Hi all

Hope everyones ok haven'y managed to catch up with the thread yet.

I didn't get any thing done on my list yesterday:rolleyes: so here's my list for today ( although it is my birthday so i might not do anything:p )

Manic Monday- Kitchen and Dining Room
Level One
Clear and wipe those surfaces, even if around things!
Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary)
Level Two
Clean floors
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, wipe any spills
Dust any other dining room furniture, check for cobwebs on the way round
Level Three
Wipe & replace small appliances such as kettle, toaster etc (wipe under too, especially the toaster!)
Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances, don't forget those kick boards
Check those washing machine, tumble dryer, cooker hood and dishwasher filters
Extra Mission
Choose one or more of:

• Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
• Wipe down any tiled areas
  
• Clean the inside of cupboard doors
• Clean microwave inside and out
  
• Clean one cupboard out, what is that in there? anything out of date? Sort through it and clean it before putting everything back

Tuesday Living Room, Hall and Stairs

Level 1
Vacuum floors and sofas
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
Level 2
Dusting, even if around everything
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Level 3
Wipe light switches and banister
Clean any other glass like mirrors etc
Tidy shoes, coats and bags
Vacuum under furniture (only if you won't hurt yourself doing it, no injuries, no pregnant people moving sofas please!!)
Extra Mission:
Pick one or more of the following tasks –

• Clear one hotspot, or just spend at least 5 minutes tackling it
• Phone a friend or loved one, catch up on the gossip or just to tell them you care x
  
• Clear one shelf, dust and replace items after giving them a wipe
  
• Clean a window, only need to do one but if you manage more then well done
  
• Using the idea Shirley suggested (where is she anyway?), get yourself a bag or box, go around collecting things that are not in the place they should be, then put them back where they should be. You could delegate and give everyone their own misplaced things to deal with

Morning ladies - and I won't say good. Today I'm very cross:mad: Had a row with my sister last night over a VERY sensitive issue which resulted in me making two more phone calls and going over it all again and then DH let me down when I needed him. Sorry to moan but I just feel so angry that I'm on the verge of tears, don't want it to affect DS but I just can't help it.

DS is happily watching CBeebies been up since 6.30am and we've been playing none stop so come on here for a little relax! the weather here is really pants so not sure what we'll do other than the shopping. Teus is normally park day but not today so might go to indoor play or visiting, we'll see. Might even put him in the buggy and walk off this temper.

Sorry chaps, see you later x

So sorry to hear about your upset tracy have a (((hug))) hope you manage to resolve it soon. I would wrap yourselves up, get your wellies on and go puddle jumping with your DS. Once you are wet what does it matter if you get any wetter?! Might work off that anger and you'll both have a great time.

I'm having a :coffee: if you want one and then getting on with ebay packing before I go to blood donors at midday.

Happy Birthday to your DS as well Pigpen not sure he'll like pink cake! If not all the more for us

:bdaycake:

W has already decided he wants a Thomas cake with 5 candles (good job as he will be 5 lol) with one of them in the funnel! So if everyone could keep an eye out for the best Thomas cake in either Mr T's, Morrisons or Sainsburys and let me know. I need it for the end of the month.

I am WET.. I took Tiddles to nursery in the pushchair and left it in the hall.. dripping.. it is that hot in there it'll evaporate before it hits the floor. she went in quite happily today, probably because her favourite members of staff were in today.

It is too gloomy to do anything.. I may just spend the morning in bed!!!
