    Last night I proved it;)
    I am doing work work.

    There isn't one.. you write your own. It is just a list of all the things you want to get done 'eventually'

    Afternoon all,
    Day 2 of flying, was quite chuffed with myself yesterday so here's hoping it continues!
    Sadly living room is slightly more difficult as it currently contains a new-to-me sideboard for the new house as well as other bits not normally located there! Might try a little shoogle of locations to make it work better for us in the next few weeks!

    Tuesday - Living Room and Hall
    15 Minutes..
    15 minutes tidying, putting away or sorting a pile in the corner
    30 minutes to spare..
    Hoover the floor
    Wipe mug rings and sticky finger prints away, wipe the remote control
    Got an hour...
    Sort out a cupboard in one of these areas
    Work on that paperwork mountain with 15 minutes shredding, filing, recyling etc

    Extra challenge:
    Relocate furniture to improve efficiency
    Make the BF's lunch for tomo
    Deliver coffee table sold on gummytree

  • Superking room totally spring cleaned, ready for M's arrival tomorrow. It's taken a couple of days, but it is now spotless.

    OH's new sparkly tele has arrived and been set up by a two year old-looking chap I now want to adopt. OH cleaned behind the cabinet - that was the deal, if I helped him with the shelves in the sitting room. They're unutterably hideously over full of toppling stuff that is covered in dust. Those are two of the three areas of the sitting room I just can't get my head around on my own. (Corners of doom).

    Hugs, (((Skinty))). *Ouch* Valli. Welcome to everyone new to posting and welcome back to returners. I've now realised I am not the only person who gets cracking in the autumn rather than the new year or spring. Go us!
    Better is good enough.
