    I'm in - shed loads to do before Saturday, but must commence with quiet flying as my sister is sleeping in the LR.

    Noticed the outside drain wasn't draining properly so investigated this morning..._pale__pale_ - when I lifted the grate the length of hair/grease/muck was 18"-2'! OOhhhh it was disgusting!

    Still it's all sorted now and the muck was bagged and collected in today's bin delivery.....:T:T.

    Still aiming to get to the bottom of the ironing......

    Pigpen that pic is fab.....

    Thanks for the list, I'm in again this week after a bit of a lazy weekend. Hope everyone had a good time over the weekend and is ready for a new week of flying :) The weather's gorgeous here though which is making me not want to stay inside ;) Have loooooads to do, and also need to make sure the spare room's suitable for my little nephew to stay over midweek. Also have a couple of Open University bits due in on Thursday so need to stay motivated with getting things done.

    Today's list of doom:

    Monday - Bathroom and Hall/Stairs/Landing
    Level one

    Clean the sink and toilet
    HH clearing the clutter from these areas
    Level two
    Hoover these areas and wash the floors
    Clean bath and or shower - I also need to work out how to repair the shower as DH has managed to break it with his hamfisted ways
    Level three
    Wash any winter coats - coats are all clean and hung up, but need to go through them and decide which ones to sell / charity shop and do any repairs needed (DH seems to eat buttons)
    Wipe the tiles and window ledges
    HHI - I am DEFINITELY going to do this today - have been hiding from my ironing for much too long and it's now reaching ridiculous proportions

    Additional:

    - iCMA 44 due in by Thursday
    - TMA 05 due in by Thursday
    - Take Ebay parcels to the post office and get them sent
    - Spare room needs to be made safe for a LO
    - Go through the cupboards and fridge and make a list of useby dates to ensure things get used up rather than wasted
    - Exercise each weekday - Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday - Friday
    - Start taking pictures / making listings for things to sell on Ebay, we are still far too cluttered and if I can make enough profit selling my tat then I'd like to get rid of my MASSIVE dressing table and replace it with something a little more compact (and matching ;))
    - HH paperwork to sort and file

    Collect all the laundry, turn socks the right way for washing (or pair clean socks)
    Clean a window or two
    Wash the outside of the front and back doors


    I've been spending some time over on the hoarding thread and think I might be another one who's on the borderline of having an issue with holding on to things :o I seem to have accumulated too many things for my current flat, 2 rooms at my dad's church and my mum's shed. I really need to get on top of things as I've not even seen / sorted most of that stuff for 5 years or so, I dread to think what's in there. Hopefully if I can declutter and get on top of my current place then I can start sorting through the other things afterwards.

    FORGOT TO ADD ~~~

    Also well and truely tiddled off with my OH. Went to work at 3pm to come home and find the top of the chest freezer full of dirty dishes, dishes and food in the sink, tins on top of the microwave, rubbish on the side by the microwave and the living room looked like a bomb site. So needless to say I will be taking out some aggression cleaning today

    also its day one of the holidays and my 2 year old is on a mission to spend her day in the cot it seems
    Time to find me again

    Hi there. I've been mia since my last post on Sat night, as woke up early Sunday with a really bad throat again, also with a bad cough and aching joints.

    I pottered a bit yesterday but spent most of the day reading and nodding off, and have been awake every hour in the night. I feel really weak, have only fed cat, birds and got us a cuppa, and, reluctantly rang work - hate letting people down but I'm not well enough to go in.

    OH is going to tidy & do DW and some gardening, while I get a shower and relax.

    Place is not too bad as I have been a good flylady (it does pay off!), so good vibes to everyone, and keep strong vibes to Vanilla - and what lovely pics from Pigpen.

    Thank you Dustykitten for the lists and that is good news about Ed - what good news for his family.

    It sounds like you have been busy bees - and I hope you get some of this sunshine today and get a chance to enjoy it. Bye fir now, x.
