Thanks Denise. Have taken my meds-no common activities (which I guess is a good thing). I'll just leave it where it is for now and see what DF thinks when I've got over my wobblies.
Triker You know how you always say "that Thang"...I know it sounds odd but thanks for saying it just now. Every time I read it I hear my dads voice. He also always calls things "Thangs", and especially when he's giving one of us a proud squeeze about the shoulders:). I miss him.
Oh dear Im all weepy now, Greenbee's not looking...may I PLEASE go have a cig now?

ETA And me with my minimals with Toots on her way into the hospital again, Im sorry. But you just reminded us again why 6 days will seem so loooonnng:)

Hi! 1st post. wondering if you OSers could help. I am a traditional housewife, and making a wonderful safe and comforting home for my family is really important to me. The thing that I have a problem with is structuring my day in order that all jobs get done. Does anybody have a plan to make things go smoothly?

In the 1930s or 1950s did a housewife learn a particular set routine from her mother??? I love learrning about the past and wondered if anybody had any wisdom to share, i.e. do i do my baking in the morning? or is it better to do the washing them? etc.

sorry if this sounds a bit rambling, but i am in my mid 20s and I grew up in care so i have had no useful skills passed down to me!

please help

Just me then:

Ready, Steady, GO!!!

Morning ladies

I've woken in a grump as ds2 was awake lots in the night again and i am seriously tired. however, it is a sunny day so i'm going to do my best to plod on.

so far:

• boys up and dressed, ds1 and me eaten, just feeding ds2 as we speak
• sorted a pile of undies/PJs of mine to pack
• wm been on as i realised i had no nice tops to pack for the weekend. i'll [strike]get that on the line soon[/strike]
• steriliser run and water boiled in kettle
• bathroom bin emptied
• ebay parcel wrapped
• washing line cleaned
• bottles made up
• purees out of freezer to defrost for ds2 - today and tomorrow
• tonights dinner (chilli) out of freezer
• washed/teeth cleaning
• WM on again with 6-9 month coats - thick and should part line dry as it is so warm :j , also done a dark load of kiddies clothes - too many now to go on the line :rotfl:
• cleaned black crayon marks off ds1's toy garage and my laminate floor
• told other NDN we are away this weekend

priorities today:

• [STRIKE]post office - ebay parcel[/STRIKE]
• deliver birthday card and stationary to sister
• mums shop - baby wipes, new toothbrush for ds1
• [STRIKE]food shop - milk, sandwich stuff, cheese[/STRIKE]
• cats - give food and bowl and feeding instructions to neighbours to feed while we are away. I hate just leaving them, it's the 1st time ever in 3 years, but the cattery was full.
• [STRIKE]empty kitchen bin[/STRIKE]
• collapse empty cardboard boxes and put in recycling bin, then put out for tomorrow morning
• pack our bag
• online food shop for delivery on monday night??

hope you all have a lovely day

Apart from spending hours in this site, tryinng to save money!!!

I try to clean at least 1 room a day. Make bread and hobnobs or stuff for kids packed lunches next day. Appointments with Drs, Dentists etc. I seem to spend a lot of time shopping. Going round different stores to get cheapest stuff and bulk by anything thats on offer. I try to read the paper and walk the dog - and of course there is always the garden to sort out!!!

Your job is very important. Good luck..

Hi, Welcome . I have 4 children, 3 at full time primary school and 1 at pre school 3 times a week. (though this week he is poorly, having had a bad Asthma attack:eek: ). Anyhoo I tend to base my routine around them. Usually having planned a weeks worth off menu's, I have shopping delivered on a monday. I tend to cook anything that can be prepared earlier in the morning. Doing chicken curry for tonight. I tend to do washing and dishes, tidying up as I am going along, like putting the clean laundry away, I then tend to find more laundry hidden under their beds:D. I also try and get time to myself and go running 3 times a week. I would say do what works for you. Perhaps your local college may do a history class or borrow books from the library.I don't remember my Mum doing very much, so I had to learn as I went along. Life's too short to have set days for doing things. Good luck
