Morning all.

We've had a lie-in but now I'm raring to go and [STRIKE]bribing[/STRIKE] gently encouraging DD to get her self moving as well. I want the house clean in the next 2 hours so we can get errands in town run this afternoon. I say 2 hours as that's how long it's going to take for the wash load that's in and needed to finish & be dried

Time to sort out the list and see what we can achieve!

Monday Mayhem: A bit of everything!
Level 1
Starting upstairs, work your way through the house with that feather duster (or whatever you have). Dust and deweb, as far through as you like / need.
Level 2
Follow your dust trail with the vacuum cleaner, only lift it upstairs if it's safe to do so.
Level 3
Wipe out the fridge and stick any grot in the compost / bin.
Extras:

• Eat a frog

Tense Tuesday: Kitchen
Level 1
Wipe down your large appliances.
Level 3
And the oven too, if you've any steam left!
Extras:

• Set aside a little time for you, this week!
• Mop a floor or two.
• Have you sorted your winter list? Enough wellies? De-icer for the car?

Sweep or vacuum

Dogs walked, hoovering and ironing done. About to read the paper and do some puzzles before resuming flying. I have ten hours on my own still today.

Morning all.

Another wet and windy start to the day here. It's brightened up now, but still blustery.

I was going to do all sorts of odd jobs this morning but ended up having a lie-in and am still in my PJs - almost unheard of!

DH tried to buy our e-visas and managed to omit my details so I have got to go through the whole rigmarole again :mad:

Will go and finish the soup and have lunch before I shower and dress, so that DH can go out to buy an important bit for his railway.

I've also de-moulded the bathroom & one of the walls in the livingroom. Bins are being moved from the front of the house to our yarden on Monday after they're emptied. I noticed a damp patch on the wall and it coincides with where the wheelie bins are stored so hopefully moving them will mean it'll dry out. I just need to remember to add "put bins out" to my Sunday list as they get emptied on a Monday morning, sometimes before 8am

Its raining again here when according to the met office it should be dry! Reconsidered going to town today as DD has a stack of homework to do still after she's had lunch. I'll go Monday instead and can go on the bus if it's raining. I can get away with putting it off until then but no later as my bill for work needs paying at the latest Tuesday. Instead I'm going to get laundry done, finish cleaning the house and sort out shopping lists etc. Off to finish vacuuming downstairs and grab some lunch myself. :wave:

Ooh thank you Pigpen you have reminded me to add the need to get an electrical socket in the hall to my 'to do ' list!

Pretty lights!

We are home again, DD has put Charlie & the chocolate factory on so I'm having a brew then im going to start again.

It's wet and windy here too so I think we'll hibernate for the rest of the weekend. Did wonder if we might pop out for groceries tomorrow but we might hang on till Monday - I can pick up the few fresh bits we need after work.

So this afternoon it's downstairs floors, my desk and then I might venture back in the loft for another box of xmas tat.

I have a charity bag that accepts bric-a-brac :eek:

Jazee

Loving the light Piggers.

Dogs walked again, lunch and cake eaten, dishes washed, recycling and rubbish put out. And the sun came out so I've spent a lovely couple of hours tidying in the garden.

But now I've run out of steam. Might have a nana nap before resuming the day.

Why do they not have useful stuff like that already?? My house has hardly any sockets .. we've added loads since living here.. I think I added 8 in the kitchen alone!!
