so you are not saying "never again" this time pigpen - and more importantly did the birthday girls enjoy it??

toots xx

The girls had a great time though almost half the children invited didn't turn up and didn't ring to tell me they weren't coming.. ggrrr.... so rude!

No, I actually said it was a good idea and it saved me loads of hassle and the children were fine and parents took them home at a reasonable time!

I NEED to be in this week. After all that time sick, the place is slowly falling apart around me.

Did myself a sensible half sized portion of roast dinner and managed to eat most of it (apart from one last little bit of chicken which I gave to the dog). I'm now off for yet ANOTHER v. early night ~sigh~

See y'all in the morning

Hello fertyskids you are very welcome here - dont be scared we dont bite (well most dont!!!) the other mums will tell you how manic their lives are so you are not alone!
Just dive in and take the rooms as they come along - do what you can and dont stress about the bits you miss they will come up next week again. Your home didnt get in a mess overnight so dont expect it to get tidy overnight!!! baby steps is the way to do - do NOt try to do it all at once - you will wear yourself ou and sicken yourself too (believe me - we've all done!)
A new room is added everyday so by the end of the week you will have been round the house! After 2 or 3 weeks you will see a difference and everything gets easier each week.
Welcome to the madhouse - the support and encouragement is the best!!
toots xx

Now that's a proper welcome.... :rotfl: see, welcome back Toots...

Lil_me, got your last post, thanks for the update - hope you get things sorted - if you've been on the list for a while you should still have quite a few points, and added to that you will be made homeless in the near future if she does decide to come back (get her to tell the council she is...), they should then up your quota each month so that you get more - hope you are able to get something sorted soon, and hope the bungalow works out!

:j Me I am in wanting to try and sort the house out before the 3rd December.

kitchen and dining room
Level One
clear and wipe work surfaces
Wipe over the cupboards fronts and kickboards
Clean down side of the oven and cupboards that get missed.

Level Two
Wipe the table
Sweep and mop the floors

Run appliances through a 'clean' wash (what's this ?)

Deweb and defluff these rooms

Level three
Clear and mop/vacuum the floors
binbag dance! Grab a binbag.. fill it up.. and chuck it out! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Clean the oven.. and the shelves!

Sorry I just copied and pasted this then chopped bis out that I did not need hope thats ok.

Also this week want to try and get the toys in the room sorted they seem to be breading in the corner. They need to be organsied and sorted for when the couch gets moved. It has to be moved to fit the Xmas tree in our small room, :rotfl:

Answer to the no Gas question:

The company that tend to the meters when the gas companies are shut, will not take responsibilty for my lack of Gas. Their reason it's my card that is at fault and not the meter, hence it is nothing to do with them as they only deal with meters.

I am going to get on the phone to Southern Electic in the morning going to take all my effort to be Civil to them though. They promised me cheaper bills when I singed up and this is not the case. Also looking at my welcome pack that I was given it looks like it is out of date. I hear head rolling when I get on that phone.

Sorry for my long post, I dnt half rattle on sometimes, just slap me. :rotfl:

I'm in with a modified list as still off sick. As long as I sit down as soon as I start to feel breathless I'm OK.

Tomorrow:
Dailies -
SS Kitchen, Bathroom, Shower room
Make beds
DW, WM, TD, BM, CM
Feed dogs, cats and fish
Groom dogs and cats
Walk dogs - I may be up to going round the block (1st time in a month)

Also want to do what I can from here:
Manic Monday - Kitchen, Utility and Dining Room/Area
Level One
Clean floors in these areas
Level Two
Wipe down surfaces
Wipe kitchen cupboard fronts and kickboards
Wipe down fronts of major appliances (cooker, fridge, freezer etc) and inside the microwave
Level Three
Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
Clean washer drawer, filters on the dryer, dishwasher and cooker hood filters
Clean the oven if missed last week or it needs it
Extra tasks - if you want to do more:
Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps, a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
[STRIKE]Empty one shelf (or the top of a cupboard) clean it, clean what's on it and put it all back
Clean out and organize one cupboard, more if you like[/STRIKE]
Wipe & replace small appliances like kettle, toaster etc (wipe under too, especially the toaster!)

I also need to carry on putting the books back on the shelves that came downstairs today.

DS has the doc at 8.30 then school for one lesson so to-ing and fro-ing with him.

Got to go to town for a few bits, but am trying to go with the "shop like your granny used to" scheme.

May go for paint for the base coat in the lounge as well. If DH gets ceiling done, he can begin the walls later!

DH and DS are looking forward to "Survivors" but I'm looking forward to a nice bubble bath!:p so I'll say goodnight, sweet dreams and God bless to you all. x
