    I'm in - day off for me tomorrow, but DD2 back so peace? You must be joking!

    Tons of ironing to do - and fully intend to go swimming! Haven't been today because I went for a free (very MSE) showing of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen - thank you Radio Times. I enjoyed it very much.

    Apart from DD1 I was probably the youngest person there! Is that more to do with the fact that it was at 11am or is this just the average readership of the Radio Times?

    Off to bed now...

    Hi, I haven't had a go since last year but I'm in now :o Just been paid off so trying to use the time constructively - hopefully in a couple of months I'll have a sparkly home (with all the DIY done) and a new job :D

    Yes, I am hopelessly optimistic...

  • I'm this week, thanks very much for the list dusty :A

    I did try to post earlier but it got lost and I had stuff to do......

    Welcome newgirly :T and welcome back mumof2 and gtx :T

    Today I've cooked a roast and 2 crumbles. Washing, drying, putting away, sorting and de-cluttering also done.

    Ok here goes this week!

    Monday - kitchen and dining room
    level one

    Clear and wipe work surfaces, only put back what belongs here
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop floors, Use a cloth to get right into the corners and do any skirings too

    Wipe table and chairs
    Level three
    Sort out the cupboard you visit the least - do you need all that stuff?
    Wander around downstairs and make a list of all the homeless things which make flying tricky
    15 minutes wiping (inside fridge/doors/small appliances etc)


    One thing I MUST do is find the log book for my car so this will be top of the list.

    Late morning/early afternoon I have a hair appointment to highlight/cut/finish my hair so by late afternoon I will be de-greyed, neat & gorgeous-looking - with a big big thanks to my lovely Mum for a fab birthday present xxx

    Night all

    Hi, can I join please :hello:

    I have a fairly messy house, with a lot of clutter that needs sorting, I am useless at being organised and having routines so hopefully with a bit more structure it will all get sorted.

    Welcome and good luck

    Welcome back and happy job hunting


    Ironing all done. Just going to empty DW and dry and put the WM drawer back and then bedtime.

    I'm in. Ofcourse since I decided to join in again, apart from the list, my own personal stuff that needs doing THIS week are:

    * take photo's of all the things I am not happy with in our "new" bathroom, ongoing battle getting things fixed under warranty and write letter of complaint (done with the nice approach over the phone)

    * get order for cards done asap, this involves going through some craft stuff that is lying about

    * make a start on sorting out card making stuff and find permanent storage solutions for it all.

    Not an awful lot then... I better not think about it too much otherwise I won't be able to sleep from worrying about it all.

    I'm in this week too please. Was MIA last week no excuses just Arrghh!!!

    Welcome newgirly and welcome back skint_spice (love the name) although I'm a newbie so haven't met you before but sure you could teach me loads.

    Mumoftwo card making and craft stuff breed daily, every time you turn the light off. Finding tidy storage for it is an impossible task. My craft room is my Room of Doom. I remember back in February I cleared the room a little enough to see the top of the table and was delighted :) however light off and it happens again!

    Maybe I'll wake up later peep into the craft room and the elves from the "elves and the card maker" will have visited. I live in hope!

    Might need a gentle kick up the b*m this week but I'm gonna try. I like starting Monday in the kitchen so that's a good start:)

    Morning All

    Well I was in the middle of making Twinks but then I couldn't find my golden syrup so I'll have to wait until my mate gets up and then go and pinch hers. DS is just moving upstairs so I'll go and get DD up in a min. I'm not going to have any time to do anything tonight so I'll probably be playing catch up tomorrow although I've got a meeting at 7.30 - in fact there isn't 1 night I'm not out at some point this week.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
