    Walkies done, soggy Yorkie dried. It was sunny when we set out, then someone up there decided to empty out their bath water!:rotfl:

    Sultana and spice buns made for Mr LW's lunchbox.

    Bathroom sparkled; including shower screen scrubbed with white vinegar.;)

    I still need to deal with a load of emails - I "cherry-picked" the important ones to deal with earlier, including one offering me two more three-day dog-sitting bookings.:T

    Back to the grindstone, then.;)

    computer table is dusted wiped and tidied,
    email box is the cleanest its ever been down from 4379!!!! this morning to 57 unread emails, that took a couple of hours so im not letting it build up like that again!
    just ran out and grabbed the washing as it was dry and we had a quick shower that was over by the time id finished running stuff in.

    will plant my bulbs while DH is doing his training tonight and knit while dallas is on.

    need to [STRIKE]defrag[/STRIKE], sew button on, [STRIKE]wash up [/STRIKE] wipe out fridge and sort tea out and nip down shop for bread and bananas then i think the day is done.

    just emptied the shredder box and shredded the entire contents so thats bagged and ready to recycle now. Any junk mail or stuff that needs shredding i store it in the recycling bin till i have a load then either me or one of the boys shreds it all.

    Well after my post this morning I managed to get quite a lot of the lists done and I'm feeling very proud of myself. Not quite managed all the extras and everything from my own list, but I may tackle these whilst dinner is cooking or afterwards.

    abis21 - you have reminded me that I really need to clean my oven. I have bought a cleaning kit to do it ages ago, but I just haven't got round to sorting it out. Perhaps cleaning the oven will go on my extras list for the weekend.

    amyloofoo - hope you have a lovely evening celebrating with your DH

    My extras for today:
    Pick top 3 wedding venues to view
    [STRIKE]Get friend's address[/STRIKE] and post card - will post tomorrow
    Put away summer shoes and dig out winter boots
    [STRIKE]Batch cook soup for lunches[/STRIKE]
    Consider selling on ebay (read about how!)

    Bathrooms done. Still looking for missing bags. 3/4 of one of the cakes I baked are eaten. Casserole in oven.

    I'm so tired. DH told me I had nightmares last night, I have no recollection of them, I guess he's right as I felt exhausted when I woke up.

    Spa day tomorrow with a good friend. I think I will spend most if the day asleep!

    Thanks xxjoxx unfortunately i've worked out its sacroiliac joint pain but have no idea what can have caused it unless one leg has got longer than the other.

    Ah. It could have done if one of the arches of your foot has dropped like mine did:D

    you're all doing very well .. and Dot! Wow! vertical!

    did 2 loads of washing (on E7) and pegged them out with a request hat they be brought in by people who get home in daylight. This was ignored, fortunately it stayed dry in valliland and it's now ironed and airing on the maiden!

    Been on a food tasting - came back a fiver better off with a bagfull of nectarines, peaches, strawberries, grapes and corn cobs:D

    and I am now receiving child support at a (slightly) more acceptable level:D

    I've managed to do jack all in the house this week so far, DH has either been on day off or on lates, by the time he goes to work its time to pick up the kids - does anyone else find that all work stops when the children are home from school or am I just a lazy mare??

    I'm about to write my list down for tomorrow - DH is on earlies so I have from 9 till 3 to get my backside in gear and shift some dust and dirt. Computer will not be going on until I have done at least 3/4's of my list

    Hugs and well dones all round especially to Dot :D

    Full day at Uni today, out at 7:30am back at 7:30pm!!:eek: I was in my PJ's by 8pm!! But I managed to fit in an hour of flying! It's certainly easier doing a little bit every day, and as I'm in by myself this week (OH working in France) the house has stayed clean and tidy-ish! I shall have to fill OH in on flying and get him involved! :D

    Anyway here's my list...
    Dailies:
    [STRIKE]Make bed
    Feed pets
    Walk dogs
    Wash pots[/STRIKE] - MIL did them!!:o
    [STRIKE]S&S kitchen
    S&S bathroom
    Wash a load
    Make tea[/STRIKE]

    Nightlies:
    [STRIKE]Prepare clothes
    Make lunch[/STRIKE] - eating out

    Alternate Dailies:
    Hoover downstairs - will do in the morning - too late for the neighbours now!
    [STRIKE]Clear hotspot[/STRIKE] - none to do :)
    [STRIKE]Disinfect toilets[/STRIKE]

    Weeklies:
    [STRIKE]Mop floors[/STRIKE]
    Hoover upstairs
    Dust
    [STRIKE]Change bed[/STRIKE]
    Do meal plan
    [STRIKE]Clean kitchen[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Clean bathroom[/STRIKE]

    Wednesday - Bathroom & Study
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Clean toilets[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Clean bath, shower, sinks
    [STRIKE]Clear[/STRIKE] and mop floors
    Level Three
    Wipe tiles
    Clear and wipe desk

    Extras
    HH Paperwork - will do this at the weekend!
    Defrag computer - dunno how to do this on a Mac
    [STRIKE]Delete unwanted emails [/STRIKE]- none to delete

    As there's just me here this week, there's no need to clean the bathroom and study as it's still clean! It's amazing the difference the OH makes - no dirty shower, no toilet splashes, no toothpaste all over the sink, no beard hairs all over the floor... I do love him really, just hate his mess! Men hey! :rotfl:
    Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain!:j
