Kaz2904

I'm in this week again. Thanks Dusty for last weeks list and thanks Natty for this weeks list.

My pledge...
I pledge to empty all the charity shop books and clothes out of my car boot .
I will get the last part of the wall papered.
I will get carpet in our bedroom and the landing and stairs. Wooden floor or carpet for the hallway.
DH and I will clear out the massive cupboard on the landing.
I pledge 5 bin bags of stuff gone from this house before the end of November.
DH will paint the rest of the woodwork on the hall stairs and landing and will paint the 3 bedroom doors.

Not much then

So proud, both of my monkeys were standard bearers in different remembrance parades. DD representing the Junior sea cadets and DS representing the cubs.

Morning all. Thanks Natty for the list.

I will be starting in my bedroom this morning as it didn't get a proper clean last week.

Other stuff to do today:

Paid stuff
Get new bulb fitted to car

and do 2 minutes silence. I will particularly be remembering DS's friend who was killed in Afghanistan last year. I will remember him as a giggly teenager in my LR eating pizza and watching films.

Have a great day everyone.

Got an hour...

Tidy shoes, coats and bags .. wash any that need washing in preparation forcold weather!! See if there are any that don't fit, past their best or justplain uncomfy which could leave the house!
Put up linings or winter curtains to keep out those draughts.
Extra Mission:
Pick one or more of the following tasks –

• If you are wanting to take part in the flylady christmas card swap please PM Natty68 your details!! .. name address and email addy.. some people may want to send e-cards . Don't do Christmas cards as such as give donation to local hospice who have been brill to me over past nearly 18 years - so am sending Christmas wishes to everyone well in advance.
• Paperwork clearance.. spend 15 minutes minimum sorting through those piles of paper. IMPORTANT!
• Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself - need a big strong man! will need to wait until DH home
• Clean a window or two.
• Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!!

DeepClean Challenge
Clean light fittings, skirtings even the ones behind furniture. Cleanfire-surrounds. Wipe sofa's down. Dust all those trinkets! Clear as mayhotspots as you can.. see if you can get it all into one pile instead of 15!!! Would just putting it all into one room do- then lock door - just joking!!!:rotfl:

Also

HOUSE INSURANCE renew

Front Bedroom

Lights x 4 and switches/sockets clean

Ceiling dust

Clean window and frame and cills


Sorry this is a long post - will shorten it as go along leaving just what I haven't managed to complete. Beginning to think I have been a little rash with my Nov Challenge but going to give it my best.:o
Thanks to everyone for this thread and thoughts are with all who have lost loved ones in conflicts/service especially today.

I'm in thank you for the lists.

Got the kitchen and bathroom floor mopped last night.

Living room and stairs hoovered so will look what else is on the list.

Off to the famous onesie factory this morning which is quite near me. Then voluntary work this afternoon.

Hugs for everyone.

Given that Christmas cards has been mentioned I will also mention Secret Santa. Does anyone want to do this? I am quite happy to do the draw and let everyone know who they have to buy for.

Anyone interested?

Trying again this week

DD2 is off school today. She says she doesn't feel well :cool: I think she's just over tired and probably worn out after from marching and playing with the band yesterday.
The girls band did the memorial service for a village near by as they had been let down by the ATC :mad: (they would have had to cancel the parade if "we" didn't do it) but they could magically organise a band for the larger town our band should have been playing at :eek: not surprising as that's the one that get's put in all the local papers! :eek::mad:
Anyway, a list has been made for DD2 to work on while I take my oldies food shopping this morning.
So far DD1 has been dropped at the station, airer has been emptied, WM loaded and on and coffee decluttered.
Bl00dy knitting has already been dropped to my mum when DD1 nipped in to borrow money for the train this morning (the college still haven't sorted out her travel expenses since September :mad: we've had to borrow off everyone as I just don't have the extra each week )
I'm starting to hate my knitting and can't wait for it to be finished. I'm finding weaving through yarn and following a picture on a chart very tricky

Good morning all

Please don't take this the wrong way but if she is ok for housework she should be in school. If she can do something then I'd recommend school work, revising, research etc. I know it sounds harsh but as a Governor who spends an incredible amount of time in school looking at the link between attendance and achievement it makes me sad when opportunities for education are not taken

Sat here with a cuppa kindly made by DH and got my sunlight lamp on - use it for 15 mins each day and think it helps. Thought I'd pop my list up before I start anything; did a fair bit of it over the weekend (well, a fair bit for me that is ). Also got paid stuff to do and also walk the dog.
