  • Good morning all. Hope everyone is ok. I never got on over weekend as it was lovely here so was out in the garden.
    Thank you for the list this week. I'm actually on track! (well it is only Monday).
    -Was up at 4.30 with DH
    -Made him a coffee and his lunch while he cleaned up after the pup (again!) He went to work and I watched a bit of tv.
    -Sorted both airers that were full of washing (DH tried to put our washing line back up yesterday but it's broken).
    -Emptied the TD and sorted and folded a weeks worth of underware for 7 (the only things I wont put out)
    -Made all DC lunches, got them fed, dressed and off to school
    -Had breakfast
    -Swept kitchen, tried to save what I can of the dogs bed
    -WM on
    -Wiped worktop! and cleared and cleaned worktop 2, throwing all the out of date medicines on there. Having a catch up on computer and a coffee and will start on worktop3 (which just seems to store toaster, chip pan, slowcooker..)


    Will need to mop floor but not even going to try while the back door open and muddy dogs running in and out.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the lists Dusty.

    I'm going to try and be in, last week went all wrong after tax credits needed my entire years income figures before they could update my claim with my new job details. I hadn't done any accounts since June so it was a massive job. Work was manic too and i ended up bringing work home with me that still needs completing.

    Neveah won't be flying for a while i expect after she fell over last night and smashed her front teeth out and ended up in A&E. She didn't break anything thankfully.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Thanks for the company ionafan and as I kept on for a 2nd HHC Fizzwhizz as well, I did this;
    Monday Kitchen and Dining Room
    [STRIKE]Sweep and[/STRIKE] mop the floor
    [STRIKE]Wipe out the fridge
    Wipe the work tops - removing everything first
    Wipe all the handles in these rooms[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wipe up high on top of cupboards, shelves etc
    Give your sink a really good clean and shine those taps[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Picnic wear, plastic plates and cups, lunchboxes give them a sort[/STRIKE]
    Have a good tidy up in the garden, get rid of broken or manky toys, pots etc. Sweep up to make it look better ensuring drain covers are free from leaves etc

    and pegged out the washing x 2 loads
    swept and hoovered all the ground floor
    wiped all the tables, dining and coffee
    wiped the dining room chairs
    then I ran off to the opticians for an 11 o'clock appt in town
    sorted out a problem in the MU bank
    did some shopping
    called in the drs on the way home because I don't know how I actually made it back and I have an appt at 4.40pm today.
    I put away all the shopping, entered up all receipts and filed the paperwork.
    Did 3/4 hour paid work and now I'm going to go eat lunch and jump in with JTTOU at 2pm.
    I'll be shuffling instead of flying because the waves of pain keep stopping me in my tracks. :o

    I don't think I stand a cat's chance in h3ll of doing the whole list; but I do want to try and do the fridge out and defrost the freezer, so that's the target this afternoon. Our toothbrushes are fine, but I have given the hairbrushes and combs a good clean - Mr LW's was a bit gunked up with the hair gel he uses; he has very fine hair and it sticks out in all directions if he doesn't "glue" it in place.

    Also, yesterday I found some empty pump bottles - I think they had samples of handwash in that I was asked to test and evaluate for Mr T's - so I've decanted my shampoo and conditioner into them, in the hope they'll be easier for me to use than the flip-top bottles that I have to get Mr LW to open every time I want to use them.

    GWS vibes Neveah.

    Mumto5 I hope this week is better than last for you.
