This is my general TO DO list for the begining of every weekend.  This is not to say there isn't general maintenance to all these things during the course of the week, but the big cleanings happen on the weekends, when I've got a bit more time.  After all this stuff is done, then the housework starts...  Since I'm going away this weekend, these things are done tonight, and the rest, well it waits for me to get back.
