Thanks for today's list, I started on here last week and the living room was first day and Im really pleased that now it has come around again that the room doesn't look too bad to start with! I am trying to do everything on lists as OH has high expectations for house and I am a naturally messy person! I will have leftovers from each day most likely as I am also an expert procrastinator so leftovers will be done on a Saturday. I actually didn't do much off list but what I did do took me hours! :eek:

I will remove when done as it is better for me to see the list going down!

What's left to do:

Manic Monday ~ Kitchen and dining room
Wipe the table, replace cloth if needed
Clean oven/hob
Pick a cupboard and empty and clean it out and replace only what you wish to keep!
32 fling boogie!
HHI .. I really need to do this!!!!!!
Clean the grill pan.. if you line it with tin foil it is much easier to do next time!!
Clean windows and sills

Hoppy Birdday Kaz - and how lovely that your Sis has joined us - welcome HMF.:beer:

Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for all your good wishes *wipes away tears*. If you'll forgive me, I'll put a link to my post on the Daily thread, as I can't type out my update again (when you read it you'll understand - wrists banjaxed).

Basically, I'm OK - or as OK as I'll ever be - just Mr LW to worry about now.

Currently trying to work out if I can sit on my bum and hold a duster between my toes.:D

So glad it was good news LW, although more than a bit cross that they've made you wait and worry for almost a week. Will keep the posivibes coming for Mr LW.

Happy Birthday, Kaz!

Been to the paid stuff, came home and had lunch, munched a frog for pudding and am preparing for the dentist in an hour. I'm going to ring my sister and have a long overdue catch up tonight, looking forward to it

It was SO nice to get home today and not be faced with bitty carpets, grotty kitchen surfaces and the leaning tower of ironing!

Quick suggestion about OH not knowing where any of the stuff goes. Was any of it his clothes? I assume he would at least know where those go. A "Could you just have a look through this pile and put away any of your clothes that are in it." might get through a little bit of the pile. The other thing I suppose is to ask him to put away specific things somewhere. e.g. "Could you put all the towels in the airing cupboard." or something like that. Only alternative is showing him so he is fully trained up for next time.....:rotfl:
