Wow DeniseNZ that's amazing! I was looking proudly at my pile of neatly folded washing, now you have put me to shame. Mind you, my DSs are only toddlers so require more in the morning, I did get a lot done last night.
Have a problem now though, I have 2 things I really need to iron, can't wear them like that. But I don't iron (seriously done it 3 times since moved here over a year ago), my excuse is 2 toddlers make it too dangerous, any ideas what to do with them while I iron? If I can find iron and work out how to use it. Remember - don't touch the hot end!

Ragz - don't get disheartened - Denise is in New Zealand so it's actually night time for her and that's what she's being doing all day!

Thanks, that does make me feel a lot better! Was beginning to think I am the biggest slacker on here!

Ragz how long ago did he leave? Sorry, don't know how to double quote.

Erm, when he was about 11 and he's a few years older than you so a long time ago!

It's not raining here, if I do a load of washing what's the chance of it starting as soon as I go to hang it out? Anyone else in south-east been brave enough to hang out washing today?

Washing has been in for 20 minutes and it's just started to rain. But OH came down in his shorts so it's his fault as whenever he wears shorts it rains (not good when your a gardener!)
Also DD1 has discovered cornflakes, which means so has my nice clean floor! GRRRR!:mad:

welcome kate :hello: most of us copy pigpen list from first post and then alter add on our own bits, please dont aim for everything to be crossed off straight away most of us have been flying for a while which makes the list slightly easier each week ( well this is how it should work).

So the key is it build up slowly.
Thanx it did look a bit daunting

Lets see how I get on with this lot.
It would be nice to have the house looking ok for when DH comes home from work. He works at the power station and its the first day the IOM has been disconnected from the mainland. So if something goes wrong there's no backup power.


WEEKEND Frolics

1. Change any bedding you didn't get chance to do over the week!
2. [STRIKE]Meal plan for the next week and make a shopping list... based on what you found in the freezer and those things that need using from weekly cupboard sweep [/STRIKE]
3. Spend 15 minutes pairing up those nasty odd socks.. children are great at helping with these!!
4. spend at least an hour with your family... playing, reading or just watching a dvd and having a hug!
5. Work yourself to level 3 in your messiest room!! (I'm going to regret this one!!)
6. HHG.. everyone involved!!
7. Wash and fling all the uniform bits that won't be needed after summer
