Lunch break time.

I have just cleared another binbags worth of stuff out of DD's room :eek: It was mostly clothes that are too small that I said she could use over Christmas but had to go afterwards, so they've just finished filling the second binbag of clothing to go to the charity shop. I then filled half a binbag going through her pens/pencils and other miscellaneous bits we didn't do yesterday. I managed to drop the desk drawer on DDs then empty desk tidy breaking it so the two mugs she had in her room are now re-purposed as pen pots I've even managed to home everything that was left out My recycling bin is now 3/4 full, and its another week until its emptied!

Going to tackle the cuddly toys, then blankets/coats in my room next, but its so nice to see a big difference upstairs. Just hope I can achieve the same effect downstairs! :rotfl:

Done my paid work but my poor little head's in a spin cos DH has deleted almost everything from our computer calendar trying to fix it - I put everything on there and this has triggered bad stuff in me; trying to ignore it but so hard . CBT on Weds thankfully to help me cope :T

Pigpen oh no, one thing after another isn't it. Hope you all recover quickly; I had mastitis once when BFing DS and it was awful - can a GP give you a diagnosis and OH get your prescription? Owwww

Anyone fancy a HHC (or maybe 2) at 1.00? If so feel free to join me as going to slurp down my cuppa and then I'm off!

LW if i had a run of two things breaking i as told to snap a match in half to make that the third breakages. hope the new coffee machine works well and serves purpose

One of the lightbulbs in the hall died the death last night, so maybe that's the third item.:D The new coffee machine is fine; works exactly the same way as the old one, though it's a different make, so no complicated new instructions to get our heads around. I have a mug of coffee beside me as I type.:D:coffee: Plenty in the pot if anyone else wants one.;) And I made carrot'n'orange cake yesterday if you'd all like a slice.:D

We did most of what's on today's list yesterday as it turns out; I'll work off-list this week, and try to not make my wrists any worse.;)

Bin day tomorrow, so I'm checking round for anything to go in the recycling - I currently have tiddly-widdly dribbles of washing up liquid and hand wash dripping into the top of the new containers - you know how they're never full to the brim, so it's possible to do this. I've also turfed out some Mensa mags over a year old.

I've also put the Dys0n round, and removed the long red hairs from round the rollers on it.:cool: And done a WM load of Mr LW's jeans and t-shirts, and hand-washed two tops of mine.

I'll actually be putting the black rubbish bag out this week (I think it's 5 weeks since we put one out) so the bin men will be shocked!:D

Afternoon ladies :wave: and thankyou to Dusty and Natty for inspiring, instructing and occasionally bossing us into action

I am feeling SO much better than I was at the tail end of last week I need to call the docs after 2.30 to check to see if the cultures have grown anything and if so, whether the broad spectrum ABx were the right ones, but given how well I feel I think I have kicked the UTI's butt

My GUAG has returned and as I have a day off from work, I've made the most of it...

Monday Madness- Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
15 minutes...
[STRIKE]Clean floors in these rooms[/STRIKE]
30 minutes to spare...
[STRIKE]Clean baths, toilets, don't forget under the rim! and sinks[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Clear any clutter from desk[/STRIKE] Don't have one!
[STRIKE]Dust PC and desk and wipe off those cup rings!![/STRIKE]Lappy has been wiped over with alcohol
[STRIKE]Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc[/STRIKE]
Got an hour...
[STRIKE]Wash your bathroom mats, nets, clean blind/curtains etc
Wipe down tiles in bathroom..[/STRIKE] defragment your pc while doing this.
[STRIKE]Empty and clean out all the upstairs bins! (the proper bins not the rooms that look like bins!)[/STRIKE]Got almost a full black bag from all the waste paper baskets and bins dotted around the flat :eek:
[STRIKE]Clean shower screen/curtain if you have one/if required[/STRIKE] Curtains hanging up to dry on their rails, so the bathroom smells lovely and fresh
[STRIKE]Clear a mega hotspot!.. shred it.. and fling it.. or just burn it! [/STRIKE]
Extra mission:

• [STRIKE]Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms[/STRIKE] All rooms done
  
