Thrilling Thursday - Bathroom and study!!
[STRIKE]Clear and declutter the desk of doom!![/STRIKE] our desk is clutter free anyway *smug*
Declutter the floors and sofas! hmm...less clear!
Vacuum floors
Dust the fluff away
Wipe over the sofas/chairs/desk etc
Scrub the bath, shower, basins and loos
Scrub down the tiles
[STRIKE]Wash any bath mats, shower curtains etc that are in need
[/STRIKE] no washing, still no machine
Clean the windows and mirrors
[STRIKE]Delete 50 unwanted emails!
Defrag the pc
[/STRIKE]
Clean out the vacuum cleaner.. wash the filters etc make sure all are dry before rebuilding! - you're supposed to wash the filters :eek: definitely needs a new bag, I'll do that.

My list for Thursday
Collect gig ticket
Sort out baskets of clean washing into to iron and to put away (iron the ironing and put away the put away!)
HHI

In other news for us I got my PPI refund :money:that has covered the cost of our new washing machine so we didn't have to dip into other pots and has allowed me to top up our emergency fund ready should we have future problems. I'm paying a bit into my credit card but as I'm on 0% APR at the moment anyway with plans to cover the debt before that runs out but we don't have an emergency pot I feel that's the best thing to do with the money at the moment. Such a relief though to have the washer paid for like that!

Toe healing vibes to Pigpen. I feel your pain, having broken one of mine last year while flying although I wasn't carrying a hatchling at the time. Jaw-healing vibes to Skint, the thought of having to start all over again is depressing beyond compare. LW: I can remember how relieved you were last time when you thought you'd found another [STRIKE]sucker[/STRIKE] volunteer.

Hiya - I"m being cheeky and using Honey Bear's post! I also broke my little toe last summer and, for a little bone, it was SO painful. Good healing vibes, Pigpen.

Welcome to lampshade. Like everyone says, use babysteps, and start in a small way - it's amazing how much inspiration and support come from this lovely site. My two-pennyworth is to recommend spending even 5 or 10 minutes 'putting the house to bed' at night - tidying cushions etc, removing rubbish, washing up or stacking the DW, wiping the kitchen surfaces - and if you've an early start the next day - get your coat, bag, money, paperwork etc ready. It really does help!

This is my 'toast and cuppa before work' time; today I've cleaned the bathroom, sorted a pile of paperwork and papers, and de-cluttered, and boxed up a huge pile of art stuff to go to my niece this weekend. OH is going to clean the bases of the kitchen units this aft and I'll clean the conservatory when I get home.

Good vibes and good wishes to everyone, R x

I'm pleased to report that my skirt is now repaired and back on its hanger in the wardrobe.:T Thanks for the company mrs mp - how'd you get on with your buttons? - and the promise of a kick HB.;)

I don't know what your Step Plan is, btw HB, but I shall be looking for a post saying you've done it.;)

Rowan Tree if I was near you, I'd happily repair your cat's toy; I'm fine with doing repairs for others, it's just my own stuff that sits there gathering dust!:D

Afternoon all.

Had a bad night here, didn't get to sleep until gone 4.30am, then from 6am until 10am when I gave up and got up, I was disturbed by numerous things, including remembering that a customer had sent me a text order on Saturday I hadn't written up so its a blooming good job I got distracted by videos etc about that December festivity and didn't do paid stuff last night

So I've decided that we'll run errands tomorrow instead of today and tomorrow. I'm shattered and likely to get shopping-rage the way I'm feeling despite 3 cups of coffee. This will also save me £4 in bus fare but means setting the alarms tomorrow so we don't sleep in.

Whats left of todays plan:

Change beds
Baths for both of us
Wash up - DD
Laundry x 4 loads (including bedding I hope!)
Paperwork - DD, she can finish sorting through her old school work and put all the paper recycling out that she's creating
Paperwork - me, paid stuff, fix something for DD on her homework so she can get it printed, finances, email
Tea - going to see if DD wants to attempt to make something other than pasta or pizza :rotfl:


Other flying can wait until Saturday while DD is out with her dad. Right, I'm off to chase DD into the bath, strip my bed, and get the first wash load on. :wave:
