    One load of washing done and on the line. When the weather is as good as this I feel like I want to wash everything but I've already done it all!

    Polished living room, will vacuum after I've watched Corrie. I work evenings so I catch up the next day.

    And that's about it really. I do my bedroom on Fridays. It's my end of the week treat to have a lovely clean bed on a Friday night :)

    (Oh, and I've prepared stuff ready to cook at lunchtime).

    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 -

    Mine wasn't last week until I remembered I hadn't washed the filters for a couple of months - well 3 or 4 ....:o

    It is now back to full efficiency - unlike me!!!!

    I am going to stick to my own schedules cos I am used to them now, but if folks don't mind will pop in for inspiration and enthusiasm - always in short supply here.

    Ok - been to ASDA, shopping and recycling, and put away, S & S kitchen, 2 loads of washing hung out and dusted lounge, dining room and study ( yuck). Off to PO now with amazon stuff. Then its the dreaded Dyson time and then off to a school with my youngest dog to demonstrate tricks and stuff to 5 year olds ... his first time so will be interesting to see how he copes with them!!!

    I do like it here!!!

    This morning I have tidied the girls room (the master bedroom) and have put a load of washing on. Will put that on the clothes horse when finished and put dry washing away.

    Just need to dust their room and hoover that and the landing.

    Hotspot will be the lounge as that needs tidying and hovvering up.

    I haven't been able to get online for long for the past few days, but checking in this morning. I did Bathroom yesterday as it desperately needed it, will swap kitchen when bathroom comes up.
    Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Clean floors in these rooms(even if it is around clutter)[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Clean bath, toilet and sink [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Dust PC
    Wipe keyboard and mouse (these usually have more germs on than your toilet so important)[/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Clear clutter from floor
    Wipe down tiles in bathroom
    Clean shower screen/curtain if you have one/if required
    Clean windows[/STRIKE]
    It is very sparkly, apart from tiles, I need to scrub these section by section over the weeks - I've done about a quarter. Our bathroom has a solid concrete roof and the mould builds up dreadfully.
    I am glad it is the master bedroom today, it is still fairly tidy from last week and I have some plans to sort some of the clutter. Hugs to all who need one - I've quickly skimmed the posts, but scared the connection is going to give up again - aaaaarghhhhhh!

    Morning all I return for another day.

    It was so nice to walk into a tidy and clean kitchen this morning so thank you all.

    Washing online. Kids to school. Done weekly exercise walk. Need to go to town to do library/banking/returns/supermarket etc but feel great that I will have 1 hour when I get back pre school run to do dailies and bedroom.

    Have a good day
