Good Morning All

Have a good day Mrs MP - It sounds like your workplace think an awful lot of you, you are obviously doing a marvellous job hence being asked to do extras on all fronts. Just remember to look after yourself too!
If you're reading Dizzy please let us know how you are xx

Slept quite a bit better last night and the cold seems to be "coming away" today. Here's hoping it will be gone by this time tomorrow. Lots of flying and sorting needed today, and yet more updating of the financials. We have promised ourselves that 2017 will be the year we get ourselves entirely straight and I have been so good at not wasting any money so far this year. Long may it continue.

Off to shoo the littlies upstairs to get dressed! Have lovely days all xx

Thanks ATB, there's just a lot of staff ill at the mo so I am able to fill in for them. I just wish the teaching asssistants course that was mentioned last year would actually happen. Then I would feel a bit more offical at what I'm doing. lol I still feel like I just filling in and muddling through, still as you say they must be happy with what I'm doing or I wouldn't keep getting offered extra shifts.

Glad your cold is easing, have a good day. X

Morning!
Day at home here, much needed. WM going for second time. Furries cleaned out. My laundry put away, still to do kids. Next job is downstairs loo. Then kitchen dailies. Hopefully have a bit of study time too, although I'll take a book to gymnastics later... and some post-it notes, lol.

I currently have a little wooden but in my lounge, so want to find a home for that today...

Hut, not but!

bit of a leisurely breakfast today, as today's assessment has been cancelled. I'm leaping into action now as not only does it mean I have more time to finish the reports outstanding, but it means one less to add to the list to write up!

- Long list written.
- contacted BIL about ordering MIL a new cooker as he can get discount.
- checked cashback on confirmed fridge/freezer order for MIL
- clean dry washing put away
- another load washed and hung on clothes horse - no rain or snow yet but sky looks ominous and it is considerably colder than yesterday.
- bird feeders filled

Quite a lot to do
Manic Monday - Let's start with the lounge!

Level 1
[STRIKE]Hopefully we are completely de-christmassed![/STRIKE]
Open the window even if only for five minutes
[STRIKE]Empty the bin[/STRIKE]
Give the sofas and seats the once over - leather wipe or a just-damp cloth to move any marks
Lift and swap cushions and seat pads - vacuum underneath before replacing any
Rinse and squeeze out the cloth and wipe sockets, switches and door handles

Level 2
Dust all surfaces - don'[t forget the skirting boards
Give light fittings a dust, too
Check ceilings, covings etc for cobwebs - especially if you had a real tree!

Level 3
Vacuum the floor
Polish the windows
Plump up cushions
Make sure that nothing is in here which doesn't live here
Don't forget dailies - S&S in the kitchen and bathroom

Extras
Make sure your new 2017 diary and/or calendar are up to date with birthdays and key dates (insurance renewal, MOT etc)
[STRIKE]Make sure your freezer inventory is up-to-date post christmas [/STRIKE] Am eating my way through it instead


Terrific Tuesday - bathing beauties

Level 1
Damp cloth in hand, wipe all switches and door handles
Scrub the toilet(s) and spritz with bleach
Wipe the outside with hot water, a cloth and detergent - don't forget those places you cant actually see
Empty bins
Polish mirrors and wipe windows

Level 2
Clean baths and [STRIKE]shower cubicles[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]wash shower curtains or wipe screens[/STRIKE]
Wipe the panels
Polish taps

Level 3
Clean hand basins One down one to go
[STRIKE]Make sure there's plenty of soap for handwashing - essential to keep bugs at bay[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Change the towels and mats[/STRIKE]
Mop floors
Wipe loo roll holders

Extras
Check through all those cosmetics, potions and lotions - if they are gathering dust be ruthless and get rid! Unused/unwanted can go to food banks/chazzer.
Wash toothbrush holders and toothmugs
Clean out the cabinets, wipe shelves and put stuff back neatly.

15 minute challenge
If you are fed up of clutter then it needs a home. Spend 15 minutes removing everything you don't want in a room from that room. Now that the room looks better be critical about what you have taken out. If you need it find it a forever home, if you don't fling it. If you haven't space for a forever home for it then something else has gotta go to make room. Houses don't have elastic walls and hoarders we are not!

Afternoon! Well I have just had early lunch, I was so hungry . This morning I have completed all levels on Thursdays list! Yippee. Now I am backtracking and working on Mondays list.
We has snow forecast for between nine and ten this morning but got non. I am dissapointed as I am so organised I won't need any shopping for over a week. I wanted to be snowed in !

atypicalblonde

Loads of chores done, and the house looks rather good now if I do say so myself!

I found a £2 coin in my waterproof pocket, and I am going to treat myself to two bunches of daffodils when I walk down to school later. I have just got rid of my poinsettia, and need some colour and fragrance around the place.

I have also tidied some pennies to the mortgage, and watched an episode of Without a Trace xx

We have sleet forecast at 3.00 and heavy snow at 4.00. i was planning to leave home at 3.00 and drop off a couple of bags at the CS on our way to horse piddle for DH's cardiology appointment. And whichever route you take, it's almost all uphill

I have flown around and cleaned everything that needs doing that I didn't clean yesterday, IYSWIM.

Lame Wolf, the parsnip soup is on the hob and should be ready in 10 min.

GWS poorlies. (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed x
