    I'm in again this week.
    I only managed the basics last week. I went back to work on the Monday last week, my sinuses and glands objected and I ended up at home sick for the rest of the week :o .
    So much for getting on tops of all the jobs in the hols and keeping up to it!

    I've done lots of cooking this weekend so the kitchen is ready for a good sort out. Especially the random tubs drawer.

    Ooh I must tell you, we have a new addition to the family.. of the eight legged and hairy kind! The twins decided to spend their Grand National winnings on a Chilean Rose Tarantula :eek: .
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j
  • In this week...I must try harder.....

    Killer Kitchen - Monday
    Level One

    Clear and wipe work surfaces
    Open the windows and let in the spring!
    Level Two
    Sweep and Mop the floor
    Clean the gacky filters and drawers from DW's, WM's etc
    Wipe the cupboard fronts, appliances and all those manky corners!!
    Level Three

    Soappie I don't do hospitals, police, pets, soaps (please don't tell me that's where you get your name from)

    No, my online name does NOT come from watching soaps etc. - I don't do those. My online name comes from the fact that at one point in my life (and not THAT long ago) it was said by a couple of people that my life was running like a soap opera.

    Fortunately, my life is more like a David Attenborough documentary (but without the sex ~sigh~) these days but Documentie doesn't quite have the same ring about it

    **sigh**

    I always seem to fade in reporting on my flying towards the end of the week.
    House is still a dusty mess, but I spent Saturday morning in the garage. It looks great! And there is more room for the car now :D

    Took a huge load to the recyclers - old sports gear, sets of drawers, old tv cabinets etc. - that were just sitting in the garage taking up room.

    Worked all day yesterday - had a sale day so was fairly busy. Today I'm knackered, but here at work (on my morning tea break).

    So - todays list:

    Killer Kitchen - Monday
    Level One
    Clear and wipe work surfaces
    Open the windows and let in the autumn!
    Level Two
    Sweep and Mop the floor
    Wipe the cupboard fronts, appliances and all those manky corners!!
    Level Three
    Wipe the table, replace cloth if needed
    Clean all those small appliances, wipe their home then put them back..
    Wipe the gicky things out of the fridge.
    Extras
    • HHI .. with your clean iron!! I MUST DO THIS!
    • treat the pets for fleas!!! This is prime time for them to be developing an infestation.. the last thing you need in your house! (still not done mine.. bad me!) DONE LAST WEEKEND
    Will leave deep cleaning till the weekend.

    Other stuff:
    Weekly menu - sort of done
    grocery list
    Grocery shopping
    Update finances - shift some money around


    Prettypennies - a Chilean Rose Tarantula :eek: - pics please
    Pigpen - hope your tummy settles down soon
    beckyandjack - hope you've started your flying . . . good luck
    Nicki - where are you up to on Desperate Housewives over there?
