Sorry for the second post but my comp is so slow this morning I doubt it would allow me to edit one.:mad::mad::mad:

Anyways, plan for today is to study however since I got up at 8.30 I've

• stripped my bed
• Lycleared DD's hair (she's got nits, couldn't see any lice though)
• Lycleared my hair
• Wash load of sheets on.
• Breakfast for both of us.

Now I'm off to dunk DD in the bath & get her nitcombed before ex comes to collect her, and I best find my dressing gown as there is no way I'm going to be nitcombed and bathed & dressed in the next hour tops :rolleyes: I knew I shouldn't have snoozed my alarm

Well, GP watched (don't worry, I won't give the result) and now I need to get on - hubby is now tired after getting up early so is going back to bed :mad: - think I might start vacumming and singing loudly to the radio!!!

Not got a list as such, just going to work through each room and make sure clean and tidy - the kitchen and lounge only need tidying and a quick S&S coz I did them at beginning of the week, but the bathroom needs a good clean as does the downstairs loo, so here is what I am doing:

1. Sort out the washing and get a load on
2. [strike]quick 10 mins in my bedroom before hubby falls asleep...[/strike]:mad:
3. [strike]get dressed...[/strike]:o
4. tidy front room and kitchen
5. S&S both
6. vacuum downstairs and mop floors
7. tidy my office
8. put all washing away
9. VACUUM OUT MY CAR AND WASH THE COFFEE STAIN OUT OF THE FRONT SEAT!!! (it is disgusting and I can't send it to the repairers like that...:o )
10. Clean the bathroom thoroughly
11. Clean the downstairs loo
12. Go shopping for lunch stuff and F&V
13. bake some stuff for lunches in week
14. read minutes of last meeting and add notes to check for thursday
15. Get DS to do his room!!!!!!!!
16. Enter all invoices onto spreadsheet to take back with me tomorrow
17. make a tablecloth for house tomorrow
18. while machine out, fix DS's trousers, my dress and a couple of other bits
19. If time ??? make blinds for kitchen... (straightforward squares fixed to a batton that roll and tie up rather than roman blinds, as I don't have the rods)

Can't think of anything else at the moment (I'm sure something will pop up) but that should keep me quiet for a while!!!, right, here goes, music set to LOUD!!!:D

I know, falls on deaf ears, how/why do they manage to live with it like it??? I have had a word with hubby this morning - told him I've only been at work for 3 days and the house has turned into a tip again - his reply, Oh, I thought it looked quite clean!... Yea, coz of all the work I've been putting in when I've been at home and should have been working on my business - it's only mess everywhere making it look a tip - theirs!!!
Anyway, he's agreed to make an effort, clear up after himself, etc - but bet it will mainly be nag/bribe DS into doing it all for him - whatever gets it done works for me... we'll see how long it lasts...

Well I think I've just broken the record for bathing, nitcombing, dressing & drying DD :rotfl::rotfl: It took me 45 minutes all in and she was ready for ex arriving. However I'm a different matter. I'm still in my PJs, lyclear all over my hair, and I was putting a second load of washing in the machine. Off for a bath for me now, then I have the joy of trying to nitcomb my hair, thank goodness its short! :rolleyes: Think I might do it down here and try to study at the same time... Will see how I feel when I get out the bath (if I don't fall asleep in it) :wave:
