Bathroom and kitchen s&s, nursery bags out, work bag and packup ready, cuppa made, feet up. Just need to lay out clothes for morning, and have a shower and wash my hair.
My own bits are:
[STRIKE]Move work clothes into spare room[/STRIKE]
Dismantle bed
Take up carpet
Dismantle wardrobes
Remove curtains, blinds
[STRIKE]Sort bedding for CS[/STRIKE]
Bedroom fitment to be dismantled is very nearly empty. I will call the council tomorrow to see about bulky waste collections. The bed needs to go as does the wardrobe when taken apart. I have my stepdad coming next weekend, its definitely a 2 person job. He said he's got his toolbox at the ready...Bossymoo

Evening! Today I have more than S & S the bathroom as I've also scrubbed the floor, skirting and tiles and washed the mats, etc.! Need to clean out both furries' cages and then run the vacuum round tonight or first thing before dad comes to sort the hole in my floor!

Bank Holiday Monday
Level One
[STRIKE]Hoover all high traffic areas[/STRIKE] (and mopped)
[STRIKE]S&S kitchen[/STRIKE] very cursory, but the hob and surfaces are clean...
Level Two
[STRIKE]S&S bathroom and toilets[/STRIKE]Also did the skirting boards in the downstairs loo which were filthy.
Pack suitcase for tomorrow still not done... contemplating getting up early insteadhopefully this will be easier when the spare room is done and I can pack on the spare bed
Level Three
[STRIKE]Enjoy the BH with your family. [/STRIKE]Went out for lunch with a friend
Washing up nearly all done. Need to remember to finish it, and to clear it out of the utility room and put it away in the morning, so it isn't in the way of paintbrush cleaning. There wasn't enough to make it worth shoving it in the DW instead
If I'm not going to manage to pack tonight, I guess I should at least make a list of what I need to take with me...0 -

More work admin done...
Really MUST finish the washing up and start thinking about packing...0 -
Today saw a second phase of the clear out - car load to dump and several boxes up to the loft.
Two beds stripped - upstairs dusted and polished ( including dreaded blinds!). Floors swept, scrubbed and vacuumed.
Two Drawers cleared and organised in the kitchen
Got all levels done as well!
But just realised it it too late again to shred the paper mountain!! It will take hours - how does everyone deal with mountains of paperwork that can't go straight in the bin?0 -

OK GreenBee - you start packing, or making a list, and I'll start sorting this bed (ironing, Ebay & general assorted dross!) - deal?
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

Our shredder used to live upstairs no where near where any of the paperwork/mail is kept. We have now moved it downstairs so we can use it as we sort the mail.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200
