    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.

  • Good morning :D

    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 peaceful :) Emails & 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
    3. Update 2012/13 accounts
    4. Update Brushstrokes accounts
    5. Forms for Council Tax Benefit
    6. Student Finance forms
    7. Order SIL’s birthday present
    8. Advertise for new full-timer
    9. Get planning up to date

    That'll do for now :)

    Congrats Ionafan :j Lovely news :)

    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.

    Thanks Dusty for the lists!

    I'm going to try and be in again, and hopefully more successful than last week! :o 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!! :D

    Personal:
    Ironing (will do while watching a film or two)
    Big shop - either online or make list!
    Wash PE bags (why did DD not tell me this needed doing at the start of half term instead of yesterday :mad:) and other bits

    [STRIKE]Swap storage box out. [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Make beds[/STRIKE]

    Wash up
    Take DD to Mr A for birthday card & the coat she wants to buy IF she's home by 4pm ;)
    Look into eb@ying costs etc (been a while since I sold something)

    Work:
    Replacements/Returns
    Deliveries
    Book list for Thursday
    Type up trial account sheet - maybe this method will work?!?

    Monday - Kitchen
    Basic Flying

    Sweep and mop the floor - couldn't let the mop brigade down :D
    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

    [STRIKE]Decluttering
    Sort out a hotspot
    - Going to make this the swapping the storage box out instead. Hopefully that'll clear some of the hotspot in that cupboard...

    Off to catch up on the rest of my subscriptions while I have another coffee :D

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
  • 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!
