    I predict a day of looking out of the window and waiting for the postie - according to my e-mail from Royal Mail my Olympic tickets are being delivered today!

    Oh exciting, must see if I have mail :D

    Been to GP with DS3 about his apple allergy, over and hour's wait, waste of time too. Still got bread whilst we were out and treated him to a bacon roll at the bakers for being so patient. It is tipping it down here.

    Plan:
    Return tables to school (during a dry spell:cool:)
    [STRIKE]Dust our BR
    Sort DS3's clothes
    Dust DS3 bedroom[/STRIKE]
    Clean shower room
    Dust DS2 bedroom
    Clean bathroom
    Look at presents for Mum's birthday
    Help DS3 with school project
    Make soup
    Make cake

    Trouble is lacking any GUAG :p

    After just one day of slacking, I feel like the house is in ruins again!

    Same here! Must make a concerted effort to find it.

    Well done, bossy! Our bedroom is on my list for this weekend. Not a complete overhaul, but having it tidy will be progress.

    Another late start, as I really seem to need these lie-ins. Last one today, though, as it will be a busy weekend. DH has gone shopping with his friend and I hope he'll finish cleaning the bathroom later. DS1 has promised to help with DS2's room and I'll get on with kitchen/Dining RoD. At least that's the plan. Must also make some mash to top the cottage pie and it's DS2's swimming lesson at 5.30.

    Monday - kitchen
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Wipe your worktops
    Wipe cupboard/drawer fronts
    Sort out a cupboard
    HHC outside (while the weather seems reasonable)
    Bank Holiday Tuesday - Master Bedroom (leaving this for the weekend)
    Hoover floor and landing
    Strip, wash and replace bedding
    Sort floordrobe
    Sort out a drawer or wardrobe
    Fill a charity bag
    Wednesday - Living Room
    Sort magazines/newspapers
    Clean behind furniture
    Dust all dusty bits
    Thursday - Bathrooms and conservatory/study/etc
    Clean toilet and sink
    Hoover/mop floors
    Dust any dusty bits
    Clean tiles/walls/skirtings
    Wash shower curtains
    Clean the plughole
    Friday - Children's rooms
    Strip, wash and replace bedding
    Hoover floors
    Dust and dusty bits
    Clean under the bed!
    Clear a hotspot or two
    Own List
    [STRIKE]HHC LR[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]hoover stairs[/STRIKE]
    meter readings
    pay cc
    update budget and consider lidl/costco shop and approved food order
    make mash and assemble cottage pie


    Will do a HHC from 11.15 to get me started!
    And another from 12.10!

    Monday - kitchen
    [STRIKE]Wipe cupboard/drawer fronts[/STRIKE]
    Sort out a cupboard

    Bank Holiday Tuesday - Master Bedroom
    [STRIKE]Strip, wash and replace bedding[/STRIKE]

    Wednesday - Living Room
    HHI
    [STRIKE]Hoover stairs[/STRIKE]

    Thursday - Bathrooms and conservatory/study/etc
    [STRIKE]Hoover/mop floors[/STRIKE]
    Wash bathmats, shower curtains, etc
    [STRIKE]Clean the plugholes[/STRIKE]

    Friday - Children's rooms
    15 mins
    Sort uniforms for Monday (nursery bags to do)
    [STRIKE]Strip, wash and replace bedding[/STRIKE]
    30 mins
    [STRIKE]Hoover floors
    Dust any dusty bits
    60 mins
    Clean under the bed!
    Clear a hotspot or two[/STRIKE]
    Extras
    [STRIKE]HHC in chosen room[/STRIKE]
    HH me-time

    Challenges

    [STRIKE]Clear out bathroom vanity unit / storage.
    Empty my cupboard, clean, organise, put clothes back (had a sort).
    Sort top of DDs cupboard.
    Ditto DS.[/STRIKE]
    Sort spare room storage.
    [STRIKE]Sort garage (again)[/STRIKE]

    So I moved back into MY OWN ROOM lol and now I have put spare room back. It has a pull out guest bed, so that is back under and looks like a single. Hoovered all round, including skirting, with tools. Dusted and cleared windowsill. There is a big shelf unit that is on my challenge list, but I now have space to do it, so might be my Sunday job.

    Loving this challenge, I have got loads done and the house looks tip top. Kiddies are out with granny and gramps and they are feeding them, so no cooking, hence no kitchen mess. Yaay. And we are going to my aunts when they get back, so no untidies!

    Also, would like to let you know, my memory bears arrived today. They are beautiful. I cried buckets. The lady made one for each of the children out of separate sweaters of their daddy's. And, because I'd explained why, she also made me a tiny pocket sized bear, with a mix of both sweaters. I'll add a pick if ever I can upload to photo bucket, the upload button is hiding from me...

    Hugs Bossy - they sound lovely.

    Well I'm working through my conservatory which is just a bombsite - in fact there was just a pathway through from the DR to the outside - now there isn't even that! But I have got a corner!
