    I'm in.

    Thank you Bossy and Natty x

    After a long time I have neighbours on both sides. New neighbours claimed a strip of my land. I wasn't going to mention it but it just came out of my big mouth so they have moved their new edging and slate off my bit. The walls are very thin. I heard one side telling the Jack and the beanstalk story complete with giant voice earlier whilst getting ds2's bath ready. We can also hear light switches being pulled. On the bright side hopefully the condensation should get better once the previously empty house warms up.

    Played Monopoly with ds2 & DH
    Went for a 1.9 mile walk to the place where we bought our shed to try to replace some ironmongery. The staff were busy so I will have to pop back sometime.
    Washing dried outside
    House henried
    Ironing done
    Mould scrubbed off bathroom ceiling
    My new sofa table cleared (it has become my new hotspot)

    Ds1 couldn't get an appointment at the doctors on Friday but they have agreed to do a prescription for collection on Monday.

    Morning all - hope you don't mind but am jumping on your bandwagon - I am drowning in a misery of clutter and untidiness to the extent that I'm sitting here at this time in despair so need to take the bull by the horns so here goes:-

    Marvellous Monday! - a bit of everything!
    Level 1
    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! - KITCHEN WORKTOP, BREAKFAST BAR, WINDOW SILL
    Level 2
    Now give the surfaces a good clean, then only put back what really belongs there.
    Rehome the rest of the gibble (keep, bin, recycle)
    Level 3
    S&S the downstairs loo
    Empty any bins and give them a S&S too
    Extras
    Put a wash on
    Check any birthdays or other events for the month
    Clean the outside of the front door
    Tidy your handbag or even the car glove box

    My Extras
    -
    sort out all socks and pants (2 black bags)
    Clean upstairs bathroom
    Hoover all downstairs and wash floors
    Clean kitchen window (be as well if doing sill)
    Change the sheets
    Runaround living room - dust, quick tidy,


    Will get there - might take a while!

    I am in this week! Thanks Bossy and Natty for the lists.

    Ds1 has a hospital appointment this morning and I have to walk the dog before we go so won't get much flying done this morning. Will make a start when we get home. Not sure what time that wil be as I have known this clinic to run over an hour late:eek:
