Hi all

If it's gone it's done

Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Basic Flying
Deep Cleaning
Clean the extractor hood and splashback

Decluttering
Sort out all your vases - are there any to rehome
Do you have any pet pest control you may need for when the bugs awaken?

Tuesday - Hall, Stairs, Landing and study/Family Room or similar
Basic Flying
Deep Cleaning
Remove any marks from the walls/paintwork - the magic erasers work well
Give keyboard and mouse a good clean - photograph your keyboard on your phone, remove all the keys and wash in warm soappy water - when dry put back (glad you took that picture!)
Go on a cobweb hunt, is it dusty behind your desk

Decluttering
Sort out that pile of papers/magazines/catalogues and recylce what you can
Sort out a stationery or desk drawer - do you need all those rubber bands and envelopes

Wednesday - Bathroom and airing cupboard
Basic Flying
Clean mirrors
Wipe any dusty surfaces/window ledges
Deep Cleaning
Give the tiles a good wash and shine
Hoover out inside your airing cupboard and wipe anything that is dusty
Clean your grouting
Deal with any mould

Decluttering
Sort out the airing cupboard rehoming anything you had forgotten was in there
Declutter one of your 'products' onto your body/face/hands as appropriate and have HH me time
Another HH on paperwork, lots of people don't have council tax or water bills to pay this month (usually 10/12 payments). Can you save any of this extra cash, pay off a bill etc.

Thursday - Bedrooms - you choose which one
Basic Flying
Change the bedding
clean the floor
HHI (if you iron)
Deep Cleaning
Wipe the window ledges and clean a window or two
Hoover your curtains and blinds
Dust lightshades and bulbs

Decluttering
Sort tights, socks, rag-bagging any which have shrunk or are thread bear
Sort your stash of wrapping, presents, cards to remind you what you have got/need or do not need.

About to HHI.

Hugs, spoons, love & light to all

Thanks everyone for your support and understanding, this is the "easy bit", as in the fullness of time when Mum passes (she is 4 years older than my Dad) the house will have to sold, but not until it has had 3 weeks full time flying and decluttering, followed by a good lick of paint.

Busy day tomorrow with Glucose Tolerance Test for me, followed by DD3 having tooth extracted ready for braces,(the letter with address and phone number on is missing, so I need to ring around for the details in the morning). I might have to do my room rather than tackle DD2 room, but we shall see how we go:o

[STRIKE]Go on a cobweb hunt, is it dusty behind your desk[/STRIKE] study out of bounds

Decluttering
[STRIKE]Sort out that pile of papers/magazines/catalogues and recylce what you can[/STRIKE] recycling upto date, took two buckets of glass jars to bottle bank

Morning all. I have just literally rolled the sleeves up on my dressing gown to be ready to tackle today. Off to get pastry chilled ready for quiche tonight, do last nights washing up and walk the dogs.

Glad HBs dog is better.

Have a great day everyone.

Going to Edinburgh tomorrow! :T

Good morning everyone :wave:

Minimal flying done yesterday morning - just a quick S&S all round the house before I had to go out at 8:45, but it was enough to put back the sparkle; also 1x WM which I hung out in the afternoon sunshine

Said sunshine then showed up all the streaks on the south-facing windows, so I had to do some extra cleaning and clambering up and down stepladders made my knee painful again :mad:

I have been running at high speed for the past few weeks and yesterday the broken nights and early mornings finally caught up with me, so I slept most of the rest of the afternoon and evening and still managed not to wake up until 6:00 this morning

My DH left the hot tap in the kitchen running for about 15 minutes yesterday evening before I heard it, and this morning I have gone into the garage and found that he left not only the light but also the convector heater on all night. I have told him the mice sent their thanks for the heat and light and he replied, "I haven't seen any signs of mice." I am not amused :eek:

On the bright side, the sun is shining already, the little tête-à-tête narcissi on the patio are nearly out, and the garden is full of snowdrops. It's going to be a beautiful, if cold, day.

(((Hugs))), spoons and sticks to all who need them, especially Skint Breeder and Wendywitch.

Morning all

Bit of the paid stuff to do this afternoon and an earl meeting tonight.

Concentrating on getting the dining room/office tidy and cleaned this morning and I need to buy some milk at some point.

DH not having a good day, bike flat tyre, broke the side door window trying to get the other bike. His car has had a flat for weeks.

Right DS3 is out of the shower so it's my turn.
