  • Morning all..
    Thanks for the lists Natty.. I’m in for the week.. well for as much as is possible.

    Up, munched, coffee on board
    Items put away
    DPA, sides wiped down

    Boiler man is here to service the boiler and replace a pipe.. (although it looks like just a repair on the pipe as the previous installer has simply put it in not glued it as it should be:eek:)
    Yes.. pipe now glued and should no longer drip! :T

    Will be looking at the list..
    Ha.. replaced toothbrushes on Saturday.. :j I’m ahead already :rotfl:

    Washing on line. Tea in SC - well first three ingredients, to get it started. Back in bed with a coffee though.

    Morning all. Lovely blue sky and sunshine here :)

    Joining in the :grouphug:

    Achievements so far:
    - put away the laminator that I left out to cool down yesterday
    - checked bank account
    - changed annual payment date on a SO so that it goes out on the date each February when there is no Council Tax to pay :money:
    - filled in, printed off and scanned some forms and emailed them, in response to an email that I only received on Saturday - go me!
    - cleared a few more papers off my desk
    - ate breakfast with DH

    Now about to have my shower and dress, then more piles of paper needs to be cleared. Also need to do WMx1 as someone spilt red wine all over one of the church tablecloths yesterday when we were celebrating a couple's 60th wedding anniversary (fortunately it has come out with Va**sh). Hoping that the sun stays out until I take Rosie out.

    ((Hugs))) spoons and sticks for all xx

    Me again. I've done everything from my original list except hoovering and mopping through and official list stuff. I've also just managed to get the recycling out as the bin men arrived, got the first of four washloads in the machine and submitted meter readings.


    Its so cold out today and the light is strange. I only managed 15 minutes in the park with the dogs, so just having a cuppa to warm up again before cracking on.

    Floors done so I suppose that's a job off the list too. Steam mop makes it much easier. Lunch now then going out for most of afternoon.

    I'm here - thanks Natty :A

    Hugs to all who want or need one xx

    I'm hoping February is a better month than this one. I've had a stinker of a cold since Thursday and it doesn't seem to be showing much of an improvement. I didn't go into work on Friday but I'll have to go tomorrow as I need the money!

    List for when I have any energy :o

    Monday Madness- Bathroom

    Level One...

    Clean floors

    Level Two...
    Clean bath, toilet and sink
    Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches

    Level Three...
    Wipe down tiles in bathroom
    Clear a mega hotspot!.. shred it.. and fling it..or just burn it!

    Hello all
    Fluttering along here, worked until just after lunch and then went and signed some paperwork and paid deposit for new boiler for tennants. Breakfast was eaten for my lunch (all bran & banana) so hoping that will keep me going until dinner, I need a few light days as I have set myself an objective of being lighter each 1st of the month. Not set an actual number but must be lighter. We'll see what happens on Friday. Before I went out this morning I made the bed and put dirty clothes in laundry basket. House is still looking quite tidy and I unpacked weekend bags and put everything away on Sunday night when we got back (instead or leaving it for ages like I usually do). Time for a cup of tea now and to make a phone call to try and stop a frog turning into a toad
    Hugs to all that want or need

    I tried that last year. I'm a 1.6 kgs heavier than I was at the start of 2018, so it didn't work for me. However, we've finished nearly all of the goodies bought for Christmas and OH's birthday, so from 1 Feb I plan to cut out cheese, chocolate and sugar until I get back to about 63 kgs, so about 4.5 kgs to shed. I hate being this chunky around the middle. Good luck with your regime.

    (((Hugs))) for Valli and ATB.

    I've just unpacked the shopping and Twiggle found the Madeira Cake mix (for special occasions only). She ripped the corner of the bag off and was licking the mix like there was no tomorrow. Odd little cat.

    I've done the minutes that normally hang around like a bad smell for weeks, and this time within five days of the meeting. *shines halo* Nothing else off my list since Thursday afternoon, so that's a bit grim. The house looks passable though.
    Better is good enough.
