A good day for Mermaid!

I have sprog free day tomorrow, so will make most of it to get some paper work filed away and desk tidied.

Congrats on still being diet coke free, Hev. I've done cold turkey on tea, and it's not easy. Been drinking Echinacea and Raspberry tea all week, my cold didn't seem to hang around, so maybe it works...

Hi all . Had a busy day but havent cleared much from the list. Oh well first day back and all that. I have cleaned and wiped all surfaces at least twice.Hmm thats all from list it seems so level one only today. Made muffins. Made chocolate cake. Made bread, spag bol, brekkie and lunch. Spent the day in the kitchen more or less so why isnt it spotless

Did 4 loads of washing and ironed it all too along with loads of other ironing. Will put it all away before going to bed. Knackered now xx

i feel like i missed a party today!

hugs to those who need them, though.

i lost another 1.5lb so was quite pleased, friend got to her 7stone this week so i took her out for a meal after weightwatchers. awesome achievement!

anyway, my list, as bed is calling and i have to work in the morning! only managed a level 2 today, though i did clean the floor on my hands and knees, not sure it made a lot of difference, except i really got to the edges and under appliances etc!

Manic Monday - Kitchen
Level One
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Level Two
Clean floors
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
Level Three
Wipe window sills, clean any marks off windows if required
Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky
Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week
Extra Mission
Choose one or more of:

• Wipe the outside of all your small appliances (kettle, toaster etc)
• Clean out your vacuum cleaner, get rid of the hair from the brushes, clean the filters is they are washable and clean anything else you can like the ‘muck bucket’ etc, make sure you leav it to dry thoroughly before putting it back together.
• Clean out the freezer, I find the vacuum cleaner is good for getting up any crumbs in the bottom or stray peas etc. Defrost it if it needs it.
• Sort through one cupboard, emptying it, wiping it out and wiping items before putting them back - the messy one in the kitchen!!!

won't be able to stop on long as Charlie is already being a monkey. Currently he is emptying the bag i packed last night, and is into absolutely everything. :eek:

Good morning otherwise so far, as another DVD has sold on amazon, and i need to go to the drs surgery today near the post office, so good timing and more clutter gone.

galantvr4 best of luck at the hospital today. Housework will definitely still be there when you get back,i just suggest you keep ticking with a load of washing a day so at least you have clothes to wear.

denise hope the dog is a bit better today.

lbnbnblb maybe we can think of some things that will help each other when we go back. I will get me thinking cap on and let you know what i think by PM.

hello and hugs to everyone else.
