yesterday, being Sunday, I didn't do anything except the dishes, and the sink wipe over. I had been invited out to an art exhibition and then to the Mind, Body and Soul expo, so I went along. I successfully didn't buy anything I didn't have a use for, or plain wouldn't FIT (in the drawer) - like that gorgeous skirt - at the market, but I did pick up a few things at the expo.
Saturday I did end up getting in the spare room and spent a couple of 15 min blocks doing stuff. Unbolting the bed was one of them. I plan to get in there again today and take the rest of the boards off the bed base and pack the parts away as best I can. Might only be along the wall, but it will take up a lot less space than a queen size bed.
Because I have personally picked up 2 live fleas while walking around the house, and its reportedly a 'good' flea season, I have partially made up my flea powder. To make this, I use equal parts borax, naphthalene flakes, cooking salt and bicarbonate of soda. Put it all in a jar and shake together, then sprinkle on the carpet. Vacuum it up a few hours later. I usually do it before I leave the house, coz the naphthalene can get a bit intense. Last night I had to just use the borax and bi carb, being out of the other two. I'll vacuum that up directly. You can find the borax and naphthalene in the 'washing' aisle of the supermarket.
I have seven cats here (without flea collars or the spot on stuff), and using this flea powder a couple of times a year seems to have stopped any major infestation.
After breakfast I'll check out the Zone 3 'to do list' and see whats on the books for that. Or I'll check now, while I am looking for the link :)
Ok, it looks like the bathroom doesn't need doing. The spare room is being worked on. There is no kids bathroom OR bedroom...but the laundry can have some attention. Excellent.
