    Morning,
    On my second cup of coffee trying to motivate myself to phone the insurance company up to except their offer for my car. I've got to find out what happens about the courtesy car, how quick they want it back :( I have so many appointments to get to and not all local I really can't be carless for long :(

    Second load in the TD, WM on, as is the DW. Dog decluttered to the garden and cats fed.

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room

    Basic Flying

    Wipe down all worktops, remove anything that shouldn't be there.
    Vacuum floor, mop if hard floor - don't forget pick up anything that shouldn't be there and rehome.
    Clear and wipe down dining room table.
    Deep Cleaning
    Clean kitchen cupboard doors, don't forget kickboards.
    Wipe and shine kitchen sink, don't forget the taps and the gunky area at the bottom of the taps - I want you to see your faces in those shiney taps
    Clean kitchen window making it sparkle, don't forget to clear the windowsill of unwanted gumph!!
    Decluttering
    HHC - put on some lively music and have a bop around while doing this.

    Good morning everyone :beer: Thanks to Dusty and Natty for the lists :A I'm going to take a look at Dusty's Declutter Missions from last week, as I wasn't here to do them :)

    I have a kitchen fitter starting tomorrow, so I'll be in the kitchen removing drawers and cupboard contents to the dining room - wish me luck :D

    Maybe the rant had something to do with it...

    DH has just rung me from work. Apparently Friday is ON again, as his manager has found a computer record with the missing information.
    Still :mad: at HR for causing us a miserable weekend.

    I have promised to make cakes for DH's colleagues locally, who have been really good to him. I doubt that my cakes will be up to Mumof5's standards as regards decoration, but I do make a mean iced coffee sponge with walnuts and glace cherries (traditional celebration cake in our family) and a really moist chocolate cake decorated with chocolate ganache and Sm@rties which should go down well with the troops :)

    I know exactly what you mean about EAs visiting, toochoosey! That's what finally got my house in order!

    Back to flying:
    - [STRIKE]S&S bathroom[/STRIKE]
    - [STRIKE]tidy bedrooms[/STRIKE]
    - hoover all through upstairs
    - put tonight's meal in SC
    - empty bins
    - wipe down kitchen cupboard doors
    - S&S kitchen - half done
    - [STRIKE]tidy lounge[/STRIKE]
    - pack 3 parcels
    - tidy study
    - dust all downstairs windowsills, fireplace and TV
    - hoover all through downstairs
    - tighten loose screw on kitchen tap
    - wash kitchen floor if necessary - I don't think it needs doing today but I'll check as I hoover
    - WMx1
    - sweep sunflower seed husks off patio (left by the Magnificent Seven)
    - carry on with more paperwork

    Anyone with me for a HHC starting at 9.15?
