    Thank you for the new list Bossy.

    Bathroom cleaned and a towel wash with dusty dusters is on the cards! Now I won't slip in the bath from DD's products which leave a film after her bath - she doesn't always remember to clean. Have also wiped all carpet/door edge things (name of them escapes me) and a suspicious mark on LR carpet which I suspect was from a grass- chewing cat.

    Thank you to bossy for this week's list and to Natty for last week's. Enjoy your holiday, Natty - my DH would love that place!

    We had a lovely weekend away, visiting our old haunts. I did take laminating and cutting to be done, and finished nearly all of it. Just haven't had the energy to pack the boxes this evening, as I drove all the way home (3 hours) non-stop, and now I've got a stiff neck :(

    Not much time for anything tomorrow as I'm at my vol job from 12-5.30 and the Old Wives are meeting in the evening,, and then we're away for the rest of the week, doing the school runs for DGS1+2, but I will try to keep up with the thread.

    Glad the anti-sickness drugs have worked a little miracle, CY.

    I'm in again! Thanks to bossy for this week's list and Natty for last week's :)

    *hugs* to valli, dancemum and anyone else with kids going/just gone off to uni - hope you're doing OK.

    Boiler update: OH's granddad came round on Saturday to look at it, was looking a bit dodgy after new circuit breaker didn't work - then turned out what had actually happened was, due to the way it's been wired in, we'd somehow managed to pull the plug cables from the dishwasher and boiler! *headdesk* But at least we found that before we spent £70 getting a man out, and now know where it is if it ever happens again...

    Have got a bit of a head start today as did kitchen floor cleaning last night, so will crack on with the rest of the list when I get home from paid stuff. I have a funny feeling I'm coming down with a cold but will try to power through!

    Happy Monday: Kitchen
    Level 1

    [STRIKE]Remove floor gubbins. Yes, you, that pile over by the door. Does it live there? I think not!
    Now do the same with the unnecessary worktop clutter! There you go! Well done![/STRIKE]
    Level 2
    [STRIKE]Give the work tops and cupboard fronts your attention (with a cloth, don't flutter your eyelashes at them ;))
    Shine your sink, flylady basics :)
    Splash backs and greasy tiles? Yep, swishy there too![/STRIKE]
    Level 3
    [STRIKE]Pop the bin and doormat outside, and sweep and mop your floor
    Wipe over the small appliances[/STRIKE]
    Extras:

    • Descaling. Kettle, iron, taps - get the vinegar out!
    • Wipe over your big appliances
    • [STRIKE]run the WM and/or DW on a hot wash to keep its insides happy[/STRIKE] ;)
    • check over your herbs and spices. Are they any all dried and stuck in the bottom?

    My list for today
    [STRIKE]S&S bathroom
    Scoop out cat litter tray when get home as didn't have time this morning (remember to take a bit of litter to put on the garden to encourage them to go outside)
    Check weather and put out outfit for tomorrow
    Pack work bag
    Mr S run - tights and coffee
    Take recycling off windowsill and put in relevant boxes
    WM x 1
