Oh no kitchen, I was hoping to put that off for a little while longer.

Have managed to remove everything from the lounge that shouldn't be there. It still needs a damm good clean, the striped floorboards have plaster on them, the window has plaster on it, the sofa covers are a total mess, I'm not sure whether or not I can even wash them and get them clean.

Morning all :hello: Can someone take over my life for a day or two so I can sleep please? Woken up this morning at 5.30am again only this time it was the heavy rain :mad: Ended up going back to sleep until 7am I really don't feel rested at all. I think I'll use some sleep balm tonight and go to bed early as there's nothing on TV tonight that I want to watch at a decent hour :rolleyes:

OH is out at a meeting tonight after work and is expecting to be about half and hour late or so (depending on traffic) so it is definitely a slowcooker tea tonight :rotfl: We ended up having a "gill up" (healthier alternative to a fry up :rotfl: ) to use up bacon and the end of the packet of burgers I found lurking in the bottom of the freezer. Whatever we end up having it's either going to be vegetarian or chicken or turkey based. I'm fed up with red meat. OH thinks it's Christmas though :mad:

RIGHT, since I'm decluttering & inventorying as I do each room no extra tasks or deep cleaning this time around - will do it next week So edited plan of action

• Dailies
  • Beds
  • Bathroom S&S
  • Kitchen S&S
  • 15 mins on computer - sorting photos - each break.
  • Evening meal - Something in the slowcooker I think :think:
  • Packed Lunches for tomorrow
• TUESDAY JOBS
  • Demould hallway
  • Inventory Kitchen
  • Wash load - will need to see whats what, I think I need to do alight wash but it will have to go on airers (with fire/heaters on) as it's chucking it down with rain today :mad:

• Weeks jobs
  • Join DD's gloves together with ribbon to put through coat (to stop her loosing just the one again!)
  • Make "snake" for behind front door.
  • Inventory of stuff in rooms as I go - 30 mins perday. Livingroom done, kitchen for today.
  • Ebay items ready for listing on Thursday, 5 items per day if I can manage any I'll be happy! Considering just charity shopping everything except for really good stuff
  • Update Money
  • Set up a budget for the rest of the month until Paydays for each of us. (4-6 days apart :rolleyes: )
  • Start HGP lists - amended version for me as I have a much smaller house and it started back in August (as seen here : http://holidaygrandplan.com/ )
  • Gather ideas for Christmas gifts
  • Update Christmas Card list - thinking save money and send an e-card to people abroad who's email addresses we have

Morning,
I'm doing the lounge room today.
I'm out for an early lunch and then out this afternoon, but I intend to jump in the shower and crack on as soon as DD3 has gone to school.
DS1 is away on a school trip for the week. Its so quiet, its always weird when one of them isn't here. I don't like it...
So I'm going to work my way through yesterdays list. I've found some clothes to list on ebay. I'm also going to look for more baking recipes to use up the bits and pieces of things I have in the cupboard.
I will probably need to put some washing on too.
Right, DD3 about to go, will catch up in an hour or so...

AnW'sMum

mmmmmm it's going to be one of those days :rolleyes: the ones where you can't find anything straight away.

Started off trying to find A's swim suit, they go with school and are not allowed bikinis. She has several suits but mostly bikinis, managed to find the rightone in the nick of time. But couldn't find her goggles, so can you all keep an eye out for them please. Also had to get to ask teacher for a new homework sheet. We looked at it when she brought it home the other day but it has disappeared :mad:

But the good news is we finished the painting and it looks great (think I told you all that yesterday!) Now need to put her room back together. Coffee first I think, anyone else?

Morning all :wave:

It's chucking it down here and really dark - I love it! :j But I must brave it today as I'm desperate for gas/elec and a couple of things from the shop so that will be first on my list so it's over and done with.

Saw the deep clean challenge and my eyes nearly popped out of my head...NOOOOOOOO!! I have the very cupboard that I've been putting off for months and don't want to do, what's the betting I put it off today also If I do you can all give me a kick!

Don't think I'll bother with the pan cupboard, might give it a wipe out but only had kitchen for a few months so it's not that bad, will clean fridge and cooker instead....oh joy!
