Oo what a lovely tea kaz!
Sorry about your sad loss Shirley *hugs*
I've been reasonably busy but didn't spend an incredible time on it all thankfully so here is my list updated:

Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
[strike]Clean floors
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances
Clean the fridge
Dust all round kitchen
Wipe kitchen table
Wipe window sill clean any marks off window
Wash the washer drawer out and lint trap[/strike]

extras:

• [strike]
  
• Wipe the outside of kettle, toaster, microwave
• Clean oven and remove stain from hob
• Clean out the freezer and check contents, Defrost it if it needs it.[/strike]
• Sort through one cupboard, emptying it, wiping it out and wiping items before putting them back - do others if there is time
  
• [strike]Wipe walls down around oven area and remove greasy cobweb pieces from ceiling that never get picked up by feather duster[/strike]

[STRIKE]
(also cleaned the gas fire in the kitchen which was also coated in greasy dust)
[/STRIKE]

It certainly feels good to cross everything off even though I have already crossed off the printout I might get around to doing a cupboard tomorrow or another day. One job I must definitely do tomorrow is clean the vac - I dread to think how much of my hair it has eaten since I cut the hair out of the brush bar a month ago! You'd be amazed, honestly...

can't believe i'm still up... was all ready for bed when friend came online needing to chat and phoned up for a good half hour. my dad's here this week (staying in a hotel) so not got loads of free time but decided to do the list anyway, to whatever level i can manage!

Manic Monday - Kitchen and (no Dining Room)
Level One
Clean floors
Level Two
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
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 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.
• Clean oven if you did not do it last week
• Sort through one cupboard, emptying it, wiping it out and wiping items before putting them back

Good morning!

I hope the theraputic and preventative ice cream yesterday evening has worked it's magic and everyone is fine and dandy this morning.

Shirleypark, sorry to hear about your gran. Have a hug. And have another one for having to go through the grim task of dividing up your stuff. I know what that's like. Glad you get custody of the Ratties though.
Well done witchypoo, everything struck off!!
Kazmeister, the breakfast muffins will be trialled at the weekend for sure and I'll let you know!

No flying this morning as I want to get in to work early. It's going to be bliss getting in when the school traffic stops next week.

Today I want to:
Book car service
Do as much of todays list as needs it
Tackle some of the fiddly bits laying bathroom floor - I keep going in to admire it - how sad is that!

I'm sure more things will present themselves as the day goes on..

Have a happy day.

Morning all

Well not a lot done on the list but I did get the car serviced, needed 2 new tyres, now need to get it booked for warranty work before 1st Sept so that is on today's list to book before we go away. Also got a 1gB SD card from morrisons for £6.99 for daugthers digi cam so she can take loads of pics of Mickey and gang (2gB ones were £19.99 if anyone has a morrisons close by, might only be our morrisons but worth checking out if you need one)

Today I have to make a couple of phone calls and then this afternoon a friend is going to watch DS and collect DD to play with her kids after school so I can get packing for hols - only 5 more sleeps

We are eating everything that will go off while we are away and dressing in non hol stuff!

Have a good day everyone, hugs to everyone and hope the poorly ones are better soon.

Shirley sorry for your sad news. We used to keep rats aswell, smashing pets but we have cats now-not a good mix!!!

Sure I wont get much done today, sis is having a planned c-section this am, so I'm sooo exited!! DS is having a tooth out today, but hubby will have to take him as I'm at the hosp, just hope he doesn't pass out at the sight of the needle!!

Have a good day everyone:j

morning everyone
no flying for me today i've got to w##k til half 1 then go into nearest town to do tons of bits and pieces.handy i don't have to pick up 3 of kids til 6 tonight as they have got a disco at school.ds1 is old enough to let himself in,but oh will be here but in bed(he works nights)
i've got to try and have an early night tonight as ds1 is going on a school trip to alton towers tomorrow and to make sure he catches the bus we will have to be out of the house by 5.40am:eek: thats way to early for me
he needs packed lunch and tea plus snacks(not to mention spending money:mad: )

Morning all :hello: I've not caught up with all the activities yet, but I will at lunch time Flying is being postponed sort of for now.... I need to get a box of books to school, the logbooks sorted, ebay parcels dispatched, Asda run to get more packaging (not buying it from the post office as it's too expensive!) and I have 4 Hama bead picture frame things to iron for DD and make backings for and package up before tomorrow :eek: Not to mention setting up Thank You cards, and writing a letter to her teacher to say thank you (I do this as DD loves school so much and it's because of the teachers attitude/commitment to their job so I like to thank them as well )

Right, best go and do some washing up, beds are turned back, washing is out (on timer overnight which meant when I got up and finished the lunches it was ready to put out :j ) and DD has finished all her breakfast for a change :dance:

I'm off while the going is good :wave:

Morning.

shirley sorry about your gran. A few easier days won't hurt you while you deal with that.

We are having a day around the village today. Will pop out for a little bit to take my bag of stuff to the charity shop and to buy some more bread, seems though my breadbuns were a bit of a disaster as the dough was very sticky, although they turned out ok after cooking there were less than normal cos most of the mix stuck to my hands. :eek:
