Afraid I'm off-liste today, as the bathroom is full of wet washing (on A-frames over the bath). The whole room did get a very thorough steam-clean the other day though, so a S&S will have to suffice today.

Had to take a package to the Paste Orifice this morning, so I went on the mobility buggy and took Cassie with me - two birds with one stone, and it gave her a different route for her walk.

I also kicked Mr LW off the pc and used it to do my online surveys - what a difference! So much faster than my 10-year-old netbook! Bless him, he went and cleaned the tops of the kitchen cupboards, without being asked. :A

Mr LW has been nagged into getting a GP appointment - I don't know if anyone recalls, but some time back he went about his persistent cough, and was x-rayed but nothing sinister showed up; well the cough is still there, if anything it's worse - mainly in the evenings and at night, bad enough that we can't hold a conversation without him going into paroxysms of coughing; and surely something has to be causing it. *Insert extremely worried Emoticon* Anyways, he phoned the surgery this morning and was offered an appointment this afternoon - amazing! I've never heard of the Doctor he's seeing - I assume it's yet another new GP (they have them in for a year or so at the start of their careers at our practise) but as long as they're competent, that's fine, he's not fussy who he sees (unlike me). Posi-vibes would be appreciated, pretty please.

FBO while we're on about health, should I send healing vibes for Mr FBO's paw?

Froddy Xmas will be here sooner than you think - hang on in there, mate.

In the past 2 days I have
- cleaned the house from top to bottom (not a super-deep clean, but it's clean and tidy)
- decluttered 2.5 lb at SW (I had to work really hard for that this week)
- made up DGS3's bed and the cot without the drop side for DGS4, who has just moved to a bed - but this arrangement gives me more room to walk between them than if I had set up the trundle bed for him, and it will stop him falling out on one side
- remembered to unplug the shredder, digital piano and CD/radio
- moved all bathroom and kitchen chemicals to places of safety
- bought and set up terracotta feet for my pots on the decking
- had my final supervision re my placement - just the written feedback and assignments to complete now

Still to do:
- steam clean the kitchen floor
- go food shopping
- prepare an evening meal for 7 of us
- move this PC out of the way of inquisitive little fingers
- grab a rest before the hordes descend!

It's pouring with rain here (at last) so the one thing I haven't got to do is water the garden

I may not be on liste much this week but will try to keep up with the thread.

(((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, and posivibes for MrLW

Good afternoon everyone, home from paid thing 1, and need to start multi tasking on home based paid thing 2 only I really want to get on with the kitchen list. And the Bathroom list :cool:

Tipping down with rain and its quite chilly.

Afternoon All

I have steam cleaned my hallway floor, deep-cleaned the downstairs toilet and put the laundry away. School run done, and I have already put my PJs on:D DD is practising her writing and DS is [STRIKE]destroying his bedroom [/STRIKE] playing nicely upstairs

Need to book a grocery delivery for Thursday, then get dinner on. Still grey and raining here, but it's quite nice to cosy up on the sofa

Have lovely evenings all xx

Don't forget yourself - do something for YOU even if it's only a quiet time with a book! - plan on reading some of my new book later

Have also made a HUUUUUGE stock pot of laundry gloop (hence why hob hasn't been cleaned - it's still cooling on there and I'm likely to spill some when I bottle it, so that can go on hob if I do spill any - and then be used to clean it!

:p) , WM x1 (drying on heated airer as it's been drizzly most of the day (not enough to get the pots watered, though

)) and some online banking and company paperwork too. Oooh - and tried to sort out some online investments for the 4 kids - but only managed it for 2.

Did manage to clear lots of unwanted paperwork out at the same time. DD is clearing out lots of her stuff from her room too (to make room for a double bed) so the recycling box is very full

I did and everything is sparkling and fresh. Even got the hoover pole up to the ceiling and rid the room of some pesky spiders.
