    Good grief, Taxi, if you do all of that you'll put yourself into bed for a fortnight! Take it easy - you don't feel well, and your body told you to sleep twelve hours last night.

    Is that a lot then?...each job doesn't take too long....if I did them one after the other maybe an hour or an hour and half...but I do them bit by bit.
    I can only do queitish jobs during the day as DH is in bed...so will do just bits before he gets up.

    It takes you one and a half hours to do that lot? I appreciate that sorting socks won't take long, and thats 3 tasks, but still........ you're a superwoman. Officially!

    i agree you must be super woman. I'd be flaking with a list like that, but i do seem to be flaking quite a lot recently.

    Dinner is nearly cooked now...chicken,new pots,veg and gravy..we have to have dinner about 3ish as DH goes to work at 5pm and he likes a lie down for 1/2 hour before going to work.
    Will nip out shortly and do banking,car wash and Asda as it tends to be quiter in the afternoon...so takes less time...
    I see that list as a typical every day list but with a couple of extra jobs thrown in as quite a lot of that gets done every day...

    Now come on Taxi quote 'wash car and Asda' - now that's going a bit tooo far - is it a mucky shop or is it the cleaner's day off :confused::rotfl: or is it the new MSE way instead of cash :money:

    Well done on the new cleaning regime though - I do really well in school holidays but it goes downhill very quickly once I go back to work.