• [STRIKE]Wipe down the doors and frames in these rooms[/STRIKE] Did all the doors too.
• [STRIKE]clean the radiators in these rooms[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Fling all those empty bottles and tubes[/STRIKE] Since starting the 'no buying unnecessary toiletries' challenge, I'm very on top of this
• [STRIKE]Replace sponges/flannels/toothbrushes that are in need[/STRIKE]

I've also:

• Tidied and dusted our BR ,all the guff which was lying around has been PIIPP or binned. Managed to convince my alarm clock to work again, but if it plays up once more it's going in the bin.
• Tidied and dusted the LR.
• Tidied the kitchen, WUDUPA, disinfected all the work surfaces, bleached the sponges.
• Cleared the floor in the boys' BR, made their beds and put a small pile of stuff on DS1's bed for them to tidy when they get home. Dusted.
• Vacuumed throughout.
• WMx1 hung on the airer. Will do another load tonight.
• Polished all the pictures and mirrors.

Still to do:

• Back up my phone.
• Mop the kitchen floor.
• See whether the toothpaste marks on the bathroom lino have finally been removed -- I have been scrubbing them every half hour all morning since mopping, they seem to have disappeared but as soon as it dries, they reappear :mad: Will try a nail brush to get into the 'grain' if they're still there.
• Find out which child has been sharpening pencils into the LR wicker waster paper basket :mad: and string them up by their ears. My money is on DS1, lazy little toad.
• Spot clean the LR carpet (see above, and where DH dropped half his lunch yesterday :T Well done, hubby).
• Have a well-earned cider later!

Hope you're wrong about the mastitis, piggers, in the nicest possible way. Hugs to all other poorlies and sticks and spoons etc xx

If you are using a PC/laptop, the easiest way is to quote the post, highlight the text you want to strike through, then click the little button on the right hand end up there ^ which is as S with a strike through it. If you're on a tablet or a smart phone, I find it easier to type [ s] at the beginning of the text you want to strike through, then [ /s] at the end (no spaces in between the square brackets though, I only put them in to show you what it looks like)

Done my 2 x HHC. Couldn't wash the bathroom floors (still guarding my back) but done everything else today. Also made up our bed (stripped it first thing), done the kids beds, done the bit of washing up lying around, sprayed the window sill in the kitchen with anti bac liquid and wiped it down and took everything that should be upstairs away from downstairs. Doesn't sound like a lot for an hour but feeling like I've done something! Also fed the dog so will walk her at 3ish.

FizzWhizz glad you're feeling so much better now - sounds like you're firing on all cylinders again so that's great!

LameWolf I'd love a cuppa and some cake please - sounds delicious! Pip says maybe you could spare her a few crumbs too - norty girl she is!

just_the_two_of_us

Hi - Fizzwizz I was sort of in with your HHC - a double HHCooking.:rotfl:
Just made a vat of James Martin (mm:o) cauli and apple soup and also some cream of mushroom using a dodgy looking box of mushies we had forgotten. That will keep me in soup for the rest of the week and might have to freeze some!!

Next stop coffee and I would love a piece of cake please LW. Was going to bake but think my eggs have gone off - need to pop out and get some to bake at teatime as DH having sugar withdrawal symptoms!

After that will just have time to do another hour of the paper frog - it is slow but steady progress.

Did bathroom shower this morning and rest will be done before I go to bed!!

Fizzwizz you are most certainly feeling better - that's a huge list you've completed!!

Tomorrow folks!

I'm back in this week. Going to rope DH into helping when I get home from work tonight.

Quick list so I know what I'm doing when I get home.

Monday Madness- Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
Clear a mega hotspot!.. shred it.. and fling it.. or just burn it! (DD2's floordrobe!) DH said he'd do this tomorrow

Terrible Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
15 minutes...
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
30 minutes to spare...
Sweep and mop floors
Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary)
Got an hour...
Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
Clean fridge and see what needs using first (why do I have 4 jars of cranberry sauce in mine?)
Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer and dishwasher filters need to be done too!!
Extra Mission
Choose one or more of:

• Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
• Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
• Clean oven if it really needs it.. or just do the hob.. mines gross.. you need to shame me into cleaning it!
• HHI .. bit of a catch up!!
• Write an inventory of your cupboards contents and what needs using first
• Empty the cutlery drawer.. clean it out, wash the cutlery tray, chuck those baby spoons you don't use any more.. how many medicine spoons do you actually need? get rid of everything you don't use and make the drawer look nice again!
