Morning moppers
Ionafan that is such lovely news
Pack ups and morning dispatch here then I'll be back for a HHC before my friend comes in for a cuppa.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Good morning
I am in this week - thanks Dusty for the list
I spent most of the weekend listing on ebay (mainly new, some relisted) So BORING! I hope some of it sells to make it all worthwhile.
I am back to work today - just waiting for Miss T to arrive (they are late - again!) They moved house on Friday, so no surprise I guess. That probably means she has no internet yet, which means my payment will be further delayed (already 2 weeks late :mad:)
My kids are still in bed (insect day) as is DH. It is nice and peacefulEmails & bank accounts have been checked.
My lists:
Monday - Kitchen and DiningRoom
Basic Flying
Sweep and mop the floor - couldn't let the mop brigade down
Clear and wipe table
Wipe the work tops, remove all things which don't belong here
Clean the sink, drainer and taps
Deep Cleaning
Clean the extractor hood and splashback
Clean the hob, under all the dials too
Decluttering
Sort out a hotspot
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?
FROG LIST:
1. Do 2 hours on LJs
2. Look update of MOT and diarise can’t find MOT cert

I'm in. Thanks Natty for last week. First week of flying in the new house, and it looks Sooo much better.
Dusty Thanks for this week. Even if it means I have to get out the mop.GC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500 -
Thanks Dusty for the lists!
I'm going to try and be in again, and hopefully more successful than last week!We did manage to munch a frog though, DD and I decluttered her bedroom on Saturday. It took all day, but we went through ALL her toy boxes, ALL her stationary (she has more than me and thats saying something :eek: ) and all her toiletries. She did most of it, I just sat there and advised when she wasn't sure, and whacked a timer on when she started getting distracted. Nothing like the threat of everything on the floor going in the bin in 5 minutes to get her moving
:rotfl: So a box of stuff for rehoming (eb@y or charity shop), a box of recycling, a binbag of rubbish and a shoebox of "keepsakes" stored away and her room is much tidier, she can put her hands on almost anything, and she earned £5 as a reward
Now if she can keep it like this for the next few weeks I'll be happy as it'll allow me to get in there and deep clean the room!
ionafan - Yay!!
Personal:
Ironing (will do while watching a film or two)
Big shop - either online or make list!

Thanks to Dusty and Natty.
Mummyof5 and Mrsgibbs hope you get on ok at hospital.
The Great Up Helly Aa clean up went well. 4 black bags went out. Toilet was in great shape and was left in good condition considering a whole load of vikings used it. I enjoyed myself at the night time festivities managed until 12am on bin duty on Friday then went home, rest of island were there until 4am. Saturday voluntary bar stint until 10pm then headed home.
No Vikingness this week so headin down to OH's to see if can get health sorted and will be flying there.
Ionafan congratulations!Sealed Pot Challenge 6 - 20580 -
