abis21

Hello,

I've read along with a couple of your threads before and yesterday I actually joined in, and am so pleased with myself so thought I would report back to you all

Thursday - Bathrooms & Landing
Level One
[STRIKE]Clean floor right into the corner[/STRIKE]
Level Two
[STRIKE]Clean baths/sinks/showers/toilet[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Wipe all dusty surfaces[/STRIKE]
Level Three
[STRIKE]What is living on your landing and do you want it to[/STRIKE] Nothing there, but it does need hoovering
[STRIKE]Gather laundry from around the house[/STRIKE]
Do toothbrushes/sponges etc need changing? Need to buy new sponges at the weekend

[STRIKE]Deal with emails/phonecalls/post[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Bung some moisturiser on your hands, feet, knees, elbows etc[/STRIKE]

I also washed the net curtain, ironed it and re-hung it which included fixing the hook properly in to the wall (DH was meant to do this the other day). I sanded and re-varnished the windowsill which has been looking very scruffy for a while. I also cleaned all the grout up properly too and touched up the walls with paint which is a job that has needed doing for a long time too.

I stood back and looked at it all when I was finished and was soooooo proud. I think it may have just spurred me on to get going with the other rooms.


Friday - Little bit of everything
Level one
Hoover anywhere that needs it
Level two
[STRIKE]S&S sinks and toilets[/STRIKE]
Dust pc/laptop screens/decrumb the keyboard
Level three
Change any beds in need (including pets)
[STRIKE]Try to get outside for 15 minutes, sweep the path, clean the cat flap or just enjoy the start of autumn[/STRIKE]
Declutter/ebay/recycle at least 5 things - This is a main thing I need to work on, so will challenge myself to 10 things today (I find this job so dull!)
Extras
Catch up on mending
Do some crafts/puzzles/something you enjoy
Make a list of just 5 things that you will achieve in October

Abis welcome and well done on what you have achieved so far.

Giving myself 5 minutes on here then back to it, I want as much done before the weekend as possible.

Hugs to anyone who's feeling less than fab today.

Two frogs have been tackled this week, one I'm happy I've done as much as I can and the other really, really scarey one has been started. I've been putting it off for six months, fretting about it every single day so it's a relief to have taken the first step this morning.

I'm off out for lunch now which is highly unusual. I feel in need of a bit of girl talk. Have a good day, everyone.

Just had to look up what frogs were (in relation to this obviously :rotfl:) Well done for doing 2 frogs :T:T

My frog definately has to be selling things. I have piles and piles of things ready to ebay, but so put that task off for as long as possible. I am going to do it straight away today tho when I get in (and because I wrote that down I can't back out of it now) :cool:

Hello

welcome Abis, what a great start!

We have decluttered a bag of crackers as we went to feed the ducks. Wandered round the "pond" and into the woods for a mini adventure, played on the swings in the rain, then back to the car just in time before the heavens really opened.

Making use of our wellies and raincoats. A good time had by all. Kiddies are fed and having a quiet hour watching cbeebies.

I'm shattered. Had a few hours in spare bed last night to get away from the wrigglers, but the littlest one came looking for me at about 5.

Not a lot done today, other than keeping on top of kitchen jobs. Conservatory is trashed - covered in toys...

Thank you Pigpen xx

work done, dh fed and decluttered back to work, got to nip down the hole in the wall now then hope to get as much as poss done before 6, thats when the weekend starts.
DS2 is going to his sisters after school for 'happy hour' apparently his version fun time with big sis she lets me watch a dvd and eat junk. reality, she gets him to do his home work with her then watches a film with pizza, pop and cakes she makes. every family should have one like her she really does make my life easier.

I am sill here but not really flying in a cleaning way. Trying to declutter and make cash instead but I keep seeming to hit a brick wall. We had a new cleaner start last week as we weren't happy with the old one and the house is so much cleaner now

I know quite a few of you have a bread maker and use it regularly, can anyone recommend one? After chatting to mum the other day I think this would be a good present for her for a date in December! I have no idea about them though so would like some advice.

Found a website I thought I could sell some books on but they don't want any of the ones I have so need to re-think what I do with them. Any ideas?

Also going to give Ebaying a go but have never sold many things on it. After tonight I will have a few things but want to wait for one of these free-listing thingys if possible (how much difference does it make?), how do you get things ready?
