    Haven't caught up with the thread but need to move so quickly posting a list. This week I have breathing space so should be able to do more than last week (which was pretty much nothing!)

    Marvellous Monday! - a bit of everything!
    Clearing surfaces - pick your most annoying 3! Could be kitchen sink, work tops, table, windowsill, mantelpiece, bit of floor, shelf of doom. Whatever, pick 3 and lose the gibble!

    Now give the surfaces a good clean, then only put back what really belongs there.
    Rehome the rest of the gibble (keep, bin, recycle)

    S&S the downstairs loo
    Empty any bins and give them a S&S too

    Extras
    Tidy your handbag or even the car glove box

    Terrific Tuesday: kitchen and dining room
    Clear the work tops / table and wipe down
    Give your sink a polish
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Clean the hob and oven door - and inside if you've time!
    Put the kettle on and take a breather
    Extras:
    Clean the cooker hood
    Collect any laundry

    Wonderful Wednesday - Living Room
    15 minutes tidying up and clearing the floor
    Hoover / sweep and mop these areas
    Clear the table/coffee table and wipe it
    Dust surfaces
    Clean some lighting, mine have glass shades I need to unscrew and wash - let that light shine through!
    Hhi x a million!

    I'm trying to be 'in'- normally a lurker but I pop up now and again. Feeling overwhelmed with how much I need to do, everywhere I look there's jobs to be done and just so tired.

    Thanks, guys; I think once I've managed to get me a replacement dressing gown, I'll just bundle up the old ones into a bag, label it "for animal beds" and pop it in the box with all the other stuff to go to the shop (we always give our CS stuff to benefit animals). I've done that before with old towels etc. and it was well received. :o
