    Thanks for the list will be joining in as much as I can. Have made good start in living room and dusted everywhere.


    Not walked dog yet as its so wet and windy -maybe later!


    Thanks to those who made suggestions about my parents and the shopping problem. I am hoping mum will at least think about the milk delivery She is very resistant to change and when either I or my sister come up with suggestions to help she can be quite difficult if its not what she wants!!!icon9.gif


    Oh well best make a move or I will nod off ;)


    Hugs

    Thank you for the mermaids tail pattern pigpen

    Been lashing it down here all morning but had a dry hour so managed to stay outside all lunchtime.

    Got two more squares to cut out, then I'll crack on with clearing the ironing pile.

    This cleaning out the living room cupboard is taking longer than I thought, guess that's what I get for not filing anything since moving in nearly 3 years ago..... I'm not putting anything away until it's finished but off to collect ds from school, I may get something from the list done today hahaha
  • Please count me in this week, not been online much but have been doing some basic flying so need to get back into the groove with things especially as half term next week.

    Have sorted kitchen so all surfaces are nice and clear, want to get cupboards wiped out and check stocks and clean the oven tomorrow. Also proper clean in bathroom tomorrow too.

    Finally sorted one toppling pile of paperwork into a proper folder. A second pile currently stashed in a drawer is next on the hit list.

    School time, then need to get lasagne made for tea.

    It's no good - I'm just going to have to go on to the shops because I really don't think there is going to be a dry spell; it seems to be getting worse. The lengths I have to go to for a cup of tea!! At least I haven't had to do the school run which is normally when the weather really steps up a gear.

  • Hi all

    Coping vibes for Dizzy and MummysRoy. Stunning knitting Pigpen.

    Well I was up at the crack of dawn, made mince hotpot to go in SC, sorted some washing and swished the bathroom. Paid stuff until half two then home, washed up, loaded dishwasher, whizzed round with carpet sweeper and rehomed various bits of gibble.

    Off back to work in a minute. Will work till 6, then gym class, then home.

    LR will get a dust when I get home if I still have the energy. Its fairly tidy in there.

    Right, got to go x

    OK, let's have a good laugh, and see how [STRIKE]little[/STRIKE] much I can manage off the Official List (ty, Piggers)

    Marvellous Monday Mayhem! ~ Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Level 1

    Vacuum through the living room, hall and stairs Whole bungalow done
    Most important of todays tasks.. HH-knitting or whatever delightful creative pass time you choose! HH of brushing two little fur-balls, to make them all pretty for their journey home. Fwiw, I find dog-grooming therapeutic, so I think it counts. ;)
    Level 2
    Dusting, even if around everything
    Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe N/A
    Clean windows and all glass.. including the tv screen
    Pounce upon the piles of coats and shoes and fling the ones that are no longer worn/needed/fit/wearable N/A - but I have put my dog-walking stuff away as Millie won't be here til Saturday.
    Level 3
    Wipe and water plants N/A
    Put all your hotspots in one pile and work your way through it.. N/A No hotspots here! :T
    Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself Sorry, can't move anything myself; have done as far as I can reach without moving stuff
    Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks
    1.Filing.. find a pile and file it N/A
    2.Wipe down any paintwork that needs it.
    3.Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!! Done - bins and recycling
    4.HHI N/A

    I'll try and do a spot of dusting, once my back stops complaining about vacuuming.;) But I don't think I've done too badly, all things considered.

    The Princesses have gone home, so the bungalow seems very empty.

    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
