These all put clean washing in the basket.. I take it out fold it up and they have to put it away again.. I have enough washing without washing the clean stuff as well!!

Freezer surprise devoured.. I was looking for spsggy bol and found .. chicken casserole!! How much of that stuff is in there??

I got a huge piece of lamb out to defrost for tomorrow and Sunday.. should manage both meals if I get enough veg prepped.

Having a cuppa and kicking hubby out to work then I'll make a move. once my low blood sugasr is fixed and I can stop shaking!!

Morning all. My chap did a wonderful job cleaning the carpets yesterday - it's just a shame they are a yucky brown colour to start with! They are definitely towards the top of the list of things to replace when DS & DD get a bit older.


So today I am concentrating on putting everything back and getting the lounge declutterred and tidy.

Freaky Friday- Bathroom and Study/Pc Area

Level One
Clean floors in these rooms
Level Two
Clean baths, toilets and sinks
Clear any clutter from desk
Dust PC and desk and wipe off those cup rings!!
Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc
Level Three
Wash your bathroom mats, nets, clean blind/curtains etc
Wipe down tiles in bathroom.. [STRIKE]defragment your pc while doing this.[/STRIKE]
[strike]Delete 10 links in your favourites which you no longer use or are dead![/strike] did yesterday
Clean shower screen/curtain if you have one/if required
Clear a mega hotspot!.. shred it.. and fling it.. or just burn it!
Extra mission:
Pick whichever you want to attempt:

• Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms
• Empty and clean out all the upstairs bins! (the proper bins not the rooms that look like bins!)
• clean the radiators and woodwork in these rooms
• [strike]Get those uniforms, games kits, coats and things in the wash which you will need on Monday (or not if it is half term!!)[/strike] will do it so don't have to panic a week on Sunday after half-term

Deep Clean Challenge
Scrub down the dirty marks on the walls in these rooms, and any dirty marks on the walls. When did you last clean 'under the rim'? Get a mirror and check it out.. how gross??? Wash curtains/nets etc. When did you last replace the bath sponges & toothbrushes??

FRIDAY EXTRA - Don't forget your ME time this weekend, even if it's just a nice relaxing bath or going to the pub with Pigpen!! go on you deserve it

Morning peeps, made myself a cuppa and thought I best have a sit down with it as been drinking on the go usually, so thought I would pop in and say hello. Have go kids off to school, filled 2 boxes, done a load of washing, flinged 2 bin bags of junk, cleaned Sonic out (hopefully take him over today aswell) and vacuumed where doesn't have a box on it. I think that is all but was probably more.

Pigpen they haven't set an exact date for the op but he has to go back in a week for pre op tests then hopefully within a few days from then depending on if emergencies etc happen. They're trying to set a date at a meeting next Monday but it can change. Little one who'd just had the same op is going home on Monday I think she said. Just on phone to Matthew's Mammy now and he's doing great.

I cleared my desk, but I'm not sure quite the way pigpen intended. I've put everything on an empty shelf on the bookcase :rolleyes:

I've moved my desk so it's against a different wall, and it's so much better, it actually feels like the room is bigger which is a good thing because it's quite tiny.

Glad Matthew is doing well lil_me. Keep us posted, hows the cold, have you seen him lately?

lil_me

It's not a cold found out the bacteria infection is back, not a virus which means I am not of course going to pass things on which is a relief, anti biotics again, but when I was on the phone to his Mam I have arranged to go over next week, no set day yet but she's got a lot on as health visitor, nurse, midwife, babies nurse (from hospital team) and several others visiting today so don't want it getting too much for either of them. With us moving over the weekend of course that is a bad idea to go then so would rather wait until things have settled down. Actually I might have chance to pop over Saturday after I drop the boys off. Will ask her later about that.

Right need to wake DP up, do more packing, see if we can get the garden cleared, need to take a car full to the tip!

Oh dear, I've been really bad the last couple of days and hardly done anything. Can someone give me a wee kick? (just a little one)

Excuses: IKEA trip took forever, but cleaned out bargain corner, so it's not all bad. Some cracking finds! Knackering though.

Had a client visit last night which I was preparing for, and then didn't get back until 10pm! some people can talk!

OH on nights so can't get into bedroom atm.

Have done:

- lots of ironing
-kitchen is soo tidy and no crumbs anywhere
- recycling gone to tip
- arranged someone to come and pick up the piano on Freecycle
- negotiated a brand new replacement bath for the scratched one which was delivered :T
- Got a quote for bathroom worktop
- Got my replacement cheque
- Got loads of work booked!
- made soup

not too bad actually I suppose.

Bathroom today, have already done PC area. Perhaps some paperwork. :rolleyes:

Have a lovely day all,

Check back in later.

5 minutes break while I have a drink.

Lil_me - I meant to say before (but DD distracted me :rolleyes: ) glad little Matthew is doing well. Good luck with the move, and I had noticed you were missing as well, but knew you would be snowed under with jobs

Well I've just dug out the shredder and started shredding papers. Can only do so many at a time as the noise gives me a headache otherwise so thats an on-going job today. Washing is in front of the fire and nearly dry so I'll swap the cloths on the line for the towels when all the clothing is dry, and then finish off the cloths infront of the fire.

I'm trying to rejuggle the desk a bit so I can get my feet under it instead of having to put my feet up on a pile of box-files :rolleyes: Could take me a while. Just wondering if I moved all the household-management books off the bookcase into the kitchen with the cookery books, if I could then move all the files from the bottom of my desk :think:

Also just had my bank on the phone - I'm apparently "pre-approved" for a loan which would cover ALL our debts and then some BUT would cost us £205 a month for 5 years So thats something OH and I will have to sit down and discuss as soon as possible. :rolleyes:
