I feel an urge...

Well today started out fairly well and continued to do so up to the point where I'd done so much I couldn't face doing anymore and ended up exhausted!

In the morning I set about writing a bit long list of everything I need to do (about 28 items!) and then sit cogitating it for half an hour to try and figure out what I need to do before my Dad arrives on Thursday and what I need to do before we go away. It was a nice plan while it lasted but after some consideration it appeared that everything needed to be done sooner rather than later. Bugger.

Anyway I guess I needed to start somewhere so I start by having a mass onslaught in the kitchen and even go so far as cleaning the oven properly. It's a big job and takes a couple of hours but whilst the oven cleaner is cutting it's way through the grime I get on with one of the other major jobs I have to do.

Since we moved here I haven't even unpacked my jewellery making kit, so that's close to 2 years it's been doing sweet FA in the workshop. The primary reason for this is that the workshop is a spider lodging, and I'm not talking little ones either, the big fat hairy types. Eeek! So, since Phil no longer uses the garage for the car I decided that I should move all my hobby kit (jewellery and stained glass) into the garage as the spiders for some reason are less ikky in there and also, added bonus, the garage is right next to the house meaning I can get coffee etc really easily!

Add into the mix that I've decided to make my jewellery for the wedding we're going to then I really needed to set all my kit out again for easy access.

So, I set about moving stuff from one place to another, tidying and sweeping as I go and happily I finish just in time to wipe the oven down which is nice and sparkly after it's degrease session.

With those jobs done I also do some work and assess what I've got on at the moment. With a new website just coming into the midst, I now have a total of 6 sites to get to grips with which is cool, but I really must get to work on them. Admittedly only one or two have a deadline but it would be nice to get them all finished to add to my portfolio.

I also manage to get my neighbours to remove the fridge freezer they asked us to save for them. It's the old one we used to have before we got our new food centre and they asked if they could have it to put in their garage. Not a problem, but since it has been sitting in the garage for a while now and I needed the space to put my craft stuff in it seemed an apt time for them to take ownership :)
