    Hi all

    Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
    Level Two
    Clean floors

    Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
    Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round

    Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary)

    Extra Mission
    Choose one or more of:
    • Wipe the outside of all your small appliances (kettle, toaster etc)

    • 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.

    Hi to all - I haven't been able to get on to post, or even look at the posts for the last few days - but Dustykitten I haven't got a pink mini - I can't drive yet. Though the thought of a pink mini with a cherished plate....

    Still Diet Coke free, enjoying the posh teabags and feeling gooooooood! I don't know how long that will last. DS is playing on the playgym. He was out for the count when the small tabby tried to jump on the computer desk and sent a load of stuff crashing around!

    Have a great week all.

    Hev
    Always another chapter

    Borderlakland, if you 'Go Advanced' rather than 'Quick Reply' there's a little struck through S button. Just use this on any highlighted words.

    I do believe I've done the kitchen. The oven took all of 10 mins! That's 'cos I'm swotty and do it every week.
    No dining room but I gave the pantry the once over. I haven't done any of the 'extras' either.

    Five (count 'em..) things to iron. Gonna do it now before it becomes ten...

    hollyh I did the same with my driving licence, sent away for it 8 weeks before it was due up I think, just never got round to it, make sure you get it sent off ASAP, when I rang they said it can take 4-6 weeks just to process it and allow for that!

    Hev, wondered where you had got to, pleased to hear you are keeping it up with the diet coke!!! Well done!!!

    Dusty hope you get it sorted soon, bet you're pleased you checked. Part of what puts me off going abroad is we'd all need passports!!

    Right I did most of my 'to do' list today, quite impressed with my little self. Turtle tank now set up so just got to give it 4-5 days to sort itself out then we'll be going to get them. I did however not do a couple of the jobs, some will get (hopefully) done tomorrow, lawns will have to wait until I get the time seeing as I know where the shed keys are now. DP working all the day shifts this week aswell as his usual ones with the boss being away so peace and quiet!!!

    Tomorrow looks something like this for me

    Dailies - laundry, downstairs floors, S&S bathroom, dog duties, meals, bins emptied, washing up, school runs
    Monday kitchen/dining area list
    Call dentist see if it's ok for me to sit and wait to be seen (hurting too much now so had enough)
    Sort through 1 (hopefully more) laundry drawer
    Clear the rubbish out of my room
    More laundry, 2 to wash and dry, more to put away still
    Empty fridge and wipe out
    Start on lawns - DPs bro bringing their petrol strimmer over tomorrow after work so can make a start on it - yes it is that bad!!!
    Night time routine inc uniforms sort
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200

    AnWsmum we go to France whent he kids break up in 2 weeks. Problem is DS3 is going away with Gran and Great Aunt to eurodisney this week for 2 nights so I can't send the passport off as he needs it. DH will have to go next week to get it before we go. We are half way between Peterborough and London but he will go to London as there is more to do in the 4 hour wait! Managed to get an alternative number to the 0870 one so at least that was moneysaving.

    Right Mum gone home now after dinner so just need to get very tired kids to bed and then get the uniform ironed. See you all late.
