    Hoppy Birdday Bossy.:beer:

    Am I the only Flylady not following the tennis?:D
    Monday - Downstairs Dash
    HH tidying, putting away and floor clearing
    Hoover and mop all the floors you can see
    Wipe kitchen work surfaces and clean the sink
    S&S toilets and basins
    Dust the electricals and anything else you have time to.



    Tuesday - Declutter Day


    Wednesday - Deep Clean Day

    Thursday - Frog Feast

    Friday - Unwieldy Upstairs
    Thanks for this, Dusty; I shall join in as best I'm able.:o

    Monday Downstairs Dash - I hoovered throughout yesterday; Mr LW took the doglets outside and kept them entertained for me:A as they are scared of the vacuum. Tidying has been done; I've cooked sausages and spuds for sausage salad tonight and made another goosegog crumble, and all the washing up is done, dried and away and all the surfaces cleaned; also done inside the fridge. Loo and basin to be done shortly (bath done yesterday as Mr LW has to get the bath lift out). Will also dust what I can easily manage later.

    Tueday Declutter
    - we're pretty much up to scratch; recycling needs to go out Tuesday morning as it's bin day; but it's all in the sack ready, and stuff for the CS is in the appropriate box. So I'll have a good go at my magazine racks; there are some issues of Pagan Dawn, Wolf Print and Companions that need putting in the boxes on the wardrobe (I keep these indefinitely) and the rest can be sorted for shredding/recycling.

    Wednesday - Deep Clean I'll find something that needs it that I can safely deep-clean with the doglets here. Not sure what yet, I'll give it further thought.;)

    Thursday - Frog Feast See if there's anything on my list I can safely attempt with th doglets here (this is why my June Challenge has gone t*ts up - everything on my list seems to involve either steam, strong cleaning stuff, or needles) but in the meantime, I'm not adding to the list - Tadpoles are being dealt with before they form legs.:o

    Friday - Unwieldy Upstairs As I have a bungalow and can't physically get in the loft :D I'm going to take this as being the bedroom and spare room. The bedroom just needs basic maintenance cleaning; the spare room could do with a bit more of a going over, and I'll check and tidy up the two crates of supplies we have in there.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    ANother one here not following tennis! :)



    I keep losing steam part way through week and it all going pear shaped. I'm not going to finish this week either as I'm working at a festival site from Thurs - Tues!




    Grrr!!! Just lost a long post - long and short of it is I have been massively decluttering today and will do downstairs dash tomorrow instead.




    Happy Birthday, bossy! :) x

    Phew! It wasn't that warm here this morning but it's toasting now :cool:

    Managed to get all the ironing finished before I collected DS2, took about 45 mins despite the pile being fairly small, I hasn't factored in 5 shirts each for DH and DS1, 5 polos for DS2 and three casual shirts of DSS's. I put it all away as soon as we got home.

    Lounge and hall have been tidied and vacuumed, shower curtains have been washed and rehung, our bedroom has been dusted and vacuumed. The boys room isn't too bad after it's big blitz last week and despite having picked up everything from the floor and surfaces of the girls room last Monday, I cannot see the floor again :mad: I was going to dump it all on their beds but I spotted something so gross atop the radiator I decided to close the door and leave the lot. Expecting DSD in half an hour and she can sort it. She WILL sort it.

    Having a hard earned cuppa in my new mug :) and just about to jump in the shower. Waiting to hear from DSIL as DN2 has been taken to hospital this afternoon :(

    The mind boggles!!_pale_

    The listed S&S of the loo and basin turned into a full-on scrub. No particular reason, I just got a bit carried away.:rotfl:

    Doglets have been brushed, so they're all prettified.:o

    The washing I did this morning is all dry and in the airing cupboard (just as well, or I'd be letting it all hang out tomorrow, as I'm out of clean bras.):D

    HM yogurt has been suitably yogged, so I have something to have for brekkie tomorrow.;)

    OH loves all things sporty and is like a pig in pooh at the moment with the world cup, tennis and over the weekend, Glasto. He's 67, but immersed himself in the world of music etc in the '60s and has never emerged from it, and played cricket, golf and footie as well. I like people who are enthusastic about their interests, and I love hearing about people enjoying themselves. No one's boring Me by saying 'Come on Tim!'

    I have completed today's list! I have also washed some paintwork (although not the bit I meant to), vacuumed upstairs as well because the stairs were knee-deep in black pet hair (note to self, get another ginger cat and dog rather than the black ones we have now), shaken out two dogbeds, run the DW, washed the front door inside and out and paid the window cleaners. I did the sinks and loos yesterday, and am now going down to the shower room to deal with the shower, which I thoroughly vinegared a la Dusty yesterday.
    Better is good enough.
