Shopping Day - Thursday

Thursday - Shopping Day

Shopping day, doesnt it sounds absolutely fantastic.  It is pretty good, but not quite as good as you are thinking, but please keep reading anyway.

Thursday is when I do all my shopping, grocery shopping, gift shopping, clothing shopping, yes all those little chores, and still great, but not always so much fun.

This is a follow-on  - kind of - from Tuesday - Paperworkday.  I do all my planning on Tuesday, and then the actual shopping on Thursday.  We have late night shopping here on Thursday which makes it a little easier.  Some shops are open to 7pm, some even to 9pm. 

I start with the grocery shopping, then go home and unpack everything, and head back out for the little things that I need for the coming weeks.  Maybe Fairy Princess needs new pyjamas, or Fathers day is coming up and I need to get the Fishing Rod Papa has been hinting around for MONTHS, or maybe I just need to get some birthday cards to mail - DONT FORGET THE STAMPS.

Toilets - A Clean Story

I clean our toilets three times a week, nearly every second day.  This might seem like alot but I like to keep on top of it and with Mr King, and 3 year old Princess, not everything makes it into the bowl.

I clean ALL the toilets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday - we have guests on Saturday nights waaay more than Fridays, so always present a clean toilet - VERY important for guests.  There is nothing worse than going to someones house and getting a not-quite-clean toilet to use. YUCK.

I start at the top, wiping the handle, door, window sill and walls before moving onto the toilet.  I use throw away wipes and work from the outside in on the toilet itself.  Then I use Toilet duck - always with bleach, and vacuum and wash the floor.

On a side note, please dont be tempted to get Lemon toilet duck, Yellow coloured water sitting in your bowl can give the wrong impressions to guests - even if it is Lemon Fresh.

• Wipe Door and Handles - inside and out
• Wipe Windowsill
• Wipe Walls - Spot Scrub (include light switch)
• Wipe Toilet top, top of lid and sides of cistern
• Wipe below bowl, and nooks around bottom
• Wipe underside of lid, top of seat and underside of seat
• Wipe actual bowl and scrub where needed
• Use Toilet Duck
• Vacuum and Wash Floor

Paperwork day - Tuesday

Tuesday - Paperwork Day

Tuesday, the number two day, the second day of the week.  Oh no a wiggles song, yes I have toddlers.  Anyway, Paperwork day.  This is the day we get the next round of 'junk' mail - quite possibly my favourite day of the week, I love sitting down quietly while the kids and Mr are in the bath and planning. 

On paperwork day I plan my grocery list, menu, and shopping list.  This is also the day I write up the plan for the following week and 'pencil' in activities.  Paperwork day is also the dreaded 'Bill Paying Day'.  We get paid on Thursday so depending how much money there is I may only set it up on Tuesday to come out on Thursday - YAY internet banking.
