Galant - when you are a rep, a lot of your "work" is done in bars til 0500 or waiting around on day trips for your guests to return - add that to the fact that I was a 25 year old often working on my own with complete strangers abroad and with a driver I might not have met before the trip and the cigarettes were a literal kind of smokescreen security blanket. It was a lot of fun but the most stressful job I've ever done - I was often with guests for up to 20 hours a day but still "on my own" - no wonder I smoked!

Hello :j

My list so far;

Thundering Thursday- Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
Vacuum floors and sofas and may as well do whole of downstairs
Level 2
Dusting, even if around everything & water & wipe the poor neglected plants!
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
Level 3
Wipe light switches, sockets (make sure they are not switched on!!) and banister
Clean windows & any other glass like mirrors, pictures etc
Tidy shoes, coats and bags .. Are there any that need rehoming?
Wipe skirtings, doorframes and other paintwork
Extra Mission:
Pick one or more of the following tasks –

• Paperwork clearance.. spend 15 minutes minimum sorting through those piles of paper.. the bottom 6 inches is just rubbish it has been there so long I'm surprised it isn't compost!!
• Change any dead lightbulbs in the house!
  
• Clean a radiator or two.
• Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!!
• HHI.. get that mountain gone!

My list;
- change birds water if frozen
- fill up bird seed
- walk puppy dog
- clean cat litter tray
- dyson dog basket and blankets
- washing load
- dry for ten minutes and hang
- 5mGC
- declutter bedroom

Going to have a quick read of the thread to see what everyone's been up to. Has anyone else had an PM about pigpen really being a man? Just pretends he has 8 children so he can chat to us women apparently :rotfl: !

Just quickly - galantvr have you checked on control panel (windows I presume....) that you region settings are UK? Dad had the same problem when he got a new keyboard and I think that was how it was fixed... Could be entirely wrong though!

ChasingButterflies - I'm having the same problem. I unticked a box with Asia settings but still cant get the pound sign to work. BF was downloading football from an Asian tv channel and its disappeared ever since. Any ideas?

I'm not doing any more today because i cant be bothered:rotfl:
Really tired and got a bit of a headache from this morning. My brother just phoned to ask if he can come over, i'm so glad my house isnt as bad as it was. Its actually reasonably presentable:D

I've caught up on the thread! So operation ORF is a goer! Cool! Mind you, could you let me know sooner if the daily ORF operation is suspended. I don't have a laptop in the tree, now that would look really odd...a squirrel with a laptop!?!?!! I've been sat up in that tree freezing my nuts off (I had a supply of hazel nuts so I looked more authentic!).

Off to polish a mirror or two xx
