  • Hi all,

    Not a bad day today as off work, managed a few bits from the lists as well as nice long dog walk, finished mowing grass, lots of washing and ironing for hols, and cleaned inside the car (big frog). Also nearly packed. Going to finish that tonight, then all I have to do tomorrow morning is convince OH that he can leave work alone for a few days, it will still be there when he gets back, he doesn't actually have to finish it all before going away. We go through this every time, I want to set off early, he always has "just got to finish this one thing before we go" . So this time I say we're not setting off until after lunch, and he looks at me shaking his head, " might have to be a bit later than that". Arrrggggggh:mad:


    Must - do - Monday: kitchen and dining room

    Do you need to test your smoke alarms?
    Does your bin need a wash?
    Is your post up to date?

    Try - harder - Tuesday: living room

    Dust from top to bottom
    Sweep or vacuum
    Any other surfaces to clear?
    Wash a window or two, or polish a mirror
    Wipe any grotty finger marks away
    Give the fireplace a good clean
    That box in the corner - what's in it? Have a sort
    Rearrange any pictures / photos - it's nice to have a change


    Work - it - Wednesday: room of doom – your choice

    Let some fresh air in, pop the radio on
    Spend 20mins clearing, floor, table, bed, your choice, just do it!
    Wipe any icky marks – doors, handles, windows?
    Dust and deweb
    Vacuum where you can
    Wash any soft furnishings, cushions, throws, bedding?
    Sort and fling anything unwanted from your Level 1 clearance
    Sit and admire your work!


    Thank gawd it’s - Thursday: bathroom & study / pc area

    Straighten up your desk and wipe over – desks harbour germs too!
    Switch off the kit and wipe over the keyboard with an antibac wipe or similar
    Switch it back on and de-fragment the disc
    Back to bathroom, clean the bath / shower
    Wash a window or two
    Wipe down some tiles
    Delete some emails

    Busy afternoon. Collected DS and came straight home, snack then we all had haircuts. He's taken a good bit off DDs which looks heaps better although she wasn't overly pleased ;) she's been a misery all day so never mind... Then out to Beavers which was good fun, we invested 7 new ones so had a bit of a certificate and badges session too.

    I've eaten carp today but not had dinner tonight. Really mustn't do that. Am back on it tomorrow- have some lovely melon in the fridge and yoghurts and will make some chicken and sweetcorn soup I think.

    So, bedrooms tomorrow! I am also going to take down the old curtains from my room (FIL is putting my new blind up :T) and I need to empty and remove the bookcase from the spare room.

    Sorry to hear about the car, LW

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Congratulations Boddy. How lovely to have a new member of the family.

    Flying here has been very minimal again. I am resigned to catching up on Saturday. I am desperate to do more Kondoing as well but its very time consuming and I need to keep on top of the boring stuff like hoovering, dusting and laundry.

    Glad its Friday tomorrow!

    Evening all!
    I think for the first time ever I am up to date with the lists!:T
    The bathrooms are beautiful! Gave them a really deep clean and even kondoed some towels and put them on the side! Nobody has noticed though! Hubby had a shower tonight and just got a fresh towel out. When I mentioned it he had said he hadn't seen it!

    Anyway, in a good position to have a free weekend!

    Well I got my get up and go and ....
    Washed/ dried/ put away dishes
    Cleaned the bunkers
    Cleaned the hob
    Washed the dogs dishes
    Sent DS2 out with the rubbish
    Washed the bin and relined it
    Hoovered the floor
    Filled a bucket and washed the floor with a cloth
    Put the cloth in washing

    I now have caffeine and nicotine so it's all good apart from the dermatitis on my hands stinging like mad I really must invest in some rubber gloves.
