    just given living room a quick wipe down a bit dusty plus chair dog sits on was looking grubby.

    bed stripped off when i got out of it this morning,now in washer.

    Morning all :wave:

    Don't think I'm going to get much on the list done today as I have an appointment this morning and I'm out swiming with the kids this PM. Will put up the list and try to get as much done as I can, but think that it may just be a case of swish/swipe and laundry today, along with the 'must dos'.

    Tuesday, Master Bedroom & Landing

    Vacuum floor in bedroom and on landing
    [STRIKE]Remove bed linen and wash, replace with fresh[/STRIKE] -did this yesterday
    [STRIKE]Clean window & wipe windowsill[/STRIKE]doesnt need doing
    Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs
    Wipe doors and handles
    Choose one HOTSPOT to clear, even if only for 10 minutes


    Must Do

    Post off Ebay stuff
    meal plan for month
    shopping list for main shop
    phone college


    Have a good day, everyone.

    :grouphug: to all this morning. I'll catch up on the thread later when I have a coffee break ;)

    Since it's the masterbedroom today I'm going to skip Lil_me list and get on with some other jobs that need doing. Basically a couple of errands, but it's benefits day which means that the post office is going to be heaving :rolleyes:

    So my list for today looks like this :
    • Dailies
      • Beds
      • Bathroom S&S
      • Dishes
      • Kitchen S&S
      • WM - only a cleaning cloth one to do today and thats only as they haven't come out clean after being used to clean the kitchen floor:o :D
      • WATER GARDEN
      • [STRIKE]Packed Lunch out of fridge[/STRIKE]
      • Uniforms for tomorrow
      • Evening Meal - Stew, same as last night BUT only OH had it so I'm going to put it in a pan and boil it down to reduce the sauce which is too watery in the slowcooker.:rolleyes:
    • Ironing
    • Ebay Parcels
    • Wipe Dining table
    • Asda Shop for top up
    • HOT SPOT - Actually going to have a look at DD's bookcase, it's overflowing with books, hama and a sudoku game :confused: I'm pretty sure she's beyond some of those books now, and there's a whole set which she hasn't touched since she got them about 2 years ago so they can go in the top of her cupboard and make room for some reference books she's been given :D
    Right, going to go and make the beds and chase DD :rolleyes: Laters :wave:

    Feeling very sorry for myself. I'm going down the garden to eat worms.

    Poor Maralum - I really DO feel for you. I've been a very bad flyer the last two weeks, but I've been thinking of you and was really hoping I hadn't missed the big day (so to speak!). When are you due?
    And hello again to everyone else - poor you all with lurgies - big hugs from here. We are still post-EColi so getting every single virus possible, but the positive side means that we don't have the misery of being really ill having felt well before. I have to grasp at these straws, you know!
    I haven't done a strike-off list but I did do reasonably well yesterday all external factors considered and should be able to get the bedroom smelling fresh again today - DH's busy patch is winding down and life seems to be a little more do-able!
    Happy flying everyone - it is a beautiful drying day here, I might even get the sofa covers through the wash and on the line!
    Is it home time yet?

    Make fruit baby purees
    Defrost freezer
    Cooked breakie for dinner as very little food wise in the cupboards

    WM - [STRIKE]DH's stuff [/STRIKE] now got a load of babies stuff in, and may wash bibs as well so they are done

    red items are really essential that i get them done today, so i will have to force myself to just get on with it.

    extras:
    emptied hoover
    emptied all airers/clothes folded and put away
    meat out defrosting for dinner

    I don't seem to have a lot on lil-me's list after putting bed changing to friday. So, i may try to tackle the pile of toys in my room that want wrapping up for xmas and birthdays, and then try to get them on top of the wardrobe (although then i will also have to dust up there) :rolleyes:

    Michelle, x

    cor- it's hot, i'm sweating and all i've really done is run the hoover round downstairs. ;)

    Slight change of plan already - just logged into ebay to get address information etc for these parcels and noticed it's a half-fee day on Thursday so listing the stuff thats upstairs for ebay is now added to my list. I will be sick of ebay at this rate...if thats possible :rotfl: :rotfl:

    morning all - haven't had a catch up on thread yet but hope everyone is ok - i often feel bad that i don't seem to thank people or reply but i do read and think of you :o and i always appreciate this thread

    well house is v tidy downstairs after class here last night - i even wiped down cupboard fronts when waiting for kettle to boil to make drinks!! was thinking about what moggins had said about things not taking as long as you think and its true :D

    so far have taken dh to work (10 miles each way so half hour) emptied dw and put going on short wash, washing on line and bedding washed and on line. breakfast cleared and am just about to heave vacuum cleaner upstairs to do bed and bedroom - i am fed up with my dyson as it isn't picking up v well - i used to have a v cheap cylinder cleaner - i paid about £70 for it and it was great!! the dyson is only 3 years old!!!

    and then i think we will pop off to beach, butchers and to visit parents around lunchtime - catch you all later :D
