    Time to feed the mogs

    Thanks for the lists. I am in again this week. This week looks better then last work wise but only just. I have yr 10 parents evening and with 2 groups I can see it going past 7pm. DS’s parent’s consultation is this week but that shouldn’t take a lot of time. Yr 9 reports are due this week as well. I am going to do my best to do a little every day. It's weeks like these that follow each other when things tend to get out of hand.

    Hope this week works out better than you think. It can get rather hectic , can't it. Remember you can't do everything and if the house has to suffer a bit this week, you can always catch up later!
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Morning everyone, could I pleeeease join in. I really do need to get motivated and did try this last week. Although I only manage some of the duties, I felt so much better and organised for it.

    I have printed off todays list and also need to do the following:1. do weekly shopping, 2. take puppie walkies, 3. A ton of washing(1 already spinning as we speak). Just to name a few jobs.

    So hope this will keep me motivated. Catch you all later Savvymummy

    Morning All. Well will see what I can get done. Need to clean under the furniture in the living room while DD is at playschool as I can do the kitchen when she is around but don't like moving the furniture in the living room when she is home mainly because she gets in the way.;)
    Need to go to the bank to pay in cheque from DH so fair play to him for giving us that.

    G&B what is it not doing? we fixed ours by pulling machine out and blowing down the inlet water pipe.

    Its not doing anything! It stopped half way through a cycle and left the bottom full of water so we think its the pump. When we switch it on it makes a quiet thunk noise and then stops, we have pulled it out blown down the pipe, drained it, turned it on its side:confused:
