Evening ladies, the wind is still going strong here in Cumbria, I hope it ends soon or i'll have no fence left. It doesn't look like I've done much in the kitchen but it is much more organised now, need a plate rack for the cupboard and maybe a utensil pot as i'm still leaving those in the drainer rather than putting them away.

Phew after gods knows how long I've finally figured out how to put color in the text.. Now I have hit a major snag - I can't put any more onto the first post as it says too many characters.. So tomorrow's may be a bit late if not very early on Wednesday morning.

Maybe we'll have to have first post for explanation and second post for the lists?

👋 evening! sorry I am late back to the party. Thanks Natty and Valli for listys and dealing with the trials of this forum since the change over last week. I have been flying off piste today, so I have a bit to report once Ive actually checked Fred properly. Been suffering with a migraine from hell since Sunday afternoon, so I have been flying indoors with a pair of sunglasses on and technology kept to  barest minimum, and double pairs of sunglasses on when I have had to drive. Thankfully, I avoided being sick (I kept thinking stay flying in kitchen and bathroom today, tiles are easier to clean than carpet). Once I am sure it has shuffled off, then I will have a good meal.

Hugs and positive vibes for everyone dealing with storm damage atm. Sticks and spoons for everyone in need xxx. Time for me and Fred to get reacquainted!

OK here we go!

Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Level One </p>
Clean floors,
Level Two
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary)
Level Three
Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
Clean the INSIDE of the microwave... don!!!8217;t forget the ceiling!!!
Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances
15 minute fling and tidy in that junk drawer  I created a new space in kitchen cupboard, up high but visible to naked eye without playing cupboard Tetris.....its "Al Fresco/Picnic Shelf" it has all the sports water bottles, Thermos hot food flasks, lidded snack/fruit pots, bento boxes, sushi trays, sturdy re-useable plastic cutlery in DD4 old school lunch box (she always has school dinners so it needs a new purpose) leftover "one use" plastic cutlery (for shame, I brought these from the old house, but refuse to throw them away without being used even once, but will not buy any more) a box with small tubs for taking ketchup/mayo etc out of the house but without dragging the whole condiments cupboard with us, and finally a box with cocktail sticks and bamboo kebab skewers.

Also checked for expired medicines today, half finished bottles of Calpol etc. I have a small box to take to pharmacy tomorrow. 

I am fed up with amount of washing up building from the adult skints, so in the process of donating away surplus cutlery and crockery, so I only keep one meal's worth. That way if I come back and find every single thing I own used and left out with dried food turning to concrete, its only 30 minutes clean up time rather than 3 or 4 hours. I am hoping that the first time the crockery cupboard is empty, that DD1 wull wash up after herself or at least sling in the DW.

Checked the food cupboard for expired food for the bin, and near expiry food brought to the front to be used up imminently.

Extra Mission

Choose one or more of the following: 

• Make sure to keep warm when the snow arrives.
• Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
• Wash the washer drawer out if it is icky, check filters too!! did this one last week, but will count it!
• 30 minutes ironing!!! I KNOW you'll love me for that one!
