    Good afternoon :D

    I am sitting having a cuppa & catching up on Gardeners World after a busy morning.
    I have been to town to return a couple of things ordered that didn't fit. Also picked up a few bits in town & Mr S - branded stuff we can't get in Mr A's. The new fridge is switched on. DH has taken DS to buy his fish tank :eek: as long as its ok as it would appear its the display one. Otherwise he will have to wait until next week. I spent quite a bit of time over the weekend moving furniture, sorting toys and craft stuff and cleaning in readiness.

    I have also swept & mopped the hallway, swept & mopped the DR, swept & mopped half of the kitchen (I will do the rest when we move the temporary fridges & freezer as there is no space at the moment), wiped down the front of the cabinets & kickboards and cleared some stuff off the work surfaces (they were not even visible first thing!). Oh, and I have washed the door mats :)

    I am going to pop to the lottie for a little while, as I can't get down at all next weekend as we are away - I need to keep on top of the weeding!

    Well done Nicki - you have been busy! Don't over do it!!

  • It's amazing what a bit of sunshine can do for your mood. I feel like I'm on a roll now, it's just a shame I've got 3 full days of work stuff to do now. Boooo

    Still to do:
    [STRIKE]Hang wet washing up
    Put all dry washing away where it lives (including stuff that hasn't been put away from being away) [/STRIKE] I'm so pleased. For a few hours today - washin basket empty, everything dry, everything put away - awesome feeling.
    [STRIKE]Empty dw when it pings[/STRIKE]
    Make tea.
    Tidy round every room in the house. feel like I'm fighting a losing battle here.
    Some gardening.
    Something fun with Pickle. hubby taken him to the park.

    Extras done
    Sorted through Pickle's wardrobe again
    Charity shop bag in boot
    Bag of stuff for friend sorted
    Item listed for sale on fb
    Arranged for someone to come and purchase said item tomorrow (had 5 enquiries, should have listed it for more money)
    I've accepted a day's supply for Wednesday (think of the money, think of the money.....)
    Sorted through the kitchen food cupboards and the cup/coffee cupboard, only a coupe of bits flung, but better than nothing.

    Next job: [STRIKE]swallow a frog. [/STRIKE]

    This evening
    Shredding
    Proof read hubby's tender.
    Take stuff up into office/loft.

    GoodIntentions - don't worry I won't. My kitchen is only 3m x 3m wall to wall so it doesn't take much lol

    Since my last post I've groomed the dog, had lunch, made phone calls, sorted something online instead of having to make a phone call :j vacuumed right through downstairs, stitched a sofa cushion which had come apart at the seams, and put some washing on. DS is home from his exam and has helped me do a few jobs. I've also cleared up the chaos of my material piles for projects. :o WM is on a hot empty wash to clean it out after washing floor mats. Tea is also on, so I can take the rest of the night off basically. :D DS can wash up ;)


    Manic Monday ~ Kitchen
    Level One

    Mop floors
    Extras
    • Clean filters and detergent dispensers - need to finish the laundry first
    Right, since I've spent most of the day listening to an audiobook from the library while cleaning, I think I'm going to spend this evening relaxing watching something.:D Catch you all in the morning, when I'll grab tomorrows list :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    About 2 hours of admin work done, it is suprising how much you can do when there is no one around to interupt you!!

    Hello all, having come in from work just under an hour ago there has definitely been no flying or even fluttering done here. House still looks good as we have both been out all day. Will start lists in the morning as I am officially pooped!

    Night all
