Hiya everyone :hello:
We are in for the week and thank you Bossy for the new thread and thank you Natty for last week's listies.
I'm up for a summer challenge and am pledging to get the ROD finally sorted - it's so nearly done and I admit I am just procrastinating (and watching tennis)
CY - hope you get some good news
Pigpen - hope you're okay and please get in touch soon
If it's gone I've done it or don't have one
Marvellous Monday! - Bathrooms!
Clean the sink and scrub those taps.
Don't forget the overflow!
Clean the loo, don't forget the outside!
Clean the bath / shower enclosure.
Now do the screen too, or take down your shower curtain and give it a wash.
Wipe down some tiles.
Brought through from last week
Thoroughly clean the oven (did the hob)
Scrub out the fridge..

Morning everyone
Thanks for the list Bossy - I am in - well when I have caught up from the weekend that is!
We had a super few days with DS - DH painted the wood around his front door after filling gaps left by previous shoddy workmen! I did 4 loads washing - and associated ironing, bathroom and kitchen blitzed, floors mopped, carpets hoovered or brushed including skirting boards, DH also put up a coat rack and clock - without us becoming divorced!! Few weeds pulled out of the garden too!
We also found time to do a 19.6 km walk on Saturday and a shorter one on Sunday. Loved seeing a Red Kite flying overhead as Saturday was such a beautiful day.
Now back to sort ours out!- though it wasn't too bad before we went.

Thanks bossy, I'm in again. Thank's Natty for last week.
Another busy week.Definitely need to prepare for job interview tomorrow. See if I can get into any of my old power suits.
Also bake a cake for tonight's meeting. DH is working back shift - 1300 to 2200 which makes feeding him a nightmare. Lots of cold salads for him me thinks. Lots of soup for me.
Happy Monday everybody.Goals - Weight loss 6/26lb at 22nd Jan 18Mmmm. 26lb at 1/7/18. Oops:o0 -
Morning everyone.
Thanks for the list bossymoo. I'm in.
Some summer jobs done. Burglar alarm fixed and outside light fitted. DGS2 needs to finish outside walls but rain forecast today. I've Kondoed my underwear and socks. I need to sort out old paperwork and spare room.
Want to get as much done in the house as I can this week. I'm stewarding at the Newcastle Pride event all next weekend.
All the floors got washed yesterday.
Dry washing to put away today and crack on with the list.0 -
Thanks for the list bossy
Another returnee but not sure how much I'll get done as we are away for a few days. First week of the school holidays here and I am off.
My summer plan is the same as yours juliejim. I gave a fortnight off in August and I want to sort the house of doom. We made a start at the weekend, taking a whole load of stuff from the patio to the tip. I managed 20k steps yesterday which was mostly putting things away.
This morning I need to finish packing, and leave the house vaguely clean which means Hoover, kitchen and some wiping of loos. So far I have put the TD and DW on, and fed some cats.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
This summer I'm going to complete 1 declutter mission each week:D
This is a great idea, I am trying to kondo our house at the moment but finding time on top of the normal cooking, cleaning, ironing etc etc is hard. Will give this some thought later.
This week should be a fairly quiet one so I need to make the most of it and actually achieve something!
Have a good Monday everyone, looks like rain out there.0 -
Morning all
Deco so pleased you are back where you want to be.
Mrs C glad you have plans for when DS1 moves out, it will help with the adjustment process. Not sure what we will do once DS1 and his stuff is moved out but I'm thinking of getting DS2 a bigger bed for his room, moving his single into DS1's room so there is still a spare bed , using the extra hanging space in there for DS1, possibly putting a couple of shelves in the cupboard to store spare duvets in. Oh and there maybe space for my yoga mat too!
DS3 off to the last week of term
DS1 off to work any minute
So I'm about to hoover and mop before getting ready for the paid stuff (new software to play with this morning so time will fly by)The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
I'm sneaking back in since I haven't posted here since February. We have a new edition to the household: a border collie called Zack who has tripled my cleaning work load but we'd be lost without him now
Thanks for the list bossy
