  • Evening,

    Well I did all the levels, but did not make it to the extras,because it took ages! However as mrsmp says, my kitchen looks bigger now as I spent some time rearranging stuff to make it less cluttered.
    Gutted I didn't get to listen to new order, Great idea Valli btw :)

    However, instead of crossing something off the toots list, I have started to write one. I have always been too scared to write down everything, but now I think I can.

    Took the dog for a long walk this morning with the girls, my friend and her two girls. We saw three lambs being born, which was lovely (but also yucky, as dd2 said).

    Wipe time! With hot water and your detergent of choice wipe all cupboard fronts and, especially, drawer handles.
    Wipe down appliances But disconnect them first....
    Wipe all switches with a well-squeezed damp cloth and don't forget the sticky sockets! And the light switches

    I'm quite chuffed -
    I've done the accounts for March
    done the monthly bank monies shuffle
    made a meal plan for the month
    up to date with my Spanish lessons
    cleared all dead emails
    post sorted - filed/recycled/ready to shred
    read leccy and posted online

    Did dailies and some of kitchen. Have dusted all except LR and spare bed/study - will do the morrow.

    Empty ashtrays, wipe plants, water/discard your Easter bouquets
    Straighten anything that's out of place

    Level Three - suck it and see

    Wipe those windows then the light shines in!

    Today's extras - remember this is TECH WEEK sign.gif- check you use your tech properly and efficiently!

    Empty the vacuum and beat the dust from the filters. Read the instruction manual coffee1.gifif you have had your vacuum for a while and do any maintenance you can safely do at home. While you're at it check the cord for signs of wear - and, if there are any, DO NOT USE IT.

    Use up any manky fruit and veg - soup and cakes can be made and frozen. (see siggy)

    Evening all

    I've finally caught up with paid stuff...I think...except for accounts for the end of the tax year but I'll do that when DD has gone back to school. Also got all the laundry washed. We had takeaway for tea tonight as its DD's birthday tomorrow but she wants to go out with her friends so wouldn't be home until gone 7pm (the club she normally goes to after school is still on). I don't mind, as I managed to get a 20% discount on it, and DD has leftovers for breakfast tomorrow ;) DD finally went to bed at 10.30pm so I've just made her birthday card (just printed out a picture and stuck it to some card, ha11mark eat your heart out :rotfl::rotfl:) and now I'm headed there myself.

    Tomorrow I'm going to play it by ear, I know what I'd like to get done, but there's not much for DD to do with her friends until club starts at 4pm so I have a funny feeling they'll want to come back here at some point since her friend wants to meet at 9.30 and I've said no hanging around in the park for hours on end. Doesn't help that a lot of her friends are younger, or look significantly younger, than DD so getting in to see a 12A in the cinema would be difficult, then there's the cost.... anyways I'll do my finances, then tackle the ironing pile. If I get anything else done it'll be a bonus. Just remembered I still have sewing to do so I might do that as well.

    Okay, list update based on what was done yesterday :p

    Monday Kitchen deliciousness
    Level 3
    Wash those windows
    Clean the floor! - needs vacuuming & mopping again.

    Check your Toots list! Can you completely cross anything off or, for those big jobs, have you made a start (eg getting quotes; looking at paint/wallpaper, made appointments?) - Toots list Jobs are sometimes biggies but they can be broken down into babysteps!
    And finally HH - ironing, gardening or something.

  • Morning all,

    I could get used to this not working lark. How funny, I get more done when I'm off work!

    Right, off to start today's list, trying to get it done before lunch then can walk the dog after it. I have my friends daughter here until 3.00, but I'm hoping they watch a Dvd or something this morning then I can get on. Hoping to get to the shops later as I need some new curtains for LR. Have a good one all, hugs etc x
