decluttered some emails and grabbed a few bits from the shops.
got to wash up and start on the lists now


Flinging and Flying in the living room

• Clean the windows

Flinging and Flying in the Kitchen Klean-up
empty the bin
remove anything that belongs elsewhere to be rehomed
mop floor
wipe switches, sockets and sticky door marks
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
Clean the windows
EXTRA SPECIAL
Start that CHRISTMAS shopping
OR
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!

Beautiful bathing will be yours - bathrooms and cloakrooms

wipe the shower rail; wash the shower curtain rings
wipe or dust all high horizontal surfaces - door tops and screens
Clean the windows
Mop the floor
EXTRAS
chrome shower rails can be polished when they're off

If your bin's been emptied why not fling the water from the mop bucket in the bin and 'agitate' it to loosen dirt, leave it upside - down to dry - a fragrant bin puts those bluebottles - and their maggotty 'offspring' off! --will do friday

Hooray:beer:
The ensuite has been bleached to within an inch of it's life:p
I can sleep in my own bed again tonight as the blinds are back up and things are where they should be again. There are some patchy bits I'm sure but I cba now. It looks fresher. I'm allowing myself half hour with my book before DH brings the kids back and all hell breaks loose!
WM on to re-wash the stuff that got wet:mad:

Afternoon

Not getting too far, friend with BC wanted to come around for tea and a chat earlier, she did take some of the bamboo roots with her and I deposited some at a neighbour too.

Doing xWM, first lot dry, second out, third in progress as it is very hot here. Got to go out once DS3's lunch is done, car will be baking I bet.

DD is on a dusting mission upstairs and has her music on so nothing to cross off the list. I'm about to start stage 2 of paid stuff.while juggling washing. Took 5 mins before to do some flinging & rehoming and the livingroom is looking much better for it.

I still need to sort trains out for tomorrow. Might sit down with DD and see what she wants to do. I just don't want to end up on a packed commuter train!

Time to get paid stuff done.... :wave:

Would anyone feel threatened by some twonk leaving a load of heavy breathing on their 1571 Call Minder thingy? Especially as when I tried 1471, the number came up?

I'd feel very threatened! And I would be ringing the phone company/police as well!

mrs-moneypenny

unless you recognise the number and they have asthma i would report them.

please miss can i stop for a cold drink ive just eaten a large frog. dont ask me why but the hedge alongside our garden annoys me, when a path ran along our boundary the council planted a hedge to deter grafitti on our fence, so i felt obliged to trim it and keep it off the path, path has been moved and we now have an upkept planted area as our neighbour, i weed the bit along side our low wall as the dandelions and thistles only blow into our front, but the hedge was all straggly and about 2 foot taller than our fence so ive just been out on a chair with extention lead hedge trimmers and loppers for 1 1/2 hours the sweat is pouring off me and im scratched to bits as i stupidly wore shorts while wading through brambles and roses. im going to bag whats fallen into our garden but the rest has been left where it fell on the parkside. just the bit our side behind the shed i cant reach so will ask DH to do that.
it was on my to do list about 2 months ago i think, so frog duly chomped

DS2 has gone to cinema with mates to see that magician/robbery film, cant remember title.
friends parents took and Dh collecting on way home from work.

puter hasnt played up since they said they were sending someone out so ive cancelled him, im an if it aint broke dont fix it person and was worried fidding with it would upset it.
