Buddiebabe's new beginnings....

Seaxwyn

Same here. What are you going to do first? I'll copy you!

buddiebabe

Well if you insist!!!!

I need to do the following:

- Take washing out the machine
- Put on another washing
- Hang up washing / put on tumble drier
- Ironing lots of it
- Pick up all the paperwork lying in the living room
- Pick up all the clothes in the livingroom and put in washing, ironing or away in the bedroom
- Pick up all shoes lying about livingroom

Yes the living room is bad... its like the main dumping ground for everything we don't have a place to put it

But the first thing im going to do is go to the toilet before i have a little accident

Great! I need to do all those things too (yes even the toilet visit), thanks for giving me the incentive, I am going to post back on here when I have done everything on your list.

buddiebabe

Okay will join you in that challenge....

looking forward to posting update later

Seaxwyn

OK I have...

- Put on a load of washing
- Ironing - done some, then DD and DS decided they wanted a go, DD is busily ironing my clothes now!
- Picked up lots of paperwork lying in the living room
- Picked up and put away lots of shoes lying about the place

I'm quite pleased with that, and thanks for the challenge otherwise I'm sure I wouldn't have done it! Now I'm going to turn off the computer and put away all the dry clothes. Good night!

buddiebabe

Wow thats great.... am thinking we should have a wee challenge like this at least once a week

Ok here is my list

I need to do the following:

- Take washing out the machine - done
- Put on another washing - done
- Hang up washing / put on tumble drier - done
- Ironing lots of it - all done :eek: :j can't quite believe it
- Pick up all the paperwork lying in the living room - majority done... only prob is its now lying in a mountain to go through
- Pick up all the clothes in the livingroom and put in washing, ironing or away in the bedroom - nearly finished
- Pick up all shoes lying about livingroom - done there were only 2 pairs

Well im going to go for a shower then put away all the ironing and then maybe sort out sock i hate that job

Thats great about the kids doing the ironing!

Yay! Well done us! Definitely we should do it regularly. I don't know exactly why it helps to know a stranger far away is also doing housework, but it does!

buddiebabe

Yeah i know its strange.... i know i needed to do it but if you hadn't said you'd do it too then i'd probably still be sitting on the couch from last nite

No way am i doing any housework tonight just in from work and am shattered am going to get my dinner and then go for a nice long hot bath and relax

Hi Buddiebabe - you've been very productive with your housework! We have a student teacher with us from Mondays- Thursdays which is the incentive I need to at least hoover, clean bathrooms etc.

After having a couple of months off - I am now back on the MSE wagon with a vengence. We have cleared a load of stuff ready to do a boot fair in a couple of weeks time (when it gets a bit warmer) and two weeks running have got rid of BIG stuff on Freecycle.

I am going to re-do my SOA tomorrow and be more realistic on my spending habits.

buddiebabe

Hey Mrs P glad your managing to keep up with your housework.... my house is back to looking like a bomb has hit it..... not good.

Im totally fed up i've just spent the last 2 hours sorting out all my accounts and making sure everything is up to date.... and its not looking good. Im going to struggle again to pay everything this month without having regular money coming in from ebay to keep me afloat im sinking fast. Fortunately i do have a wee bit of money from ebay still to come through which should tide me over till i get paid on Friday.

Im getting sick of all the juggling.... just waiting for all the balls to fall which i think could happen any day now

Im off from my 2nd job this week at night and next weekend so am going to try and get some stuff cleared up and cleaned out this week only problem is i had to go to my mums to collect some of my stuff thats been sitting in the garage for the past few months so it's not blocking the hallway i have no where else for it to go at the moment.... its not in great condition either being stored outside and some of the things i wanted to keep i had to bin as there had been mice in chewing at the books so its not been a good day.

Im hoping that if i can get through work 2moro i will have my clearing, cleaning and de cluttering head on 2moro night and maybe i will get some stuff done then.

I really need to get some extra money coming in so will need to think of ways to do this. I could do a carboot sale next weekend but i don't really think the weather's up to it at the moment and i'd probably get more for the stuff on ebay.

Its list time!!!! Here goes:

This week i want to:

- Put 5 things on ebay every night
- Make proper dinners every night (using up whats in the house)
- Make lunch for work everyday
- Keep washing and ironing up to date
- Clear the bedroom carpet.... Can't see it at the moment.... there is a path to the bed and thats it
- Clear out kitchen cupboard so i can use it for storage... not sure whats lurking in there at the moment
- Do all my hand washing.... there is an overflowing basket of it

Well i think that's enough to keep me going for now

Going to try and get some sleep now and hopefully wake up feeling more positive and rearing to go!
