My list is very long toay. I set my alarm so I could get up earlier in order to manage to do it all.

I will read through all your posts when I have my afternoon break.

Good news is the ground floor is going into the cottage as I type. My main role is tea maker for the lads and DH who are working hard to barrow and spread it.

So it's not just me!!! A lot of mine is presents etc. I need to start re-gifting stuff. Problem is I think 'oooh, papaya and mango souffle puff, how lovely, i'll just try a bit'...it's always as sickly and sticky as all the over things i've tried!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Right, going to clean the bathroom floor and then start on DD's room. DS is happy having a PJ day as he still feels a bit ikky. xx

Morning Girls!

Was woken up by my 4 year old dd at 5am, who was wide awake and dancing around to her Lazy Town CD. Not a great way to wake up trust me!!! Anway DS (2 years old) then woke up so I thought I might as well get up and do some flying!!! DH works away in the week so he missed all of this! Anyway so far I have...
Cleaned EnSuite
Cleaned downstairs loo
Finished deep cleaning the kitchen
Hoovered through
Mopped all the wood floors (again!)
Stripped the childrens' beds and washed sheets
Pegged washing out (another load to peg out after this!)
Took Bin Bags out

I am off to prepare lunch for dd and ds. Not too happy, have just found one of my house plants that I have had for years all over the lounge; DD has given it a severe haircut with scissors, and then has cut the strings to one of my new handmade blinds :mad: Off to count to ten and have a cup of coffee!

Have a good afternoon everyone x

If you use washing powder mix the soda crystals in with it to make it stretch. Makes clothes lovely and soft.

Thanks, any idea what proportions I should use. I'm still using the last of my Persil non bio. When it runs out I was going to try some little boxes of powder to find a cheaper one I like. I do loads of washing as DH, DS8 and twin girls 4, can't keep their clothes clean. DH still thinks the floor is for slightly worn, clean and dirty clothes, but loses the plot if I put any in the wash - more arguments about this than anything else and have now given up trying to change him.:mad: Children know that some clothes are lights and some are darks and generally put them in the hampers themselves. Downside this means much harder to check if clothes really are dirty, and it seems wrong to take them out again.:o

I have a 2.85kg box of persil non bio, i have mixed 2 full bags of soda crystals in to it:o Washing is lovely and clean and soft:D
