    Hi,
    I am going to attempt to at least do level one this week.

    DA is still very poorly so spending what time I can with her. I have hospital, dentist appointments this week and a training day on Wednesday. I am going to learn how to use twitter for marketing purposes.

    I am still working on my frog ( paperwork sorting).

  • Just as I got dressed it started raining :( so that's my run out the window. I'll have to try later if the weather clears.
    Attempted to put some washing away, but it's still damp.
    Dodged the drops to put OH's new lights on her bike thou, so that's one job done.

    Going to get some flying done. Going to see how much I can get done before 12, so a TQHC (Three Quarter Hour Clean :p) anyone?

    Hi,

    I'm a long time lurker, first time poster on here and i'd like to officially sign up in hope that this will push me to finally have the beautiful home i deserve!

    I work full time and then do extra work from home, have a mental dog who needs long walks and ruins my house so most days i give up and plonk myself in front of the TV every evening.

    I got a bit of a spurt on yesterday and cleaned/decluttered the bathroom before i read this so i have a bit of a head start, but i avoided/forgot about the tricky jobs. I'm going to count my PC area as the bombsite down my side of the couch where my laptop lives.

    Magical Monday - Barnacled Bathroom and Sociable Study/Pc Area
    15 minutes...

    Clean floors in bathroom

    Declutter PC area
    30 minutes to spare...
    Clean baths, toilets, sinks and 4 tier shelf over corner of bath
    Got an hour...
    Wipe down tiles in bathroom.. defragment both laptops while doing this (programs.. accessories..system tools.. defragment!.).. if you do the disc cleanup as well, clear all the cookies and temporary files too
    Delete 10 links in your favourites which you no longer use or are dead!
    Clean shower screen/curtain if you have one/if required
    Change hand towels and flannels
    Extra mission:
    Pick whichever you want to attempt:
    • Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms
    • clean the radiators in these rooms
    Deep Clean Challenge

    Wipe dirty marks off the walls and doors.



    Cant wait to get home now to get started :)

    Thought you were tougher than that after that mad mud run thing you did :p

    I have been eating frogs, chewing them and spitting them back at people all morning.

    Hospital and GP both chased and supposed to be sorting out the letter they have lost (twice) between them

    Electricity switched after SP p!ssed me off again

    Banking sorted

    Kitchen floor hoovered and mopped
    WM on

    Time for lunch and then more paperwork/emails whilst I'm on a role.

    Good Morning

    Thanks Natty for the lists.

    Ionafan glad to hear your daughter is doing well
    Goodintentions good news on the job front for your husband hope he gets something permanent very soon.

    Trying to get back to the land of the living after spending the weekend in bed with a nasty tummy bug. Yuck!! Many thanks to all for their good wishes and advice. Still feeling weak and wobbly so I'm not planning on doing too much today but want to make a start.

    We have a busy week this week. GS3 will be with us all day on Wednesday and Thursday so only the basics are likely to get done. On Thursday evening we go down to Portsmouth for the night before getting the early ferry to France - back late next Tuesday evening so don't want to come back to too much chaos.

    So far I've fed the wm, fed the bm, fed the sc so hopefully leak and potato soup with fresh bread for lunch.
