    Thanks for the new list, Natty, and for last week's, Dusty.

    I did very little flying last week, but Monday's list sort-of fits in with what I was going to do anyway, so I will try to cross off some items tomorrow. We haven't got any room properly sorted yet, of course - some rooms are almost empty and others are packed full of unopened boxes.

    If it is fine I also want to do washing and a bit of gardening, now that my shoulder has stopped hurting if I'm careful.

    We had a lovely day out today (apart from dodging several short sharp showers of rain!), starting with a visit to a rose garden; then we attended the retirement party for one of my former teaching colleagues; and finally we ended up at DS2's for supper with him and DDiL2 and lots of cuddles with DGS3. And the best is that we have actually been asked to babysit DGS3 one evening in July :D

    Hope everyone has a good week.

    bossy - I ought to join you in Wii-fitting; will aim to get it all set up again this week so I can start on it at the weekend.

    Oh, and can anyone recommend a good sports bra for larger ladies please?

    Do you know, I never even thought about what I was wearing. I was barefoot, with a long tshirt. Jeans came off because the button fell off :D so I was just wearing a usual bra. I don't think wii fit is high impact generally speaking, so you might be ok without. Not without bra, you understand :eek: but without specific sports type. Speaking as a lady of "boobage" myself :p

    Evening all

    I'm in again this week - looks like the things I didn't manage to do today are on tomorrow's list. ;) Thank you to Natty and Dusty for keeping us going.

    Manic Monday - Kooking Kitchen and Dining Room Dalliance...
    Open the windows and let in the light
    Clean floors
    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
    Sort fridge
    Wipe dining table.. and check the underside..
    Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs
    Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances
    Clean oven if you didn't do it last week
    Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
    Scrub down the woodwork.. skirtings, door frames etc
    Put WM's/DW's on a 'clean' cycle.. make sure those doorseals and filters are clear.. soda crystals and white vinegar
    30 minutes ironing

    That's some list. :eek: I'll only get a fraction of it done tomorrow, but I'll leave things on to see what I can fit in later in the week or at the weekend.

    Busy day tomorrow - in the evening it's the official opening of our new school (we've only been in since last September :cool:). I was going to go, but will cry off if I'm still feeling unwell. Can't afford time off this week.

    I'm in and thank you for the lists ladies

    We thought DH was over his medical probs but it seems not!! Back to the Doc tomorrow for him

    I'll be working on my own lists this week as yet again we're living in a pit - need some serious tidying up done as well as tackling the 3 mountains of ironing
    Projects made for craft fair - 40 :)
    1st fair on 13/4/14 :j
  • Thanks for the lists, Natty and Dusty - much appreciated here.

    Just in from work and back again first thing in the morning. I'll do my best with the kitchen list tomorrow. I actually washed the kitchen window over the weekend for the first time in yonks but what a pants job I did of it! Thank goodness we're rural and nobody but the postman will see it :rotfl: Will have to do it again tomorrow, oh hum .......

    Found the hair dye :j so that will be on the list for tomorrow afternoon, after work but before second school run.

    Off to read my book in bed for half an hour - see you all in the morning.
