My Jobs List

[ERICSMUM]

When the 3rd lockdown was announced, I vowed to make the most of being stuck at home. I wrote a Job List of things big and small that I’ve neglected for a year or so !

I’m doing well at ticking them off, plus adding more.

Last night I did a Light Bulb Audit ! 😱😹😹😹

I went through the box of lightbulbs making a list of how many and what type.

Then I made a list of lamps & light fittings and what type of bulb they need.

I need to buy a couple of bulbs to complete my stash.

Another item ticked !

Today’s jobs include going through my make up stash and throwing out items past their use-by dates, stuff I don’t like and anything lurking at the bottom of my make up bag that’s half used but covered in fluff etc.

Then it will be time to wash and re-fill various “manky” bird feeders that are covered in bird poop, dried on bits of suet balls and contain mouldy peanuts.

A very productive Lockdown !

Linda. Great to be organised, well done. I used to chuckle at my Wife and her lists. Then I became a convert.

We have actually run out of stuff to do sadly. However give it 5 or 6 weeks and the Spring clean starts so that will be on the list.

I cleared out the bathroom cupboard and found all the little minatutes I always buy before holidays. I think the problem is you "have" to buy 5 and I never actually need all of them so I have put the rest in the cupboard for next time. Then I buy them again.
I really need to sort out the plastic pot cupboard but that will involve sitting on the kitchen floor as I an unable to kneel now for any length of time.
There's also a lot of paperwork to file now Dave has finished our tax returns. And there are still a million photos that need sorting out. I suspect there will be some garden sorting today as well going by the noise last night when the storm hit!

Love a list today’s starts with clean out the junk sorry man drawer again
Then go through gds wardrobes and see what he’s grown out of local women and children are desperate for kids clothes etc
And being optimistic renew my ESTA and put the bits I’ve been buying for the villa in the suitcase

I prefer the management by post it method. First write the job on a "post it", next stick post it on the wall. When post it falls off commence job.

Thats a brilliant idea. I was quite productive in lockdown 1, lockdown 2 I was getting ready for our lovely 5 day Christmas with 2 households. This time I feel I have done nothing really productive. Think I will pinch this idea. Has anyone got suggestions for what I can put on my list?

Talking of To Do lists, this is one of my favourites. 🥰

I love things to do lists. We moved house 18 months ago and lots of stuff got cleared and sorted at that point.

My tax return is done and tax paid so that's a tick
My husband audited the light bulbs and changed everything to low power ones.
I have done a paperwork cull in the office
We have got all but one house jobs done and that is being done next week.
I have cleared out everything out of date, make up, medication etc
Freezers are sorted
Garden needs a January sort but too wet at the moment
Got to make a dinosaur costume each for hubby and me for grandsons zoom birthday party at end of January. BA freebie PJs with felt spikes and tails so we can dance on zoom in our outfits!

We had new windows fitted in November and are slowly decorating each room. As each room gets decorated and things put back in place we are decluttering in a big way!
We have come across loads of old photos and items that bring up loads of memories so have been able to have a laugh or a cry when we come across things 😊

Almost finished the dining room tackling the kitchen next, so a big cull in that room!
