Tuesday - Lovely Living Rooms and Safe Stairs
Level One
[STRIKE]Vacuum floors in these areas, even if around clutter
Check fire alarms are working
[/STRIKE]Level Two
[STRIKE]Move things so you can vacuum under them
Vacuum and wipe (if needed) sofas
Dust any areas below eye level
[/STRIKE]Level Three
[STRIKE]Dust anything above eye level (if safe to do so)
Clean light switches and light fittings (if you can reach the fittings safely, make sure they are off first!)
Clear anything that shouldn't be where it is, should the magazines really be on the floor?
[/STRIKE]Extra Mission Tasks - as usual if you fancy tackling something else you could try one or more of these

• [STRIKE]Clean a radiator or more if you have time [/STRIKE]
• Spend 15 minutes sorting paperwork, dealing with anything urgent NOW
• 27 Fling Boogie, you know the routine, grab a bag and clear that clutter!
• [STRIKE]Sort one drawer or cupboard you've been putting off even opening! Even if it's just for 10 minutes. [/STRIKE]
• Find a place for something that doesn't have one, what are you sick of moving from one place to another? or what just gets dumped because it doesn't have somewhere to live? (Partners and children not included, no rehoming of those today unless necessary)

Sofas moved hoovered under and all wiped down:D , problem putting the 3 seater together as the 2 ends are recliners so it all comes to pieces which is great for moving it but a real s0d to click them back in place.

Am very happy with what Ive done so far. Will do hall next and hoover through still have 20 mins till I have to set off to collect littley. Loaf out of BM just waiting for machine to cool down so I can put stuff in for pizza dough, need to make a batch up for freezer. We got a take away one on Friday and with a portion of chips and garlic bread cost over £10:eek: , what a rip off.

I'm thinking seriously of calling the police on that car...

He has sat in his car, only went out once for 5 mins, since 9am. and was sitting outside the next house before that since about 8am (he was there when I got up). It's a bit weird. And as I have no blinds and huge windows right now, he is always looking in!

maybe I can give them the old 'I'm a bit scared because I'm here on my own with my young son...'

That would teach him for parking in MY space!

Or maybe I just need a good seeing to as I seem to be quite obsessive about people stealing my space....

OMG! I can get a pair of night vision goggles and what not and a couple hundred cats!

Tia does seem a bit strange him just sitting in his car all that time. If he is an undercover copper he's not doing a very good job. i would take a note of his registration number if I was you, but then I have an over active imagination! Maybe its someone from the flying squad:rotfl:

And no I have not moved since my last post:o

tiamai_d

LOL! Shell, wait till I tell hubby there is someone more imaginative than me!

He has a lunch box with him! So is he just going to sit in his car.... oh maybe he got fired and his wife doesn't know!!! She is out working and there he is sitting in his car, reading a paper, bet if I watch long enough he will start 'fiddling'....

And when are shades blinds going to turn up? I tell you, they have till 12 then I have to go out and they will be getting a call and I shall rant! Like what I am doing now, on my high horse!

Pigpen, I have a 7 year old boy - he's obsessed with Doctor Who, so he has asked for Doctor Who toys - would your 8 year old like anything like that?

I have the voice changer mask things.. one each for the 11 and 8 year olds.. they'll love those... they haven't really seen much of the series TBH as most of it I thought was too.. well.. inappropriate. They can't differentiate between reality and fantasy most of the time and would get really paranoid they were to be 'upgraded' or soemthing.. they are strange things my boys.

They LOVE star wars and dragony things.. Pirates, etc. They have dressing up fetishes too which is really hard to cater for now they are bigger.

thanks

Maybe its your Shades man, your his only appointment for today so he is dragging it out. Maybe he is gonna tell you everything you have been upto this morning so he can convince you that you need to buy everything he recommends. Sneeking marketting ploy! See you got me going on the conspiracy theory now - lol!

And yes i have moved and the hall has been hoovered and cobweb swished.

pigpen

Tia.. he is probably working for the DSS and spying on someone accused of benefit fraud.. BOMB HIM!! Go blow his car up!!..

He could be a Russian assassin.. waiting for the old lady with her shopping trolley who is really a secret agent working for MI5 spying on a Polish immigrant... who used to be a spy!!

He could be waiting for that woman up the street to kick her hubby out to work so he can go in.. and 'fiddle'

Dare you to just go knock on the window and ask him!! lol..

pigpen

Tiddles has JUST got up!! and is complainign because everyone has gone to school and hubby is at work and he is supposed to do her breakfast lol.. she was not impressed when I said I was doing her food.. she is only having rice krispies.. I can do those!

Morning :wave:

Michelle you sound absolutely knackered, please try and take it a bit easier x

I've never had compliments about my shiny floor before. I like it. and it's laminate, cheap as chips, and always looks gleaming even when I know it's not, my best buy ever.

pigpen I'm not very imaginative when it comes to presents, I usually opt for the easy version which is DVD's but you don't have a tele do you? If I spot anything I'll post it up.

Littley went to school this morning, she's better. she was better at 2pm yesterday actually and was a right worky ticket all the way up till bedtime, I think you may be right lil_me I think she was just hyper and mega excited and maybe feeling a touch left out with DD1 coming home.

Speaking of which the poor little loves broken hearted, me? I'm just angry for her, it's probs a good job he doesn't live up here, and that's all I'm saying lol. She came round this morning and had another good cry so that's what I've been doing up till now, did manage to get some of my dailies done earlier on though.

I've got the mother of all headaches now so I'm gonna go and lie on the bed for a bit to see if it eases, I'm stressed so need to calm down.

laters lovelies x

pigpen

oh embb.. poor lamb give her a big hug from me and tell her she will find someone who knows she is as special and lovely as she really is.. and he will get his come-uppence. At least she has you to come home to!!!
