    Valli's feeling better and it would be fantastic if these things were achieved list

    iron contents of ironing basket
    empty DW
    peg out washing
    strip my bed and remake
    strip DD's bed and remake
    strip DS's bed and remake
    tidy LR; vacuum round
    clean kitchen
    clean bathroom
    vaccum hall, stairs and landing

    that'll do for starters

    Wow this thread moves pretty fast! Haven't had a chance for more than a skim read so hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine (if they have it). Not a very productive day for me yesterday, so I am sticking with my pit of an office. I'm going to divide it into sections and work on one section at a time, shouldn't seem like such a big job then!

  • Laundry now outside and wm dealing with load 2, breakfast munched and list reviewed. Due to the length of my list still for this week I am going to tackle today in small steps.

    My plan of action for this morning:

    Clear and clean the dining table
    1 hours studying
    Get laundry load 2 outside and get next load in wm
    Give dd breakfast once she is up (I will wake her if she is not up in the next HH)
    Feed the pets and fill up feed bins
    Collect up the rest of the laundry
    Make a start on diary for next month

    I think that is enough to keep me out of trouble this morning.

    The WM is twirling on my second load with three more to go but I need to rationalise Lovely Lodger's first load which is taking up too much line space. It's sunny here - yay! Three beds stripped, all towels gathered from various points in the house and the first bowlful of handwashing is soaking. Today, I think, must be the first day of spring, or something, for me to feel this invigorated.

    I had a breakthrough on the Frog last night, but it's going to take several more days.
    Better is good enough.

    Bins and bathrooms done. Stray documents on the computer filed in the correct folders. Frog avoidance going well.

    4x WM loads on the line, 5th in machine and 2 more waiting. It's not as sunny as I'd like here, but at least it's dry and warm!

    Exchange of contracts on both sale and purchase has been accomplished. Moving on 12th, so packing will start in earnest on Sunday - today I'm sorting removals and utilities (insurance is already done) and tomorrow I must swallow the frog that I've been chewing away at all week. DH is clearing his computer table :D

    Still stressed, but very relieved :)

    Lots of flyladies appear to be on a roll today! (((Hugs))), spoons and sticks to all in need.

    morning all
    hope everyone is well
    hugs good wishes and get well vibes where needed.

    got a load of cuddlies in the wm, the idea is to get them washed dried and given new ribbons etc and get them donated to the school fete before any of the kids notice they are missing
    been in attic and brought a load of cassette tapes down hoping to go through them with DH and cull most of them.

    just going to hang the washing out then ill make a start on the lists

    im playing catch up today as still have lots of stuff from previous days but told mil i wont be round hers today with it being 1/2 term.
    SPC~12 ot 124
