Tasks For The Weekend

Over the weekend I finished off the decoration of the main bedroom, which involved drilling four holes and fastening the hooks for tidying the curtains. That was a good job well done. I also fixed the same issue in the nursery, and took the opportunity to patch a number of small holes in various walls - mostly places where things had been screwed into the wall but where the screws had been removed. (Those will need sanded and some paint applied...) I also started the task of scanning-and-shredding my old RPG papers.

The tasks for this weekend are intended to cross three of our rooms from my revised to-do list, all from the upstairs of the house. There is one big task, and then three minor tasks, one nice-to-do, and one continuation task. Specifically:
  1. Fix the shower seals. This is now the highest-priority task remaining.
  2. Have a clear-out in my wardrobe. This will involve a cull of clothing generally, but will also include going through the three boxes stored there (again) and discarding some stuff. In particular, those BB training materials I mentioned before will be for the chop.
  3. Have a clear-out of the medicine cabinet in the en suite.
  4. Have a clear-out of the medicine cabinet in the main bathroom. (You could argue that these are the same task. However, as the to-do list is now sorted by room, they're listed separately. It's also worth noting that there's not a lot needing done here, it's mostly just a matter of tidying up and taking stock.)
  5. Continue scanning and shredding the old RPG papers. I made a good start at the weekend, but it's important to keep the momentum up.
  6. If possible (which it probably won't be), get a cover for the barbecue and get that packed up for the winter. If this doesn't happen this weekend, it probably needs to next week.
Obviously, six tasks is a pretty heavy load, especially for a weekend where I'm determined to take things relatively easy (after several hectic weeks). However, the first of these is really quite important, while the next four are all pretty small in scope. Indeed, it's not impossible that I'll get some done before the weekend.
