13 Before 2013

I've seen this on quite a few blogs that I read and thought I'd give it a try.

There's so much that needs doing and I think that this will help keep me on track.

1. Make Christmas cards
   - I always send out quite a few Christmas cards each year and this year I've decided to make them using recycled materials. I buy the base card and envelopes but put everything else together using old cards and cut outs from magazines.
2. Finish knitting scarf
   - I'm determined to actually complete the scarf I started making a while back. It will be my first completed knitting project.
3. Complete mending
   - My mending pile has been sitting there for so long that it's about time I tackled it. Mostly simple things. One thing I actually need a sewing machine for so I'll leave that until I'm at my parents over Christmas. My aim is to get through everything that can be hand sewn.
4. Clean microwave
   - A simple job that I always seem to forget to do. 
5. Sort small spare room
   - We've been in this house for almost a year and this room still has boxes full of stuff. I need to sort through and find homes for things in here. If we don't want things anymore then I'll have a donate/sell pile.
6. Fix rotting windowsills and repaint
   - Our windowsills have a few places with rot. So we need to chisel out the rotten bits and put resin in. Then repaint. A job for both hubby and me.
7. Clean fridge and freezer
   - Another job that I always put off. It really needs doing. Might leave this one until it's reasonably empty in there.
8. Weed garden
   - I need to get on top of the weeding in the areas we've planted things. There's a certain area I find quite daunting but I need to suck it up and get it done.
9. Plant remaining plants
   - Mum and Dad came up with a pile of plants for our garden last month. We've planted most things but have a few things that we still need to find a home for.
10. Get rid of boxes in big spare room
    - We have a pile of boxes in the other spare room that we really need to put in the recycling as they're just gathering dust.
11. Clean and sort pantry
    - It's a jumbled mess in there. Need to get rid of a few things as well I think.
12. Clean and sort bathroom cupboards
    - Exactly what it says. 
13. Clean kitchen properly
    - AND KEEP IT THAT WAY! I have a terrible habit of letting our kitchen get too dirty. Time to fix that.
