    Right..

    worktops sorted, floor sorted, bags unpacked of laundry from the outlaws.. next 3 loads lined up. DW emptied and last bits put in.. not even half full though.

    Cuppa time and then sorting Avon for OH to drop off later... and vacuuming.. and stuff..

    I'm shattered! I need to run the vacuum about too, polystyrene and Christmas tree droppings everywhere!!

    Newcomer here *waves*


    My resolution this year in summary is to get my house, finances and life sorted out. Technically I have been doing this since early December.


    Not managed to do much in the kitchen just yet, I've been looking after my friends two year old today and I have a 8 month old myself so have managed to do nothing. I tried to get stuff done but I can't hear them if I'm in the kitchen and when I brought them in with me, the two year old started pulling out everything in sight! He goes home in an hour or so so I'll put my daughter in the jumperoo and get cracking on! Its definitely easier when they can't walk!


    Personal tasks:


    Sort out toy boxes, they have been driving me insane
    Phone TV license
    Fold up drying
    Put another wash on (will be caught up woo!)
    PUT THE CHRISTMAS TREE AWAY!
    Take out ingredients for tomorrows tea to defrost (Sausage casserole tomorrow)
    Clear out fridge (I'm positive there is still stuffing balls I asked OH to chuck the other day)


    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining area
    Level One...
    Sweep and mop the floors
    Clear and wipe the worksurfaces
    Level Two...
    Wash the units and appliances.
    Give the pan cupboard a good scrub out.. fling the plastic tubs with no lids/botttoms/broken
    Wipe over window sills and shine the taps
    Level Three...
    Sort paperwork, warranties, insurance docs, phone contracts etc into a file so they are easily accessible and make notes of when things need renewing! (Going to sort out the 'paperwork/junk/c&*p drawer in the kitchen)
    Clean table and add a clean cloth if needed (look online for table cloths as don't own any and I've managed to scrub the paint off the table with wiping it!)
    Dust and deweb

    Extras
    • Binbag dance
    • Thoroughly clean a small appliance (descale kettle/decrumb toaster for example)

    • Make sure diaries/calendars are up to date with appointments!!!

    Had food and Dh returned to work, while here he got most of the boxes down from the attic do I can start boxing stuff up. Noted that we only had about a third of the deccys down this year and it still looked nice so some may be heading to the CS.
    Going to start boxing now and will hopefully be done by 3.

    well I sure am dragging out this cuppa lol..


    3-3:30pm?? anyone tempted???


    I MUST vacuum before we all choke to death..


    Don't worry, I'm not going to be this enthusiastic all week.. I have 3 school runs tomorrow and one on Wednesday so I'll be dead on my feet by then and Thursday and Friday I am out all morning so will be deaded then too.


    Oops.. we need to pop to Halfords to pick up the car seat harness for pixie.. 6 times she took herself out of the straps on the way home from the outlaws on Saturday.. Hopefully this will be sufficient to prevent (autocorrected to pervert!) her escape without resorting to a chest clip!

    Quick list update before DD get home. Instead of cleaning out the pan cupboard I did the cleaning/first aid one. I only did it in September (I note the date on the meds box) and still found stuff to chuck. I also decided I'm not buying normal paracetamol any more as the 2 packs we have expire next month and they're still sealed!

    Personal:
    Charge charger
    Charge fb's x2 (when DD gets in)
    Get DD's fb to sync
    Print 2015 finance report
    Move money & update accounts
    Set up & organise budget properly
    Set up routine checklists
    Sort stickers (1cm square)
    Mr A shop ( both coffees, milk) <-- Trying to put off until Tuesday
    Bank <-- Thursday I think
    Laundry 3 down, throws (thanks to dog running all over them with muddy paws after the park this morning), dog & cleaning to go
    Ironing
    Register fr33view box warranty on website
    Print email confirmation for box.
    HGP
    Set up wireless headphones
    Put books back on bookcase properly
    Book dentists
    Change heads on toothbrushes (find them first!)
    Shop returns & lists <--Thursday is going to be errands day I think.

    Work:
    Newsletters
    Prep books
    Check order OOS
    Pay bill
    Place order

    Off to fly some more...by juggling more laundry! How on earth do we produce so much?? :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Right, apparently this ironing isn't going to do itself. So, an episode of "Reign" (42 mins) here I come ...
