Soappie.. get that shelf unit sorted.. trying to hide it behind the door with books slobbed over and a bedraggled plant on the top!! tut tut.. you can have a cat crunchie..

Kitty... for dog biscuits you have to do a lot.. I am a hard task master (I beat you lot with my feather duster of power because I don't do anything much lol)

AnW'smum.. you can have a dog biscuit.. I HATE sorting through the childrens clothes it takes me the best part of 2 weeks to get through them all!! It has needed doing in here for about 4 months.. and I want to transfer DD2's stuff to a chest of drawers rather than the cupboard she has at the moment and I have a wardrobe to empty and dispose of!

pigpen

ooh.. Mudbath... dog biscuit for you for finishing those accounts!!! ..

Evening all

Hugs to anyone needing one, along with get well wishes appropriately distributed! Welcome to all Newbies too.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a DIFAEBH OH. Don't they drive you mad? :mad:

I'm going to stick to my own list again. I keep hoping if the family notice, they'll start joining in.

Manic Monday - Kitchen, Utility and Dining Room/Area

Level One
Clean floors in these areas

Level Two
Wipe down surfaces
Wipe kitchen cupboard fronts and kickboards
Wipe down fronts of major appliances (cooker, fridge, freezer etc) and inside the microwave

Level Three
Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
Clean washer drawer, filters on the dryer, dishwasher and cooker hood filters
[strike]Clean the oven if missed last week or it needs it
[/strike] Did it this morning. :j
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!
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 like kettle, toaster etc (wipe under too, especially the toaster!)

And dailies:

DW
TD
BM
CM
Feed dogs, cats and fish
Groom dogs and cats
Walk dogs
Plan dinner
Prep for work

DS has just been on the phone to his GF. OH and DD were round there earlier as we had a table in their summer house and we needed to move it. DD said that GF came into the room and no one even spoke to her (both parents and brother)! I so wish I could just go and get her and tell her she doesn't need to go back anymore. She is so in need of love and attention, apart from the fact that she is ill. I'm filling up just thinking of how she was when we had to take her home yesterday. Apparently, she told DS, her parents have decided what they are going to do with her DLA! (They had previously said they would use it for a holiday!!!) I said that if she leaves home, it goes with her. It actually constitutes financial abuse if they misappropriate her money without her express agreement. Sadly she will agree, just so it doesn't cause another argument. I am so angry about this. :mad: Short of kidnapping, any suggestions welcome. She was very restrained in what she said to Social Services when they saw her last week, so that didn't go very far. She still hasn't been given her mobile phone back and her father has also taken her bank book and been taking money from her account. I suppose they would argue that they gave it to her in the first place. If ever parents were responsible for driving a child away from them, they would take the Oscar for it. The trouble is I don't think they even realise how bad she is feeling. They seem oblivious.

Thanks for the dog biscuit pigpen - did I tell you i'd finished my accounts?:rotfl: .

DH has just bought 20 boxes down from the attic. So far i've filled two bin bags with total carp, 3 boxes for car boot and one picture to keep :rotfl: . I'm being ruthless. I've just chucked my 10000 word dissertation from my third year at university along with most of my assignments. They're 20 years old and i'm never going to look at them again. I've also managed to get a crate of photographs down to about 100 pictures. I've kept the ones of family, friends and pets (lol) and chucked most of the 100 pictures of each view from holidays when I was about 12! :rotfl: . I also found four brand new photo albums so i'm going to put the photos in albums. Found our old nursery curtains - they only fit a small window but were sooooo sweet with little teddy bears on. It takes me back .

I'm in again this week after nearly 3 weeks sunning in Florida. I can't beleive how hot it is there at the moment (upper 80s)- it's not usually that bad at this time of year.
Don't worry though I did have to do some cleaning whilst I was there but only because I won't pay our management company to do a spring clean when I always go at least once a year and it only takes a day.
Still back in the real world my house is a complete state - the kids have spent all weekend flitting from one thing to the next and leaving devestation behind them. Still they are back at school tomorrow so I can get back on top of it.
Heres to a good week everyone.

Oh I am pleased you got the accounts done.. have a dog biscuit.. lol

I didn't realise you were actually old enough to be my mother!!! ok.. well.. maybe not.. but.. well.. older than I thought you were.. that is a compliment.. kind of.. it is meant in that direction.. hornets..
