Dry washing in, wool wash on which I'm waiting to put out. Hooks put up on the bedroom door, so I can sort out jewellery later. Charity bag started. Lots of emails saying yesterday's Internet orders have shipped, so that's a few more things on their way to being sorted. Have been to my waxing appointment and eaten lunch, so once the washing is out I guess I should do some more work...0

Afternoon everyone, and welcome to all newbies and returners.:)
Sagaris - hope the stiffness eases and you haven't done too much damage to yourself with the fall.
Dustykitten - sending you patience vibes. Mothers are special, but sometimes specially trying.
I'm in for this week, but starting slowly as for some reason I'm exhausted today - slept all morning and not started flying yet. Think I maybe overdid it at the weekend.
Monday - kitchen and dining room
level one
Clear and wipe work surfaces, only put back what belongs here
- might need to put back what doesn't belong too
Level Two
Sweep and mop floors, Use a cloth to get right into the corners and do any skirings too
Clean the drawer and filter in the WM - how do I find the filter? You guessed - its never been cleaned :eek:
Wipe table and chairs
Level three
Sort out the cupboard you visit the least - do you need all that stuff? Not sure the energy will hold up to this point, but if it does I will finally sort out the baking cupboard so I can put new shelving rack in to make things easy to find.
Wander around downstairs and make a list of all the homeless things which make flying tricky - this will be a long list - and I'm thinking there'll be more work to do on these things over the next few days flying.
15 minutes wiping (inside fridge/doors/small appliances etc) - will give toaster a thorough clean. Every time its switched on it blows the trip switch. If cleaning doesn't sort it I'll bin it.
Also need HHI as didn't do my usual Sunday ironing session.
Off to read some other boards and finish my coffee before I get started.

Hi, I just wanted to pop in to say hi and let you know I haven't disappeared...completely. I have been away a lot with work and had a lot of preparation to do with a kind of promotion interview. That is all over now and I am on the last week of 2 weeks off. I had planned to come back in properly this week but I have some work to do before I am back next week...kind of to help with promotion prospects so need to concentrate on that. As you can tell it is not going that well and so that is why I have popped in here

I am making my own lists daily at the mo as there are some things I need to do/catch up on but my main effort is towards this work, I want to finish it by the end of Thursday so I can have 3 days to do what I want before I go to work.
Hope everyone is well, hopefully I will be back full time in 2 weeks.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1931.07/£2700

afternoon all , happy birthday lady liberty x x x
not done much at all so going for hhc NOW lol xx0 -
Hello ladies, have been lurking for a while now and wondered if I could possibly join in please... you all seem to achieve so much and I'm hoping I can do the same!
So, with me being a newbie and all that, I am not going to set my sights too high this week and am aiming to achieve level 1 every day (any more being a bonus).
Here's to getting organised... :T
PS. Bit of background - I'm married with 2 children - DD (15) & DS (11) and I work full time.0 -
Level 1 is good, millymolly. Just start where everyone else is, no need to try catch up as all e rooms come around again next week.
I started in feb, and doing just a bit each day has got me in good shape, good habits, and when I can't do much, the foundation is already there so I'm already ahead, IYSWIM?
Good luck and welcome xBossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
Monday all finished :j:j:j
I need to do some ironing today and I will try to hoover through as well as the littlies took crisps and things up the stairs yesterday, which I don't normally allow, and some have been crunched underfoot :mad: I also really want to get a frog list done
The things that need to get done here are quite big though, so I might have to do things like 'gloss kitchen door' then 'gloss other kitchen door' and so on so I can think of it as lots of small jobs instead of a few days worth of glossing 
Anyway, I am babbling, going to do some meal planning, studying, ironing etc...it never ends!Be the change you want to see in the world - Gandhi
