    hiya all
    g&b and mumofjust2 and mudbath, I'm watching too. I think I feel a bit sad for them really. There must be a need in their lives that isn;t being met, whatever that may be, Makes me realise I am pretty lucky.

    I'd agree Jill, to start with I just found it weird but the more I watch you can see there's something missing from their lives. Have I missed what happened to Harry or haven't they said. She seems the one who's the most affected by it all. I am so lucky.

    I wanted to say that but as I'm new on this list I thought I'd better not:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hiya Dusty
    I did notice he came in clutching a fruit shoot and he said it was his second one...i'm a meanie and don't really buy then so it could just have been liquid overload.


    DD tends to drink water or milk ..... but when she has juice ... her loo visits are way higher ......

    Harry and his mum emigrated to New Zealand, i thought the way she was talking he was dead:confused:

    I did too. I wonder how her daughter feels about the way she is.

    Zed - yip, my two only usually have water and milk so I think that might be part of the problem. Thank you for your support xx

    Tomorrow I have plans, which don't really include cleaning, so let's see:

    Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room/Area
    Level One
    [strike]Clean floors in these areas [/strike]
    Level Two
    [strike]Wipe down surfaces
    Wipe kitchen cupboard fronts and kickboards
    Wipe down fronts of major appliances (cooker, firdge, freezer etc) and inside the microwave[/strike]
    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
    C[strike]lean washer drawer, filters on the dryer, dishwasher and cooker hood filters
    Clean the oven if you missed it last week or it needs it
    [/strike]
    Extra tasks if you want to do more
    • Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
    • Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps, a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
    [strike]Empty one shelf (or the top of a cupboard) clean it, clean what's on it and put it all back
    Clean out and organize one cupboard, more if you like
    Wipe & replace small appliances likekettle, toaster etc (wipe under too, especially the toaster!)

    Clear anything from the stairs! Safe stairs are a must
    Level Two
    Move clutter so you can vacuum under it
    Vacuum and wipe (if needed) sofas
    Dust any areas below eye level
    Level Three
    Dust anything above eye level (if safe to do so)
    Clear anything that shouldn't be where it is, ahem that includes that cup!
    Wipe the bits next to the steps on the stairs, yours might be skirting board, edging of some sort, grab a cloth and give it a wipe
    Extra Mission Tasks - as usual if you fancy tackling something else you could try one or more of these
    • [strike]Check where important documents like passports, birth certificates, driving licences, medical cards are and make a note of where they are and if any need replacing, changing etc (yes I know it's repeated but lots of members were not about when it was done) [/strike]
    • [strike]Spend 15 minutes sorting paperwork, dealing with anything urgent NOW[/strike]
    • Wipe down window frames in these rooms (inside) clean any marks from window
    • Clean out the vacuum cleaner, empty the bag/bucket, clean filters if they are washable MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PUT THEM BACK UNTIL THEY ARE DRY!
