morning :hello:

early start for me too - ds was up with his coughing at 5.40 and we all got up 20min later (just my rule: we don't get up before 6am - the thing with that is that he keeps coming into my room to have a look at the clock to check if it's 6am already :rolleyes: )

BUT
- made my bed and opened all curtains / blinds
- s/s bathroom
- got clothes out for everyone
- medicated the kids


it's so much easier when DH is not around (he works nights and will be in about now ...)


i think i'll stick with minilists again - that kind of worked yesterday

- get dressed
- get kids dressed
- breakfast for all
- lunchbox for ds
- drop kids at nursery at 9am :j





kindlesgirl aww that's a nice compliment from your friend! always nice when someone else notices all your hard work! and well done on getting your kids involved!!

loopyloo those were not babystep more like giants!!! and congrats on your weight loss too!!!

Marvellous Monday - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
Vacuum through the living room, hall and stairs - didn't do cos OH had already done it!

Level 2
Dusting, even if around everything - done
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe - done
Cleantv screen - done, plus cleaned all glass inc. intrnal windows cos I didn't hoover

Daily stuff:
S&S Kitchen & bathroom - done
Tidy living room before bed - done
Make beds - done

Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks –
4. HHI - did an hour in front of the telly just to get everything done

MACAW - make an effort to floss every night & sort out next day's clothes before bed. :j - ok, didn't floss (should've listened and only tried one thing !) but did sort clothes out before bed.

Thanks everyone, I'm actually enjoying the sense of achievement and looking forward to today! Godd luck all, hope you have great Tuesdays xxx

Some early birds up and about. Hope the brusied ones are feeling better this morning and the fed up ones less fed up, hugs for everyone :grouphug:

It looks cold grey and damp outside this morning. I am off to declutter some of W's old clothes and toys this morning and depending on what time I get back I have another load to drop at my friend's for her DD. Am aiming to be home by lunch time but the first lady can chat and chat and chat (and I thought I did well!)

Hope you all have a productive day.

Morning all

I'm taking my time this morning as instructed by my boss, feels like it has already been a long week for us. However I do need to get my backside into gear now, clean my teeth and go! I've got to do a big detour on the way to collect something I left in Starbucks near tower bridge on Friday!

Hugs to pigpen and all who need them. It feels tough for alot of people at the moment.

I have stripped the bed this mornign as it was humming and I knew if I didn't do it this mornign I wouldn't be bothered tonight. Library books are also due back today, must renew or return...

Off to work now, will check in at some point but catch you all later

Morning :wave:

Hugs to all the bruised/not well/fed up peeps x

Welcome back LG nice to see you, glad the wedding went well...Congratulations and yes, piccies please

Washing machine is coming today! :j had to move this mornings job to this afternoon cause I couldn't find anyone to be here for it arriving, OH was doing it then had an urgent appointment at the Dentist (2 extractions :eek: ) so couldn't do it, don't think he'll be in any fit state to plumb it in either we'll see. So, done some tidying/bin out etc already just having a cuppa then I'm gonna do some serious flying.....the house has been neglected of late and seeing as I wasn't in most of the w/e I didn't catch up either. The great north run was fab though but the Red Arrows were better *drools* :cool:

Need to concoct a list.....
