    Morning all.

    Skinty, please try to look after yourself. I am the last one to lecture as I know what I need to do to stay healthy (indeed alive) but I seem to have this button that means I keep sabotaging myself. And I wonder why I can't sleep at night.

    Right onwards and upwards, time to start on todays list and then get in the gym.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Morning everyone - best wishes to all exam takers and parents and teachers.
    Get well soon vibes to everyone needing them and thinking of you Bossy with your traveller issues - good news about the neighbours.

    Plan for today GUGDGO ( get up get dressed get out) to mr Al*i for shopping as such a beautiful day - then at least three very important phone calls/texts/emails.

    Once they are sorted can get on with the upstairs.

    Yesterday Mrs M-P I carried on too - did all the bedding and one load of washing and all downstairs - even wielded the feather duster!!!

    At museum this afternoon so may not get everything done but it is a full day at home tomorrow.

    Have a good day everyone.x

    Morning all.

    Just a quick post so I can have an up to date list. Thanks Natty for making today the bathroom as it's already been done this week :D

    I've had a bath, my pillows are in the wm in the hopes of getting them really clean, DD is on the bus to school and my stuff that I need out for work is already sorted so my lovely tidy homely look is replaced by a stark empty dresser top and a pile of stuff on the dining table :( Soon said dresser will be covered in boxes containing paper bags and will probably stay that way for a few days (definitely until tomorrow night when I make deliveries though) :(

    My delivery is already here so I want to get on as I could do with going to Mr A for a couple of bits as I'm not paying the c0-0p prices! But I'm going to get my dailies done, and change my bed first so hoping to have them done by 9am.

    If its gone its done or doesn't apply.

    This week:
    Wed: DD to get main packing done (no time the rest of the week between homework & work), Text cook
    Thur: Books & deliveries Thur Evening, school delivery morning
    Fri: Bank, errands; DD going away (5pmish) Pay CT
    Weekend: |DD away until Sun.

    Personal:
    Clean up DDs custom shoes.
    Pay Council tax (Fri)

    Dailies:

    Beds W ThFSaSu
    Dishes W ThFSaSu
    S&S kitchen W ThFSaSu
    Surveys W ThFSaSu
    Evening meal W ThFSaSu

    Manic Monday - Killer Kitchen and Dapper Dining Room
    30 minutes to spare...
    Mop the floor
    Clean the drawer from WM WM is on with a load, so I'll do this later.

    Mad Tuesday - Living room, Hallway, Stairs
    Vacuum hall, landing and stairs.. all the way up to the top!!!!!
    Extras
    • Wipe woodwork in the hall and stairs & wipe front door.. inside and out.
    Wacky Wednesday ~ Bathroom
    15 minutes...

    Wash any curtains/blinds/mats etc that need doing - wash load going in later
    Got an hour...
    Clean the windows - will do when I S&S after having my bath this morning :D

    Right, time to write this list out, check email and get on. A HHC should see all dailies (except the dishes which I'll leave until after lunch) done :D :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!

    Hi all, Doobop here - long time lurker! I have just come back from holiday and have a day before I'm back at work - need to rest a bit - got back late - but every room needs sorting out. Have already cleaned kitchen windows and half (!) the window sill, a job that's been bothering me for ages, loads to do though so thought I'd post and you can keep me company! Will start to read some of the thread now :)

    Keyboards, mice and monitors, printer and phones wiped. Worktop and chairs scrubbed to remove undetermined toddler mess. Paperwork rehomed and credit card half paid. Oven shelves slung in DW, fridge shelves having a bleach bath in kitchen sink.


    Time for another brew, then I might bring hoover in 'puter room while DD4 is happy in high chair watching Pepp@ P!g and I might have to get a scourer on the window frames in here as now I have opened the curtains it is really mucky - tea splashes....how on earth did they get there????
