Morning all
Hope everyone is as well as can be.
Pigpen hope you are ok
Hugs posi vibes sticks and spoons where needed
Just written myself a paper copy of the list out as that worked well yesterday,
So far I've changed a couple of lightbulbs tidied up the bulb stash drawer- we have too many so will not need to buy any more for ages.
Kettle is having a descaler treatment. Wm is having a hot wash run through as I've not done that in a while, Easter flowers are binned, DGS wet bag stuff is now smelling fresh and drying.
Settees throws and cushions have all had a shake outside and are back on tidy.
Think it's time for a coffee then I'll tackle the table - not happy that I have candle wax on my best white table cloth will be looking for best way to remove that while I drink the coffee.
Have a couple of letters to post so will do thos when I pop out later.

Have a good morning all

Lynne take it easy hun, make sure you heal before you do too much; well done on trying to cut the painkillers, but don't cut them so much that you're crying with pain, ok?;)

Triffic Tuesday

Living room luxury

Level One - quick sparkle (because we all know a tidy room is a clean room in disguise;)) Done - Mr LW helped with the high bits cos I'm not safe on the step stool at present.:A
Open a [STRIKE]window[/STRIKE] Back door - for Jack to go in and out as he wishes, (kitchen and lounge door also open so he has run of the bungalow)
Clear out the dross - Binbag dance (link in the room heading;)) Done - bin day today, hurrah!
Empty ashtrays, wipe plants, water/discard your Easter bouquets N/A - no smokers or indoor plants or cut flowers
Straighten anything that's out of place Done

Level Two - dust demon
Dust everywhere and everything
this includes accessible skirting boards, dado rails and picture rails if you have 'em Done what we can do between us (see above)

Level Three - suck it and see
Thorough vacuuming - the floor AND the curtains AND the upholstery - lift those seat cushions and vacuum under them, too!
Wipe those windows then the light shines in!
Whole bungalow Dys0ned
Today's extras - remember this is TECH WEEK - check you use your tech properly and efficiently!

Empty the vacuum and beat the dust from the filters. Read the instruction manual if 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.
Ironically, I was scheduled to wash the Dys0n filters today anyway, so that's been done.:o
Back to school prep (for those to whom it applies)
Make sure homework/holiday projects are started.
Wipe out those icky, sticky lunchboxes and bags and make sure water bottles are thoroughly cleaned and effectively air-dried.
Check uniform is clean, washed, ironed and (heartfelt plea) CLEARLY named.
Check the pumps/plimsolls fit - sports day is imminent and you don't want tears when a plimsoll falls off mid-race!
^ ^ This section n/a here - the only kid here is 66 years old!! :rotfl:
Use up any manky fruit and veg - soup and cakes can be made and frozen. (see siggy) Did that yesterday - lemming cake, and sliced the final lemming up to freeze to put in my cups of tea (I prefer it to milk)

See, I've actually done the official list today!! :eek::rotfl:

Ground floor dust busted Will get Henry out for a walk later


I have taken DS2 for a haircut and then to post office to post some sales.

I am trying to keep awake and ds2 is pacing up and down whilst he is on the computer.

I have updated the Internet protection on PC and laptop. I'm waiting for ds1 to ring so we can do his too.


I had a call on my answer phone about when my car was written off last year. I have been getting lots of calls about this each week since then but most are claim chasers. I didn't call back for hours until I checked the ref number which matched some official emails I had had. They are going to close the claim down and give me back the excess. hope the fake calls will stop now.

Outside of all downstairs windows cleaned, they look so much better.
3 old shrubs dug out, blimey I didn't relise how unfit I have become, going to have to get my walking machine out again.

Off to get another 2 dug out now, then I can look for some new ones.

Thanks Valli I'll try that, I ended up not flying as I got invited to the local museum followed by pizza in town then ds2 and his friend wanted me to go geocaching with them while we were in the city centre. (Found 3 it was fun) he on,y started this weekend and is addicted to it, he goes out now armed with a little box of things in this rucksack to swap and a pen to fill in the details on the log ones. His sister got him a book called unbored for his birthday and there was a section about geocaching in it that's what soured him on.

Just having a cuppa then I'll start ironing the table cloth and see how much wax I can shift.

Valli
