    Evening! Not been in work today as I had an awful upset stomach last night resulting in about 3 hours sleep! Feeling much better now but not allowed into work tomorrow so have an unexpected day off to catch up on some work and decluttering.

    Good to see some newbies and returners on the thread :D
    Froddington - are you another teacher? I still haven't started my reports :/

    I am indeed and haven't started the reports either - thankfully, mine don't have to be in until 6th July and I only have 10 to do!

    Ammonite - I have a folder for each thing (utilities, car, house, medical, mortgage, etc. and new papers go in the front and old ones can be taken from the back to be shredded. Can't say I keep on top of it all the time but I have a tray for any papers that need filing so I know where everything is!

    macpep - sorry about kitty x

    About to clean out 2 cages of furries ............

    I'm feeling so much better today managed to complete todays list yes COMPLETE:) well I've not ironed(there wasn't enough to justify warming the iron up) and I decided watching the footie with DH would be a nice idea:) no plants either - cant bear them inside!

    Mine are due tomorrow at 9am - did one class set yesterday and have one more to do. Around 26 in each, although I only need to comment on one subject. Somebody please slap me for not starting them sooner. :o Don't think I'll ever learn. :(

    Meeting at the new school after work (looks impressive, although it's not quite finished), then home to feed boys and myself. Collect DH from bowling, then take DH and friend (who can't walk) to club. DH got DS2 ready for bed while he was in and DS1 helped his brother declutter for half an hour. :T I've almost finished tidying the kitchen after tea, so it's time for a cuppa and my reports. Will update list tomorrow night.

    Hope everyone's ok, as there's no chance of me reading back. x

    I always leave things til the last minute too :o I may only have 10 reports but I have to comment on 12 subjects for each child! My aim is to finish their assessments tomorrow so I can start on reports at the weekend.

    Both sets of furries now in clean cages and munching on fresh peas!

    Spose I should update my list (not that I did anything much today!) .............

    Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Clear and wipe worktops - I rearranged these last week, so this is much easier. But there is still too much stuff out.
    Clear and wipe table - I swear it was clear for 5 minutes last week :cool:
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Clear and mop floors[/STRIKE]
    Clean hob
    Level Three
    Sort a cupboard or drawer - I did three four cupboards and two drawers last week... and half a cupboard in the utility on Sunday. So I need to think carefully about which one to do next so it really counts.
    Wipe cupboard/drawer fronts
    Dust any dusty bits - this shouldn't be too bad in the kitchen!
    Extras
    Wipe lampshades - none in kitchen, but the hall light fittings need a good clean
    Deweb ceilings
    Catch up on any phone calls - call dentist to get filling checked before hospital admission. I don't want to swallow it!

    It's never-ending isn't it? :(
