    One list done, if i manage to get through half the livingroom list tonight i'll be happy. Think i'll wait until wee ones are in bed and hubby's away, blast the music up and get on.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    chas97michelle Happy birthday :bdaycake:
    Mummy2mygirls, congratulations on your new baby.

    Just finished scrubing the kitchen floor. I don't have to rush and lock the gate when I see DD crawling towards the kitchen now.
    The work will wait for you to finish showing the LOs the rainbow, but the rainbow would not wait for you to finish the work.

    I feel better already now I have done some flying and can cross some things off the list. Couple of disasters on the way - tried to get to the back of the cupboard for a clean microfibre cloth (use one in the kitchen all the time but the others haven't been used in a while :rolleyes:) and managed to jam a bottle of mould remover which then split and leaked over the bathroom floor - smelt of bleach and now so do I and had to do a major mop up...) Then got over enthusiastic cleaning the lampshade in the bedroom and knocked the bulb out and had a bit of a palaver trying to get it back in because it was hot and I couldn't see because the bulb wasn't in!!)

    Thank you.:p

    On my way....get the spare bed made for me and DS.....I will sort the rest!!!

    ALL washing is washed and dried or drying......have completed both lists, repotted all sunflowers and tomatoes....am a bit worried about the tomatoes though, they are not looking too good. I should have sorted them sooner. Hope they dont die before DS comes back from Scotland he will be devastated!! [IMG]http://smileys.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/cat/36/36_1_4.gif[/IMG]

    Anyway, have also stripped washed and hoovered little ones bed and done most of the kitchen so hopefully on those days i can have a good clearout of clothes and kitchen cupboards that i havent yet gotten round to....

    Little ones clothes are a must - as is the larder cupboard in the kitchen. I am also preparing to do a mammoth amount of ironing soon......think the knack is to stay off the thread and spend more time flying than catching up!! :rotfl:

    Mum is coming down next week so want to get the spare room spick and span and less like my personal walk-in wardrobe :rolleyes:

    PLUS - i must find my to-do list, i havent been able to find it since i went to scotland........must look for it tomorrow.
