    Hello again. I've been to local shops and taken the dogs for a lovely long walk. It's absolutely beautiful out, bright sunshine and gentle breeze. No need for the hat and scarf today.

    Now onto sorting out the shoes and hoovering and mopping through. Will then do some baking.

    Afternoon all.

    I'll be doing a normal week this coming week when it comes to flying. Its my busy work week which means work on Wed & Thur & Fri, although Friday in theory is 2 deliveries at school then me going to the bank so its not all day. I've also got DD off Monday for inset so we'll be running errands (she's desperate to go to a butchers with me apparently :rotfl: ) and seeing what she can spend her Christmas vouchers on. ;) If I can just keep up with the basics I'll be happy. :p

    I'm not flying today as I'm making the most of DD being out and doing all my surveys etc that I've not done through the week. I'm using DDs laptop (again) as mine complains when I try to play videos and she'll need it tomorrow for homework. So I'll fly tomorrow while she's occupied.

    Monday - Master bedroom & landing
    Sort through a cupboard.. make it neat and tidy and get rid of what you no longer wear/need/use

    Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Mess
    15 minutes...
    Clear and wipe work surfaces
    Wipe and replace small appliances
    30 minutes to spare...
    Empty cutlery drawer.. wash cutlery tray and replace everything neatly..
    Wipe the front of the units, kickboards and the large appliances
    Got an hour...
    De-web and fluff the room
    Extras
    • Wash the windows
    • Wipe down paintwork
    • Clean filters and detergent dispensers
    • HH - meal plan
    Wednesday - sprog/spare room
    Strip beds and wash sheets and any other bedding in need!

    Thursday - bathroom
    :D:D

    Friday - FLING - Living room, Hall and stairs :D:D

    I'm off to make some lunch and a hot drink, thats the only downside to doing admin all day, I get really cold. :( :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Due to baby discovering her scream / squeal voice this week, I struggled on Thursday & friday to get much off the lists done, so tried to just keep hotspots going, dishwasher loaded and then pick back up when I could.

    Being a thread newbie - what happens at the weekend? I was looking of page one for a Saturday list, but none appeared, so now I'm thinking this is mon-fri? If so, I will try and catch up some of the stuff I haven't been able to do, bathrooms being a particular issue (I got as far as spraying the upstairs bathroom with cleaner on Thursday and then baby demanded attention and I never got back to it!)

    Still feeling pleased with the progress I'm making though, fighting my natural inclination to my chair as much as I can! :)

    The bed man is here :T but I heard him on the phone saying something wasn't right. The Lord giveth (arrived on time) and the lord taketh away (missing bits?) :rotfl:

    Kids fed, I'll have mine when he's gone.

    I'm tidying the garden as it isn't raining right now. Picking up apples from the lawn (millions of tiny russets that were inedible) as the tree is being pruned next week and I don't want them all trodden in, and filling up the garden waste bags with those and the prunings from hacking back all the overgrown shrubs and climbers.

    I'm also getting some laundry done, and all the windows are open to air the house. I do intend to hoover/dust/clean at some point, but right now being outside is more appealing!

    Hoovering, sweeping, mopping through house all done. DH did weekly shop and lemon cake and granola now in oven. I'll walk the dogs again when they're cooked.

    Hope the bed goes ok Bossy.

  • :wave:Hi!

    I think all the missing GUAGs have been partying somewhere - mine disappeared again for the majority of the week - and that, plus having to be more social than usual, did not make for good flying. Anyway, yesterday (and the remainder of today, hopefully) was/will be better as dot-to-dotting took place and it shows!

    Right, lunch has been decluttered, best get started ......

    Hope to post later.

  • Well we went to visit MIL this morning, we dont see her often enough so I feel very pleased - even though nothing much else has been done at home.

    I am supposed to be going to my dog walking group this afternoon but the rain is lashing against the window and making it seem like a bad idea. Trouble is if no-one else turns up and its called off I will have driven 15 miles for nothing. Have texted the dog trainer and will see if she replies.

    Other things I could be doing: finances spreadsheet to update and voluntary job paperwork to do. Then I might go through my weekly list of cleaning jobs and see what was missed this week.

    Oh its getting really windy out there now as well ...
