    I've put the washing out and put the wm back on. Ds1 has washed up the lunch dishes and Ds2 is tidying up his mess in the living room. Once that's done we're going to go to the post office and then the park. I'm hoping to get my list done when we get back.

    happy birthday LL, welcome to the newbies, especially newgirly, and hello returners.

    I have been off sick for 3 weeks, and really up and down healthwise so have not done much flyladying. Having done a bit before though meant the place hasn't descended into too much chaos. Am hoping to go back to work next week, so thought a bit of gentle flying would get me back into routine. DD was on inset day today so got her to help me ;). Am aiming for level ones, anything else a bonus.

    Monday - kitchen and dining room
    level one

    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe work surfaces, only put back what belongs here[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Sweep [/STRIKE]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
    [STRIKE]Wipe table and chairs[/STRIKE]
    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)

    Extras
    [STRIKE]Empty dishwasher
    Put laundry away
    1 x washload[/STRIKE]
    Mortgage [STRIKE]16/03/2011: £190K 01/01/2017: £107,729.65 [/STRIKE] 01/07/2017: £95,979.89

    ktichen needs wiping down as despite mine and the builders best efforts to control dust by gaffer taping the cat flap shut both sides round the power cable extension lead it has got in. it turns out my double glazing at the back is faulty as had a shower in the kitchen when they hosed down the wall. so that has to get replaced sooner rather than later! it wasnt bad, just enough to go ohhhh carp and grab whatever towels i had to hand. thankfully they have come up clean after being chucked in on a 90 degree wash.

    off to wipe it all down whilst waiting on asda delivery.

    Afternoon all, :hello:
    I'm back in this week so thanks Dusty and Juliejim for the lists.

    Floors in the livingroom and front hall went down over the weekend so another job of the list, so much easier to keep. New sofa should be here friday so all bums shall have a seat at long last..:rotfl:

    So far today i've sweep all hard floors, gathered all dirty washing, folded and put away all clean washing, cleared livingroom floor, cleared front hall floor, wm x 5, dw x 2 and done some tiding in our room. :D

    Updated list if it's gone , it's done...

    Sagaris sounds painful, hope your not to sore.
    Hello all newbies.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Just posting a quick hello all. Don't think I'll get much done this week. DH on annual leave, I'm off Weds, we're out tonight and work is very busy.
    Spend less now, work less later.
