I'll be in but working to my own list I expect. I usually do the kitchen on Monday.

My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is..............to post at least once a day to my blog. I've been really lax in updating this for about 4 weeks

We are in - even if only feebly.

I have just copied out the list so that the kids can start on their rooms before I get home from work but as I've just sorted most of DD's and DS did his before he went to his dads for the weekend so should give me a bit of time to try and sort some of the stuff in the 2nd spare room which you can hardly get in the door as OH wants it as a computer room/office :rolleyes: .

He has decided that prior to Christmas we need to

• get a new TV (on'off buttons broken on the old one and it is 8 yrs old)
• paint front room (well it never had a second coat of paint)
• paint skirtings in front room
• but 2 new pine cabinets for storage in front room
• make new curtains with material I've had about 4 years
• buy new suite for front room as old one is 8yr old cream !!!!!!! :eek:
• move old PC from front room up into DD's room and PC unit into spare room/office
• move new PC from middle room up into office/spare room as well which means that room needs clearing and is currently the dump

And thats as well as working full time, preparing for Christmas and keeping house :rolleyes:

Apart from feed DP and I because he's being a **** insert whichever word you like there. My lists are done!!!! Think I am going to bed without eating today because I really can't be bothered to put up with him half falling asleep half being nasty which is all he's done since he walked through the door. I know he's tired as he gets very little sleep when he's going away but THAT IS NOT MY FAULT! Grrrr!! Sorry for the rant but it's that or I will do something I regret.

Next week should be loads easier on the housework side of things because it's all sparkly downstairs. I will be cleaning the hall and stair carpets at some point to make those hopefully half decent.

DS1s comment was something along the lines of I can walk through to get some crisps without having to step over something sadly he's right. I don't think it's been as clean or tidy since before the school hols. I am however aching all over so pills and sleep I think!

Goodnight all xx

Hi I'm in! The spare room is a right old mess and I will clean it up afterwork tomorrow only did 2 nights of flylady last week as getting home from work at 6pm after setting off at 8am means a bit too tired for all of this unfortunatley! Still a new week a new day!! as they sing along to!! Anyway enough for now - the spare room it is and my MACAW is NO ALCOHOL UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT AND DO NOT SPEND MORE THAN WHAT IS LEFT IN MY PURSE UNTIL SAT. It is in capitals to remind me I am serious!!!! It is only me on my own to look after and I must be strict at this time of year for now
