  • Good evening, I am just going to update my list and then get an early night.

    Monday - a bit of everything!
    Dust and deweb all through downstairs
    Sweep or vac too
    S&S the downstairs loo / cloak.


    Tuesday - kitchen and dining room
    Wipe down your large appliances
    Run the WM / DW on a hot wash and clean the filters
    Back to the kitchen - pick a cupboard- empty it and wipe the shelves. Only put back what you need. Can anything be ditched?
    Any laundry dried today? Put away what doesn't need ironing and sort the rest on to your piles left from yesterday
    HHI

    Just got to root out the peanut butter as I feel unable to willingly donate chocolate at this stage :rotfl:

    If you have raisins, dip them in peanut butter... seems to work :) They do eat T*sc* value chocolate, but anything better is wasted on them.
  • Did a bit in the kitchen but more work still needed. Popped to town and went to friends house so only a bit done. Plan to do a lot more to,orrow as hubby at work. Although I want to pop to some more shops and want to pop to see my mum and dad!

    I'll see what I can get done off the lists today. Tomorrow morning I'm going over to my cousin's so that she can do DD'S nails so that will be most of the morning gone and then Friday I have got to take care of my Grandma so it will be mid afternoon before I get back. DD'S birthday is on Sat plus we have a party on Sat too (not for DD) so DD wants to do something for her birthday besides so that may involve a sleepover on Friday night. In fact the rest of my holiday is fast disappearing!

    Oh well, I'll get up shortly and make a start on something.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Have a productive day everyone!
