Slightly late Greetings, All.:D

I've removed the last of the Dylan-fur from the carpet (specially where I groomed him yesterday), removed the nose-art from the glass doors, and dusted as best I can one-handed.:o

Paperwork is all as up-to-date as I can do; there's an envelope awaiting a cheque Mr LW has to write this evening,;) then we're all done.:T What I must do is remind him if he wants to do any Yule cards, he needs to set aside some time to write them.:whistle:

Skinty your poisonous frogs sound vile;:eek:_pale_ well done on dealing with them (not that you really had a choice, I suppose).:cool:

Honey Bear would I be right in thinking you're glad to see the back of Nightmare Lodger?:D Re the mascara in white pillowcase – I assume it's waterproof? Would make-up remover help? Or is it likely to make a worse mess? Sorry, no experience of this particular problem.:o

Well after some deliberation, I went and bought a steam cleaner after work, I have used it in the kitchen, the dining room and the downstairs loo............so far I'm liking it. It has 2 double sided heads so I don't have to change it when going from room to room. With the mop and bucket, I had a different mopf for the kitchen than the LR and a cloth for the bathroom...........much easier this way, I'm happy. Off to the ironing now, the pile in the DR is making my nice clean floors look messy!!!!! :-)

DS decided to stay at the g/f's last night - so when I woke up for a bathroom visit at midnight allthe lights were on. By the time i had found my phone and put on my glasses to read the text saying he was stopping out I was awake - boy am i paying for it now!

Have done a washload and decluttered the washing up. Have put together a new TV for the DD's room - my sis sent it for their missed birthdays. DD2 has stinking cold and no voice but has gone to work as other member of staff is off!

I want to go to sleep but I better sort out the washing..

Hello all, I'm going to have a go this week. I appreciate that I'm a day late but I'd rather start today while I'm motivated than leave it til I'm feeling lazy next Monday!

I tend to drop in here once or twice a year - each time I'm absolutely convinced that I'll stick to it this time! My inspiration today is that I have a grand plan to have a DVD and pj day, in an immaculate, candle scented home on Christmas Eve. At the rate I'm going, I'll be starting the day with greasy hair and doing last night's washing up before spending 3-4 hours getting angry and crying cos I'm so rubbish at gift wrapping!!! :rotfl:

I'm thinking that, if I start now, I've at least got a snowflake's chance of succeeding!!

Caught up a little on yesterday but this is what's left:

Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room/Area
Wipe & replace small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc (wipe under too, especially the toaster!)
Clean the oven if you missed it last week or it needs it
Clean out and organize one drawer, more if you like

Tuesday - Lovely Living Rooms and Safe Stairs
27 Fling Boogie, you know the routine, grab a bag and clear that clutter! Not needed! I'm actually quite tidy!
Clean out the vacuum cleaner, empty the bag/bucket, clean filters if they are washable MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PUT THEM BACK UNTIL THEY ARE DRY!

Not bad going, paid stuff too, although that was a v early start. Will go make some supper for the kiddies I think. And me!

ETA and I've ordered some dance shoes for dd for when she starts her class in new year, they will wrap up as a Xmas present. I've been a rebel and refused to get pink

• 27 Fling Boogie, you know the routine, grab a bag and clear that clutter! Did this in main bedroom, which didn’t get touched at the weekend. Also hoovered everywhere (including bedside light fitting – DO NOT be tempted to short cut this using vacuum nozzle instead of going downstairs to fetch duster; knocked it off and lampshade smashed).
• Put away everything which shouldn’t be on dressing table and dusted it. Can now see surface.


OOh, am quite please with myself. Still croaky voiced but feeling ok otherwise so managed to get to the gym and do 1 zumba class. Will work up to the other classes next week (normally do 3 on a Tues).
Have also refilled bird feeder, done a load of washing and caught up on Strictly results.

No house stuff planned for this evening other than cooking dinner. Will write a few Xmas cards, start a report for work, do some guitar practice then just feel virtuous knowing I haven't totally wasted my day off like I usually do. Thanks for inspiring me!

I've cleaned the whole house from top to bottom.

Unblocked the hoover, then re hoovered, as it wasn't picking up.

Chatted to next door neighbour, while we were both stood in the garage!!
