Hi

My list for tommorow.

Mad Wednesday - Living room, Hallway, Stairs
Level One
remove clutter from floors, chairs and fireplace
Make sure you have got your ebay stuff ready to list on Thursday!!! 5p listing!!
Level Two
Vacuum floors and sofas
Sort that under stair cupboard.. make sure everything is in tidily rather than thrown from a great distance!
Dust those flat fluffy surfaces
Level Three
Vacuum under the furniture you can move
Clean windows, pictures, mirrors etc.
Clear a hotspot
Vacuum hall and stairs
Extras

• Wipe woodwork in the hall and stairs
• Binbag dance.. fling a binbag of rubbish.. I don't care where it goes so long as it is out of your house!.. and that doesn't mean you can stash it in the shed or garage or the car boot!
• Make certain ALL the house clocks are saying the right time.. replace any batteries that need replacing!
• I think the children who have been most helpful today should decide what you are having for dinner.. and that doesn't mean a takeaway.. we will consider that for the weekend if you are doing a fabulous job!!! Maybe if they are big enough they can help or better still cook for you!!

Childrens list.

1. Sort out all the shoes.. make sure there are 2 of them all and put them nicely on the shelf or in the box. Encourage the person who has the most to get rid of a few pairs they never wear!
2. Oh.. I think you'll like this.. everyone gets a carrier bag.. and spends 5 mintues running all over the house putting rubbish in it.. not other peoples things just rubbish, scrappy papers, junk mail, used envelopes and things like that.. after 5 minutes we weigh all the bags and see who has the heaviest bag. The winner gets a treat (and so does everyone else!)
3. Pick up all your own things from the front room and put them away in their homes
4. Water any plants in the house.. I always forget so this is my childrens job usually.
5. If you are a bigger little person could you vacuum the floors once they are clear of stuff?

Master bedroom & landing - Thursday
Level 1
Check fire alarms are working
EBAY!! another 5..
Remove and wash bed linen and duvet covers.
Level 2
Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs..
Vacuum & turn mattress before replacing with fresh linen..
Air the duvet
15 minutes floordrobe clearance
Level 3
Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing
Sort 10 things from your wardrobe (or someone elses) that you can get rid of..
Clear a hotspot.. or spend 15 minutes clearing one.
Clean windows in these rooms
Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more

• 39 fling boogie time, go on grab a bag and clear that clutter
• Clear a box of clutter from the landing
• Clear the top of a bedside cupboard/chest of drawers or shelf
• Bake us a cake please mummy!! Or Daddy.. he can bake cakes too! Are we having it with custard or ice cream?

Childrens list.. As it is parents bedroom today I thought you could do a few jobs around the house which would still be very helpful..

1. Clear and wipe the table
2. Collect up all the dirty laundry from upstairs and plop it in the laundry basket!.. NO clean things please!!
3. Can you fill the washing machine (WM) with the sheets from mummys bed?
4. If you are a bigger little person could you spend 15 minutes tidying or vacuuming on the landing.. whatever needs doing.. I am sure there is a job that you can do that would be greatly appreciated!

Crikey it worked:eek:

I've been trying to post for 2 days but everytime i try it gets lost in cyberspace:mad:

I haven't caught up with the thread i'm off to do that now so hope everyone is ok.

I've not done anything off my list today as i took my stepdaughters shopping today for clothes for the funeral. We're going to the chapel of rest to see OH's Dad tommorow, then i'm meeting my sister's for lunch, then i'm taking my eldest stepdaughter (16) to have the implant:eek: . I don't know who's more nervous:o . So, i'm not sure how much i'll get done the house needs it though so i shall try.

SAV3R there is a real fun thing on the littlewoods website by trinny and suz where by they ask you questions, define your shape and suggest outfits.

Really enjoyed The Apprentice.

I get off lucky with DH as although he downloads loads of films and stuff to watch on his pc he does not play games. He puts headphones on as his office is under our bedroom. I can hear him laughing sometimes but that's all.

Kids spend far too much time on the wii/ps2 but I do keep going in and turning it off.

Right time for bed. See you all tomorrow.

SAV3R

Dustykitten thanks, apparently I am a vase, the celebrity I look like is Kelly Brook. I WISH. LOL:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: think she is a lot less than my 11st 12lb.

I do love Trinny and Susannah. DD is a vase and I am an hourglass. Did you get any thoughts on what to wear?

SAV3R

I usually end up shopping with OH, who is tactfull and rarely says something looks bad, trouble is I then get things home, hate them and have to make a trip to return them.

I would like a dress, but, I always wear jeans so don't have confidence to bare my legs etc. Also dont want to spend large amount, currently browsing on Debenhams site, that is expensive.

We love it when we go out ona weekend deciding what group the people belong in.. we had a whole fruit bowl on a few occasions.. apples, pears, bananas, grapes (tiny fat people!!) even a few pumpkins and melons!!

It keeps us entertained!

We are all hourglasses in my family..
