    Thanks ladies for the lists. I'm in this week, I have until a week Tuesday to get the house like I want to come home to. My exam is the day after we get home which was bad timing (wasn't released when I booked) so I'll be revising too & want it calm enough to just feel settled when I get home apart from the laundry! Kitchen is a tip so that's a good start for me. Did a little in the sitting room/dining room today, 6 hours ish made a dent

    Ok my extras for tomorrow

    Complete expenses form!
    Meal plan - must use up more before we go
    Packing list & essentials to buy list
    Sort a box of paperwork
    Download the books I need onto iPad

    Gunsandbanjos hope your precious brave DD is ok xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    GnB hugs for you and LO, hope she is home again soon

    Piggers what don't you like about the list?

    Didn't get to the ironing but have washed a duvet and put it on the line. Going to refeed the WM and then to bed. I want to be in my Rabbi's garden by 9am before it gets too hot.

    Monday - kitchen
    sweep and mop the floor.. you know this takes about an hour due to the sheer size of the room?
    Put away 5 things
    Wipe your work tops


    Everything else is done or not relevant.. my bathroom is beautiful.. nothing in there cluttering it up, I sorted it all and threw most of it out!

    I also have 6 items to parcel and post
    2 redeliveries coming.. hopefully Tiddles new boots (a mere £73!!)
    and I need to make cake.. best do that first actually I am a messy maker of caker!

    AF has bugled off so hopefully I shall have energy to move tomorrow and time too!

    Morning all - a nice sunny one today!

    God up before 6 to dosome more ironing - I did quite a lot last night - first time I've ever had sweat running down my neck whilst ironing - yuk!! Got a few more bits done today, every littile helps and it's that much less to do tonight.

    Got a bit of a head start on the list for today, DH mopped the kitchen for me last night and it's not too untidy - can always be inproved though!

    Off for the shower in a minute, will be a busy day - hoping for a good outcome for my manager's mum today - she's recently been moved into a home as she has dementia but is a sweet lady - I miss her phone calls 'Is X there? Have I got the right day, not a weekend?' Then we would have a chat and she would attempt to guess which one I was (I have met her a few times). Good luck for the Hip replacement today Mrs X!
    :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

    GnB hope your DD is ok and will be home soon.
    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.
