Manic Monday

Flinging and Flying in the family room - living room

15 minutes?

A tidy room LOOKS like a clean room so

[/COLOR]

• remove anything that belongs elsewhere to be rehomed
• wipe over coaster/sticky, icky tables
• chuck out old newspapers etc - recycle!
• quick run round with Henry or Hetty or whatever's on suction duty

30 minutes? as above plus-

• wipe switches, sockets and sticky door marks
• vacuum properly - move that furniture if you safely can
• lift sofa and chair cushions and vacuum under them

1hour? as above plus -

• as above plus complete dusting - don't forget the skirting boards!
• Clean the windows

EXTRAS

• It's almost August so check your diary and see what birthday (etc) cards you might need for the month. Add them, and stamps if you need them, to your shopping list

EXTRA SPECIAL

• Sort out cards for November and December - because trying to find birthday cards (etc) when the shops are chock full of Christmas cards is NOT easy! Add them to your list. Put them in a MEMORABLE place - because we don't want them lost when you need them!

And finally - don't forget your frog list - even if you only nibble on a frog make a start!

Everything's Tuesday

Flinging and Flying in the heart of the home - Kitchen Klean-up

15 minutes?

A tidy room LOOKS like a clean room so

• empty the bin
• open window to let in fresh air
• remove anything that belongs elsewhere to be rehomed
• wipe over the worktops
• quick run round with Henry or Hetty or whatever's on suction duty; or sweep and or/mop as appropriate

30 minutes? as above plus-

• wipe switches, sockets and sticky door marks
• wipe all the cupboard doors and drawers - don't forget the handles
• wipe the microwave outside - put half a lemon, or some lemon juice in water inside, let it run for two minutes then leave the steam to soften gunk, wipe it out

1hour? as above plus -

• make sure every horizontal surface has had a wipe
• wipe the washer door seal
• Clean the windows

EXTRAS

• Empty out ONE cupboard or drawer, wipe it out and put back only what is STILL useful once it's dry

EXTRA SPECIAL

• Start that CHRISTMAS shopping - list all the non-perishables you want to buy (eg cranberry jelly; cocktail cherries for the snowballs - I am channelling the 70s - check today's music!) and EITHER buy one item a week/fortnight OR have the list to hand ready for if you see a bargain!

OR

And finally - don't forget your frog list - EAT A WHOLE FROG today!





I might get some of it done!

DH left for work an hour ago. I'm still snuggled in bed with DD2. It seems a little cooler today so I hope to get a large section of the list crossed out.

No work today. My lady's MIL passed away suddenly on Sunday. I'm not back to work until Friday.

Good day wishes for everyone.

You put me to shame. Still lying in bed.

Ill get up, put the kettle on and have a fly around downstairs before my girls wake then on to the kitchen!

My inside kitchen window is desperate for a clean so ill be going that too.

Thought it was Sunday yesterday just seen the thread chat and realised that I was wrong! Thanks for the lists Valli x

Seen as its Tuesday now it will be a ballet day for DD and a dancing night for me, I can see it far enough already!

Yesterday I did some flying in the kitchen after making scones so its not too bad in there and the LR just needs a wee tidy and Hoover. So I might do the bathroom and my room after OH is oot of his pit. First though coffee!

Plan for a day off sometime during the school hols or one weekend - so; check your meal plan and find ONE dish you can double up on - so that you can make two and freeze one! Check you have enough ingredients - this NEED NOT be done today - make it fit with your meal plan! This will be the meal you DON'T cook on your day off!

I haven't organised today very well.... I have an appointment at 10.30 in town to declutter 6 months hair growth ( I can't wait) and book group at 2, again in town.

I am not spending 3 hours in town so I shall be doing lots of cycling today!

I have a list of little jobs I hope to achieve during the holidays - on the list for today is to put up some hooks on bedroom doors so that dressing gowns can be put there instead of on the floor!

juliejim

Most of the dishes are now done, all bins are emptied as it's bin day today, I've also cleared my car of rubbish. I've also swilled the bin lid as it's crawling with maggots but now there's more!_pale_

Next job is to make a start on the DR - not sure where to start though!

Anyone fancy joining me for a HHC? 8.45 - 9.15.
