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).0 -

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!!!0 -

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.

Hotspot will be the lounge as that needs tidying and hovvering up.0 -

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!Grocery Challenge (2 adults 2 kids)

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
