    Thanks for the lists :D I'm going to try and be in this week, apart from 2 lots of going out for books I actually appear to have a rather empty calender this week :eek: I'm waiting for the landlady to send workmen round now I've said that :rotfl:

    I have a few jobs that I need to do and they're going to take me a couple of hours to do, biggest one is to demould the house. I noticed a mark on the wall earlier and rubbed it thinking it was muck, it turns out to be mould and when I shifted the sideboard the wall is sodden and black furry icky mess :eek: So that and the ceiling in the kitchen can be done tomorrow with stuff you paint on while DD is late at school. She's decided to join the singing club, so I wrote it down as glee on her timetable :rotfl::rotfl: She was not impressed :D:rotfl: But it means she won't be home until about 5pm so I'll make sure I have something hot waiting for her tea when she gets in ;)

    Monday:
    Collect books / put cards out.
    Mr Al shop
    Demould
    WM x3 (cleaning cloths, towels, curtains)
    Ironing until its done THEN the list! Monday - Living Room, Hall & Stairs
    Level One
    Clear and hoover floor, under the sofas if you can
    Level Two
    Declutter and dust the mantle
    Dust any flat surfaces including the hearth
    Level Three
    Sort out a neglected drawer
    Tidy away, CDs, DVDs, Books
    Dust all electricals
    Extras
    Bleed radiators as required
    S&S toilets and sinks


    I'm off to sort out the end of the washing that in the TD and then I'm going to bed, I'll iron what is needed of the uniform tomorrow morning, that way it'll all be set up ready to go when I get in from work ;)

  • Evening ladies,

    Big thanks to Dusty for this weeks thread and juliejim for last weeks.

    Aim this week is to remain more on the flight path and not get lost in St Elmo's fire although with the work plan this week there's no telling! Have got a full week with lots of meetings which will mean some evening reading and a trip on Thursday to ionafan's neck of the woods.

    Another one here who has already tested the heating so at least thats a start and dont think we'll worry about the chimney sweep as we only light the fire in the middle room on Christmas day (although i wonder if my dads still got his brushes)

    Ok I'm rambling, hopefully catch up with you all tomorrow

    Morning All

    Well I have no meetings scheduled this week and nothing planned for the weekend so hopefully I'll have more time to do stuff although I've still got a load of paperwork to do. LR is a mess so I suppose I could do a HHC in there now and I think the kids' uniforms may need ironing unless they got the, together last night which they're supposed to!

    Embb - Congratulations!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
