    Thanks for the thread Dusty :D

    I'm going to be in this week again. I have lots of paid stuff to get through & I have to run errands tomorrow. DD's lunch tomorrow is sandwiches, crisps, 2 tiny satsumas and oreos, lots of oreos :o She has a club at lunch time when she can't eat properly, and then singing club after school which means by the time she gets home about 4.30-5pm she puts a swarm of locusts to shame :eek: Normally I have some mini bags of biscuits, and cereal bars to put in but I completely forgot that she's eaten them all over the holidays :o Oh well, I'll just get a bus pass tomorrow and that'll speed errands up and mean I can shop a couple of different places to get her a decent variety of stuff. ;)

    Been busy sorting out her school work still today, and tomorrow I'm going to go and see if I can get a nice storage box for her to put all the bits that can't be put in a folder in. I've seen a nice one on the WHS1ths website, which is also where I've seen a nice lever arch folder for her 'KS3' work so thats one shop that is a definite while they still have their sale on ;)

    Thanks for the new list, Dusty. I shall be concentrating on packing this week but want to leave the house and garden tidy for the new owners, so I shall be flying too (though maybe not doing quite the same as everyone else!)
    hugs, sticks & spoons to those that need them, esp CY

    I'll swap a few spoons with you, GI and CY. I think we will all need them for different reasons.

    Hope everyone has a good week. Pigpen, please don't try to fill another 50 binbags just yet - put your feet up for a change!

    Help yourself :) I hope the packing goes well this week.
    My DD1 is packing this week as well, as she is moving out of her flat & back home for the summer, then back in halls in September. We are going to get her Sunday, and most of her stuff is going into storage locally.

    Evening all! Thank you for last week Natty and for this week Dusty.

    My house is in a state - ish! I didn't finish the dribs and drabs from last week but I ate a very very very large frog that was lurking in my understairs cupboard. :j I now have a very clean and tidy understairs - and I pulled out the fridge and freezer, wiped down the mess/wire thingies on the back and cleaned the floors thoroughly, so I'm pretty pleased with myslef. I'm still working on the case studies but taken a few minutes out.

    I'm in with my own listy as it works for DH. :T

    Manic Monday
    Kitchen, Utility, Dining Room
    Level 1
    De-clutter and mop/vacuum floor
    Clear and wipe work surfaces

    Level 2
    Wipe units & large appliances
    Give one small appliance a good clean!
    Pull out a large appliance & clean behind & under it!
    Clean out the fridge thoroughly& check the drain at the back!

    Level 3
    Wipe the table, replace the cloth if needed and dust and de-web!
    Clean door seals, filters & detergent drawers

    Extras
    Wash the windows!
    Wipe over the woodwork
    Clean light fittings

    Now I have to get back to the case studies as I must do them before I can sleep.

    I found out why DS was so tetchy yesterday... He finally told me tonight he was in a grouch (err yes) and then "once upon a time last week, when I was at big school (he doesn't go yet) and you drove to a different school (huh?) and that man came from Harry Potter (whaaat?) then you was there and I was cross with you for getting lost"
    Me "oh, when was this again?"
    Him: "when I was asleep"
    Doh! He's had a bad dream about being left at school! And been in a mood with me all day about it!
    No more Harry Potter for you, my lad!

    Away with the fairies :beer:
