    Good morning everyone, I am sitting enjoying a cuppa that DH made and sorting through what I need to do/delegate (DH is off this week) today.

    Twinkly Tuesday kitchen and dining
    Clear the sills and clean the windows - don'f forget glass in doors
    Clear the sides
    Wipe window sills and sides down
    Replace stuff - wipe it as you go
    Wipe down cupboard fronts/doors - don't forget the handles
    Wipe table and chairs
    dust in dining room
    wipe splashbacks
    Clean sink - don't forget UNDER the draining rack!
    Sweep/mop/vacuum floors
    If your spices are spic and span then pick another cupboard to sort.
    Make me time a priority - if littlies are taking up all your time plan something for when they're back at school


    Wonderful Wednesday - reclaim your lounge

    empty bins
    remove gibble
    remove dead or wilting flowers
    Dust everywhere - skirting boards, picture rails, dados, mantles
    etc
    Wipe and coasters to remove icky stickiness - and wipe light switches and sockets
    Vacuum or wipe sofas and seating
    Now take a CRITICAL look round - check for cobwebs
    Dust light fittings and wipe bulbs
    Finally clean the floor - mop or vacuum
    make sure your lounge is a relaxing haven for you all
    S&S kitchen and bathroom(s)
    Make sure all food in your fridge is allocated a mealplan use.
    Spend a sunny half hour in the garden - little weeds become big weeds!


    Thursday - main bedroom
    Feed the animals and let the chickens out
    Open windows as it is a lovely day here
    Finish answering question 2 for uni assessment (last assessment with OU, as heading to brick Uni in September:j)
    Collect ds from nursery
    Take rubbish to the local tip (clearing out cupboard under the stairs) and enquiry if they have a bit for duvets
    Change the duvet on the bed (got a new king sized one)
    Dust main bedroom
    Hoover main bedroom
    Spend an hour on reading for Uni
    Do some of washing mountain
    Spend an hour on ironing mountain
    Collect dd from school
    Print calendars for doing meal plans
    Sort through wardrobe
    Write essay for diploma course
    Order itison tickets to use when on holiday
    Sort through the towels and bedding (moving into cupboard under the stairs rather than having them in bedroom)
    Make a list of stuff to take on holiday
    Phone to chase up insurance documents for holiday
    Close chickens away and feed guinea pigs
    Check emails and get rid of 50
    Update list

    Hope everyone has a productive day and enjoys some lovely weather. Sorry I'm not managing to keep up with the thread, hugs to those that needs them x

    Alcohol-free gin is available, Valli, so I've added you into the round and asked for a double for Dizzy while he's passing your way. He got a bit lost, but he's on his way ....

    I'd happily help you, Piggers, but I've found gumtwig much simpler and brings just as many queries and much, much quicker results.

    Some work done on the sundeck yesterday. Most of the repotting has been done, just a couple of chive pots and a shrub thingy. Then there's a few more saucers to slide under the rest of the pots, the tree down the road to water and the urgent stuff's done.

    The dog's moulting. Aaaaaaagh.
    Better is good enough.

    Hi Everyone
    I've been to Tai Chi and now have to empty cupboards before a new kitchen is fitted.
    Hugs to all those who have problems.

    Mr M visited.
    Ironing done.
    Bedroom dusted. Checked all corners and behind the wardrobe....no Chippendale hiding there. Guess he's whizzed past me from HB to Valli :(

    'Tis what they do best. I Dys0ned up a vast quantity of Ronnie-hair yesterday.

    I've just had an email from Ronnie's Mum - she's coming to pick him up at 12:30 on Saturday. I am sooooo gonna miss the little guy; but he's coming back for Xmas. :o

    Is the Chippendale on his way to Concrete Cow Country yet? If he perchance has some halfway decent malt whisky about him, I'll be a happy Wolf. Specially as 'tis my birthday today, and I really do NOT like the idea of being 57.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Happy Birthday Lamewolf :beer: I hope you have a lovely day x

    I am working today, but have had an hour or two to myself (1 child, and he is in nursery atm). I have been filling out the forms for my DM re probate and IT. I think I have done most of it.
    I am going to spend half hour or so now catching up on some PW and then on the school run. Only 4 to collect today, so a bit quieter than yesterday :)

    Flying wise - I have emptied the DW, and that's about it!

    Ah Wolfy - it's a good age to be. I plan to join you in that club later this year.
    Happy, happy birthday xxxx

    Half way throuhgh doing my bedroom, but I have stopped for a lunch. In SW terms - lots of speed...

    Mum came earlier. We both had a little weep...but I was reminded that the last thing I said to my sister was that I loved her, and that was the last thing she said to me. How lovely to have that to remember.

    Aww happy birthday Wolfy xxx

    Missed yesterday with college and so on. Did loads of work this morning. Had an appointment and just back for a late lunch. Which is just as well since dinner will be even later, following the gym/football bonanza that is Thursday.

    Text from school about award assembly, says ks2 so must be master moo :T will go see that tomorrow.

    So, no vaccing has been done, nor bathroom cleaning, nor anything else for that matter :o but we are clean and fed and happy so that'll do for now <is there a thumbs up smiley?>

    Must call blinds people! Will do it now!

    Away with the fairies :beer:
