Am going to try and join in this week. Not sure how successful I'll be but I know I must get this house sorted again. Since returning to work in July I feel things have slipped and I need a routine again. As I work full time I doubt if I'll achieve it all but some is better than none...is it not.
So home jobs for tomorrow are:
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 anything out of date?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
Photocopy worksheets for yr 12
Check all work/lessons are ready for yr 8 and yr10

Write notes for Tues meeting

I know I shouldnt say this but I'm tired, so have decided all I'm going to do is load the DW and then get up early in the morning to do the school clothes and lunches. It'll mean getting up about 5.30/5.45 but I'm tired NOW.

Not done much flying today as been to see High School Musical on ice with dds - we all loved it - the merchandise was extortionate though - luckily they had saved their xmas money so were able to buy something!
Done 2 WM loads, hoovered through and made delish Nigellas ribs n chicken for a quick tea! then mad rice krispie cakes with dd's as was too late to bake properly as we had sky+ 'd dancing on ice and wanted to watch it before they went to bed.
Not much flying gonna get done tomorrow either as its my birthday! so goin out to lunch with a friend (and ds!) and then family coming round at teatime (only cooking for the kiddies though!)
Can't remember when I last posted or everyones posts but -
Hugs Solway - glad you are feeling that you made the right choice
Happy Birthday A (anws daughter) for tomorrow (we share it!)
Hope you've enjoyed your meal Tracy - after whatever made your day a hard one
Michelle - please get some rest as there wil be no time when you have 2 kiddies - take it from me LOL
Lilme - thanks again for the thread and hope DS's wake up in a better mood
