SAHM's getting organised in 2009!

Girl_least_likely_to

Have had a good day with my new cleaning routine today. I got all my must do's done before I had to leave the house at 11.15 to pick DD from nursery (dusting and hoovering all upstairs and stairs, and changing ours and DD's bedding which is all washed and dryed now ). DD and I spent a few hours at my M&D's ( I had a rest basically!) before coming back for tea. Whilst DH bathed DD I flicked the duster around the lounge and tidied up the toy room, so all I need to do tomorrow is clean the bathroom :j . Think I might just go shopping though instead;) .

Yesterday DD (and I ) made her thank you cards, just need to get her to sign the final few. When those are done I've done all my weekly to do's, Yay Me :j . I'm just hoping I'll have the energy to start next weeks to do's early, this pregnancy is really starting to tire me out. Here's hoping I'll run out of things to do before the baby arrives in 4 months :rolleyes:

skylight - I do this too!!!! Mine's an A4 folder with clear sleeve things (wallets?!?).

foreversomeday - love your rainbow goals and welcome to you and all the other newbies :hello:

Evening all!
Despite being at work today, I have had quite a productive day in the house too.

Got up at 6 45; had a bath and then cleaned the bathroom straight after.:A
Already had the boxes of cereals, bowls, spoons, cups, etc., out on the dining table so breakfast was a doddle - we do this every night ready for the next day, it's something the boys can help with ... only problem is that it looks like we live in a B&B!!
Packed lunches were mostly ready; had made up the tuna mayonnaise spread, so just needed to spread it on the wraps this a.m. ... didn't want them going soggy

Attempted to make cuppa no. 2 in my new thermal mug but I dropped it in the car and the tea leaked everywhere ... but I didn't leave it! I mopped it up when at work. Hasten to add I wasn't drinking whilst driving, but I thought I could sip it while photocopying!!!

Got home, so I got ahead of myself; read the post, chucked all of it in recycling, made dinner and stuck it in oven while I picked the kids up

Have cleaned kitchen and watered plants; didn't manage to get ironing done but am going to whizz through that now

It is SO much easier now that the boys have their own 'laundry bag' as I dont' have to hunt for missing socks, etc., and can just whisk the bags downstairs

Plan for tomorrow
- upload all my Christmas photos and choose the 12 I want to put in my new photo clock and send them off to Snapfish
- stick to the cleaning rota
- made some Numberjacks finger puppets with DS2 (have been putting him off for 2 days already)
- sort out clothes that no longer fit DS2 when he's in the bath and give them to Nursery

Have a good evening all!

Not been overly productive today though managed to get my dailies done- just got to hang out washing before jumping into bed! Bought a calendar today to try n be a bit better organised! Pfft! Did my daily walk but it was sooooo icy I very nearly ended up on my bum a few times! I was hoping that maybe it was like walking on sand and burned twice as many calories

Also sorted DD downstairs toy box and put lots of her toy's upstairs- really need to buy a storage unit for her room!

Plan for tomorrow is to scrub the kitchen and mop downstairs!

Keep it up ladies! We all seem to be doing well!

Todays task is to clean the inside of our microwaves really well. Put a bowl of water in there with a slice of lemon or lime and switch it on for 2-3 minutes then wipe it out with the lemony steam. Clean micro and nice smelling kitchen....to be an OSer don't waste the lemon water and use it to wipe round the counters and cabinets:D

Good morning everyone....

Oh back in a mo...

The phone rang

I got a lot achieved yesterday including clearing all the hot spots in the house :dance: (a flylady term for those areas that if one thing is put in them a whole pile of stuff will accumulate) and I found a home for many rogue items that seem to just float about.

I was a disaster in the kitchen though....I made a chilli which was inedible so I made a fried rice with the rice and that was disgusting too so we ate cereal for dinner :rolleyes: I have about 10 meals I can make that taste ok but I don't seem to be the greatest cook. I don't remember being this bad before I had my dd...maybe it is a lack of time. It is putting me off cooking:o If anyone wants to post their menu plan that would be great!

I like the idea of being challenged to do something like this! Please do it every day, feel free to boss me about lol I do as I'm told! Call it a daily challenge then it makes it sound exciting lol!!!

This one doesn't apply to me, we only buy a paper on a Sunday, and even then not every week and it goes in the bin soon after. I rarely get any magazines so there are none lying around. DH buys xbox magazines but he keeps them in his drawer.. But I would have done it if I had any!

I don't mind being a bit bossy so I will post a daily task and maybe the occasional surprise challenge if you like I've already posted today's task above! xx

hello ladies, i am back and finally nearly all better, i though i had appenditis (sp?) but the GP said it was Coliec or similar still not 100% but alot better lol

So today i have Gutted the Kitchen units which seem to be a hotspot for junk, and have sorted out the food cupboard done the dishes and put the bedding on a wash, i dont do my living till night when the kids are in bed otherwise it looks as bad as when i started lol so gonna do the bathroom and hall in a bit after my tea break lol. Oh and dp is going to help me put some of the 2 wee ones toys in the loft to make room in there room then i will be able to move in there pmsl
and will do the daily challange aswell today especially since i am in the kitchen cleaning

I need to start a meal plan which is flexiable and with a shopping list so can anyone help? it needs to be done on a fortnightly basis with top ups for milk ect weekly

cazscoob

feeling awful today and am so disappointed as i wanted to get lots done today. so as it would be better to do something than nothing i was thinking about writing up meal plans, new payment plans for bills and get organised with money in and out, and also a daily to do list with added extras to try and complete for each week:D

hope everyone is well and *hugs* to those in need:D x

I am feeling a bit spooked now, as I did this last night. That's twice in a row we've read each others minds. Spooky!!
