myself hovering round the PC late on Sundays so I can see Monday's list - I cut and paste every day onto a Word document, then I can easily go back and do any bits I've missed.......I know, I need to get a life!

    List looks good today, thank you Dusty and everyone who sorts them! I should manage some of it after work - probably won't get much done towards mid-week as I have 2 school governor training courses booked. Mind you, we have got dinners in the freezer sorted for those two evenings - I wouldn't have had the forethought to do that a few weeks ago - something must be rubbing off!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
    :heart2: RIP Clio 1.9.93 - 7.4.10 :heart2:
    :p I WILL be tidy, I WILL be tidy! :p

    You're welcome - I have Governor training this week too, can't remember what it's on :o What is yours?

    Dealt with some emails. Cold now so going to move and then start the morning wake ups.

    Morning All

    I've sort of slept in after hardly any sleep last night. The dog woke me up at 11.45 barking so I got up and let him out, then I couldn't get back to sleep and just lay there for about 3 hours then just as I was managing to nod off DS got in bed with me as he'd had a bad dream. Needless to say nothing's got done so far this morning apart from me getting dressed so I'm going to stick the WM on, I think DS's trousers are in the TD so they need ironing and I've got to take the dog out by which time it will probably be time to go to work.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning ladies,

    I'm thinking of you Jue - I really hope you get the tooth out today.

    Thank you for the list Dusty. The kitchen is looking pretty good after the party yesterday so I'll get on with some decluttering.

    I'm another one who's had a terrible night's sleep - no idea why but I've tossed and turned all night.

    We celebrated DD2's birthday yesterday. She loved her purple scooter but it poured with rain all day so she couldn't use it outside. My paintwork has taken a battering! She got some lovely clothes from family members but who do people insist on buying 2 age sizes older than she is???? They completely swamp her. She is 6 and is the size of a 6 year old not an 8 year old.

    Morning folks

    I'm in again. Thanks Juliejim for last week's list and Dusty for this one.

    Decision 1) I think I have a school to name for DS2 but I can't take DH to look around until after the deadline.
    Decision 2) Not to rent my Friend's house whilst we do this one up. Too risky and we would be spending the "doing up" money on rent. I have to tell Friend this morning. :(

    Kids sorted and wm on as usual.

    20 bundles of stuff chucked on ebay.
    Had first non payers :mad:
    Loads more stuff sold locally
