    Vacuum mattress before replacing with fresh linen, air the bed if possible
    15 minutes floordrobe clearance
    Level 3
    Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing
    Sort one area of clothes or linen storage making sure only what should be in there is, anything that's had it's day or doesn't belong there is removed

    Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more

    • 27 fling boogie time, time for that midweek fling, go on grab a bag and clear that clutter
    • Check the airing cupboard, anything that is way past it's use by (maybe recycle for rags if possible, you could donate old sheets oor towels to a local animal rescue for bedding)
    • Clean the bed frame where you can, vacuum if cloth covered, wipe with a cloth if wood/metal etc
    I also need to;
    - make a bolognaise
    - clean guinea pigs out as DD hasn't had time

    Hi Polly_Pod

    I'm another enthusiastic newbie, but I'm being held up by out of control asthma. Getting there though. It;s very motivating - and, since I had a manicure/pedicure to go to a Mess Dinner on Saturday night, I've even been wearing my rubber gloves to do my jobs.:A I've also just found (from reading earlier posts) that there's a whole book of this stuff. I've put it on my wish list,
    DMP mutual support thread No: 433 - Mortgage - £54,556, Credit cards - £4012, Unsecured loan - £3,376, Other - £419

    Me!

    Cut them into sticks, put them on a tray with some olive oil and some herbs if you like, in the oven at 200'c for 15 ish mins. Toss them about every so often.

    You can boil them first, but i find it makes them mushy.

    Hiya polly pod
    Most of the details are in the first thread and then if you have any questions the regulars on here are very good at helping us out. Just try not to do too much at the beginning.

    Pigpen – I’m glad you and tiddles know who is really in charge.:rotfl:.. SHE IS!!

    Pigpen – stick to your guns re SS & don’t be bullied into signing anything you’re not happy with.

    It is impossible to bully me... I may only be little.. but so are pitbulls!! :mad:

    I have just about stopped ranting now.. I offloaded on my mother and hubby and they both have ears on fire! I wouldn't have minded half so much if they (SS) had actually any idea what they were talking about.. they didn't even know I was married !!!!!!!!!
